美国文化价值观对美国外交的影响

The Impact of American Cultural Values on U.S. Diplomacy

自美国踏上国际舞台之日起,其外交就带有一个明显的特点,即价值观化。以天赋使命观、种族优越论、扩张意识、实用主义等为基本特征的美国文化隐形影响、指导、规范着美国对外政策的制定与实施,并在对外政策中得到充分的体现。同时,美国外交赤裸裸地强行输出美式民主、自由等价值观,这种观念和行为深刻影响着国际社会。

American cultural values were and continue to be highlighted in American diplomacy since America came to international stage.American culture,which is characterized by manifest destiny,racial superiority,sense of expansion,pragmatism,invisibly influences and guides the formation and implementation of U.S.foreign policy,and it is clearly reflected in U.S.foreign policy.Meanwhile,the U.S.government worked hard and continues to work hard on peddling such American values as liberty and democracy to other countries in American diplomatic activities.This concept and practice exert great impact on the international community.
