美国对外干预政策调整面临的国内政策环境

The Domestic Policy Environment for the Adjustment of U.S.Foreign Intervention Policy

奥巴马政府对利比亚采取的干预行动,引起国内较大争议。支持者们对这种"新干预模式"给予很高的评价,认为它在争取合作、控制成本方面做出的努力,在相当程度上可成为今后美国海外干预行动的"范本"。而批评者们则认为,新政策过度倚重多边合作,"从背后领导",给人的印象是美国干预国际事务意愿减弱,不利于维护美国的领导地位和影响力。要认识新干预政策是否、或将在多大程度上能代表美国外交政策的走向,需要对它所面临的国内政策环境有较全面的了解,包括:它引发的争议;争议背后的基本认识分歧;受到的竞选政治影响;有关的民意变化趋势。

Obama's Libyan intervention has triggered a mixed reaction in its own backyard.The supporters speak highly of this'new intervention model'and believe that the efforts of pursuing cooperation and cost-controlling in this case could even act as a model for future international interventions.The criticizers think that new intervention is over-dependent on multilateral cooperation.'Leading from the back'demonstrate America's weakening willingness in international interventions which will impede America's leading role and influence.To fully recognize this new intervention strategy and if, or at what extent,it will represent the future trend of America's foreign policy,we need to get a fully understanding of its domestic policy environment,including debates on the'new intervention model'and basic differences behind,the influences of election politics,the changes of public opinions.
