约翰·亚当斯与美国孤立主义外交

John Adams and Policy of Isolationism of America

约翰·亚当斯是美国早期最重要的外交家之一。虽然我们不能确认其自传中所述1775年相关辩论的真实性,但由他主持制定的《模范条约》是美国孤立主义外交理念第一次全面和系统的表述。在独立战争的特殊历史背景下,亚当斯灵活执行孤立主义外交路线,除加强与欧洲诸国的经济文化联系外,又与法、荷、西结成暂时性同盟以确保新生国家的安全。因此,他不仅是孤立主义外交的理论奠基人,也是这一外交路线的早期践行者。

John Adams was one of the most important diplomats in early American history. Though we can＇t assure the authenticity of his debate in 1775 written in the autobiography, the Paradigmatic Treaty, directed by Adams, was the first systematic formulation of Isolationism policy. Under the background of revolution, Adams adopted a flexible lso）ation policy. He not only strengthened the economical and cultural relationship between Europe and America, but formed a temporary alliance with France, Holland and Spain, etc. Therefore, he was the founder and practitioner of the policy of Isolationism in early America.
