后冷战时期马来西亚对美政策评析

On Malaysia's Policies toward the United States in the Post-Cold War Era

后冷战时期,马来西亚与美国展开一连串激烈交锋,两国关系一度非常紧张。马来西亚对美采取强硬政策的原因,包括冷战后国际政治格局变化,美国东南亚政策的改变,以及金融危机后马来西亚的政治和经济安全面临的严重威胁等。但马美经贸关系继续发展,美国还跃升为马来西亚最大的出口市场和外资来源,这与马来西亚成功的外交谋略不无关系。对美政策有效地捍卫了马来西亚的政治和经济利益,提高了马来西亚的国际地位,基本体现了马来西亚当时的国家利益,充分显示了小国外交的智慧。

The relationship between Malaysia and the United States has once been very tensed in the Post - Cold War era. The reason why Malaysia adopted hard policies toward the United States are as follows ： the transformation of international political pattern, the change of American policy toward Southeast Asia, and the serious political and economic security danger that Malaysia encountered after the financial crisis. However, as a result of the diplomatic wisdom, the economic relationship between the two countries has developed continuously and the United States has become the largest export market and source of foreign capital of Malaysia. Malaysia＇ s pohcy have protected effectively the political and economic interests of Malaysia, and thus promoted its international position, which revealed the diplomatic wisdom of a small country.
