美印战略伙伴:进展、问题和前景

Indo-US Security Relations: Developments, Problems and the Trend

冷战结束后 ,美印关系的进展引人注目。通过 1998年后的战略对话和最高领导人的互访 ,以及 9 11后两国关系的转型 ,到今年年初双方宣布“下一步战略伙伴”倡议 ,双边关系进入一个新的高度。基于共同的价值和利益 ,华盛顿和新德里在经济和安全领域开展了前所未有的合作。但在双边关系不断升温的同时 ,两国在一系列国际问题上仍存在分歧。美印战略伙伴是暂时现象 ,还是会进一步走向战略同盟 ?这值得我们关注和准备必要的应对措施。

Indo-US relations have gained increasing momentum in the post-Cold War scenario, especially embodied by frequent high-profile visits, intensifying security and defense cooperation, and the joint initiative of “further strategic partnership”, which are largely based on the supposed shared values and overlapping interests. However, there have been visible disagreements between the both sides about a range of global issues, which cast uncertainties over the prospect of the bilateral relationship in spite of a possible trend of forging a quasi-strategic alliance.
