美国学者研究视角下的中美战略困境

The Sino-US Strategy Dilemma through the Eyes of American Scolars

进入21世纪以来,随着中国的和平崛起,美国对中国实力增长不确定性的担忧逐渐加深,美国的中国问题专家在研究中美战略关系时越来越强调对华战略竞争因素,强调美国应扩大和改善同其亚洲盟友和合作伙伴的关系,特别是改善和那些对中国长期抱有忧虑的国家的关系。他们认为,美国在亚洲的安全合作具有多种目的,但目前的重点是建立防止或劝阻中国通过强制外交扩大在该地区影响的机制,同时利用这些合作加强其盟友和合作伙伴抵抗中国影响的能力和信心。文章运用现实主义分析方法,论述当代美国学者研究中美战略困境的不同视角。

As China＇s rise has progressed since the beginning of the 21st Century,American concerns over the uncertain growth of Chinese power have deepened.American China experts have increasingly emphasized strategic competition with China in their research of US-China relations,arguing that the United States should broaden and upgrade relations with its strategic partners and allies in the Asia-Pacific region and especially with states that harbor long term suspicions of China.They argue that America has many forms of security cooperation in Asia,but that presently the focus is on building mechanisms which prevent or dissuade China from using coercive diplomacy to expand its influence in the region,and using cooperation to strengthen the capacity and confidence of partners and allies to check China.The article relies on realist analysis to consider contemporary research by a range of American scholars on the Sino-US strategy dilemma.
