试析美国在《环境外交报告》中所倡导的合作的实质——以《京都议定书》为例

The Essence of Cooperation Advocated in The State Department Report on Environmental Diplomacy of the USA

后冷战时期,环境问题影响到美国人民与国家的利益,因而克林顿政府决意将环境置于外交政策的主流。1997年美国国务院发布的《环境外交报告》即为标志。美国在报告中提出全球、地区和双边的合作是解决环境问题的根本方法。然而美国在《京都议定书》上的表现却令人失望,反映出美国在环保领域中所倡导的国际合作存在着不公正、无诚意和有偏见的实质,体现出国际环保舞台上的矛盾与斗争。

In the post - Cold War period, the environmental issue began to influence the interests of American and the American people, so the Clinton administration decided to include it in the mainstream foreign policies. In 1997, The State Department Report on Environmental Diplomacy was published, a symbol of the policy change. It points out that global, regional and bilateral cooperation is the basic methods to solve the environmental problems. However, the American disappointing performance with regard to Kyoto Protocol is a reflection of the impartiality, insincerity, and intentional bias in the international cooperation advocated by the USA in the field of environmental protection, disclosing the contradictions and struggle therein.
