冷战后美国与东南亚的力量平衡

AMERICA AND THE POST-COLD-WAR BALANCE OF POWER IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

20世纪是美国从一个大西洋国家逐步转向太平洋国家的时期,是美国在亚太地区的力量和影响经历从小到大、由盛渐哀的不断变化的时期。本文试图从美国与东南亚关系的历史、冷战结束对东南亚的含义、决定冷战后东南亚力量平衡的主要因素以及美国在该地区的政策选择四个方面,探讨冷战后美国与东南亚力量平衡的关系。

The United States, China, the Soviet Union and Japan are the most influential countries in the regional balance of power, but the role of the ASEAN should not be neglected either. These forces have constraining effect on each other. The United States will continue to be a major player in Southeast Asia, though it is retracting from the region.
