“新大西洋主义”——在新时期维系美欧关系的新构想

“NEW ATLANTICISM”——A NEW ARCHITECTURE FOR MAINTAINING US—EUROPEAN RELATIONS IN A NEW ERA

国际形势的急剧变化促使美国着手调整对欧政策,提出“新大西洋主义”。“新大西洋主义”的基本思想是维护美国在欧洲的利益,其内容为:加强现有的西方各种体制,特别是北大西洋公约组织;以条约的形式加强美国同欧洲共同体的联系;扩大欧安会的作用;提出四项原则,牵制德国统一的进程。“新大西洋主义”绝非是根本消除美欧矛盾和分歧的灵丹妙药,今后美欧关系可能会出现一些复杂的变化。

A dramatic development ofevents in the world compels the U.S.to adjust its Europe policy and initiate a“newAtlanticism”.The main theme of this new Atlanticism is to protect the U.S.interests in Europe by strengthening the West's existing institutions,with NATOin particular,strengthening U.S.ties with the European Community in treatyform,broadening the role of the CSCE and restraining the process of German reuni-fication through four principles.However,New Atlanticism is by no means apanacea for eliminating U.S.-European contradictions and divergences.The futurerelations between the U.S.and its European allies are likely to fluid with newcomplexities.
