从1968年捷克斯洛伐克事件看英国的东欧外交

A Study of Britain's Eastern-European Diplomacy in the Czechoslovakia Event in 1968

1968年的捷克斯洛伐克事件是冷战走向缓和过程中的重要事件,也是东西方关系中的重大事件。在这次事件中,英国确定并坚持了"鼓励但不干预"的基本原则,也执行了不趁机离间东欧国家与苏联关系、不单独对抗苏联的政策。英国的东欧外交具有比较明显的双重性,即一方面很大程度上取决于英国的对苏政策,另一方面又具有一定的独立性。英国在冷战期间始终保持着与东欧国家的交往,以期从长远促进东欧国家的社会变革。在与东欧国家交往时,英国也十分重视西方联盟的团结。

The Czechoslovakia Event in 1968 was a critical event during the cold war heading for ease, and it was an essential event for the East-West relations too. In the event, the British government set the＂encouraging but not wedging＂ principle to not sever the relations between east European countries and Soviet Union, and the policy of not solely confronting Soviet Union. The Britain＇s East European policies had an obvious duality. They depended largely on the Britain＇s policies towards Soviet on the one hand, and owned some independence on the other. Throughout the cold war era, Britain kept contact with the east European countries in a long run to promote deep social changes in these countries. When contacting with the east European countries, Britain also emphasized the unity of western alliance.
