名分秩序原理相當程度彌補西方國際政治理論應用於東方國際政治解釋上之不足與缺憾，十分值得探究，特別對於兩岸涉及外交事務接觸上。本研究以臺灣涉外人員為調查訪問對象，共獲得有效樣本361份。迴歸分析結果證實：涉外人員的東方名分思想越高，中華臺北、務實外交認知也高；東方秩序論認知越高，大陸塑造臺灣為地方政府認知也高；中華臺北、務實外交認知越高，臺灣參與國際組織認知也高；大陸塑造臺灣為地方政府認知越高，參與國際組織機率認知越低。

The Principle of Status and Order, to a certain extent, makes up for a deficiency in Western theories of international politics. It has been particularly helpful in dealing with foreign and diplomatic affairs. The present study examined Taiwanese personnel assigned to diplomatic affairs and received 361 responses. A statistical analysis showed that the more the diplomats were aware of the importance of proper status in oriental thought, the more they understood the implications of the term ”Chinese Taipei” and pragmatic diplomacy. The more the diplomats were aware of the importance of proper status in oriental thought, the more they understood that Beijing attempted to make Taiwan a local government of China. The greater understanding there was of implications of the term ”Chinese Taipei” and Taiwan's pragmatic diplomacy, the more chances Taiwan had to participate in international organizations. Conversely, the more Taiwan was seen as a local government of China, the fewer chances Taiwan had to participate in international organizations.
