“9·11”事件前后美国与中亚的关系:变化与挑战

9·11 and America-Central Asia Relations:Changes and Challenges

“9·1l”事件以前,中亚在美国全球战略中还不是重点。“9·11”事件后反恐成为美国外交的重中之重,中亚在美国全球战略中的地位骤然上升。美国在中亚的军事存在不仅对中亚的战略格局产生了重要影响,而且已具有全球战略意义。伊拉克战争使美国的海外战线越拉越长,中亚恐怖主义的回潮,以及布什政府积极支持“民主改造”和“颜色革命”,又使美国的中亚政策面临严峻的挑战。

Before 9.11 terrorist attack, Central Asia was not the focal point in the American diplomacy, while we witnessed the abrupt rise of the position occupied by Central Asia, but also has global strategic significance. The Iraq War has forced America to extend its battle front longer and longer. Thus, the resurgence of terrorism in Central Asia and so-called ＂democratic reform＂ and ＂color revolution＂, actively supported by the Bush Administration, have also forced the United States to reorient its Central Asia policy, which is confronted with severe challenges.
