试析美国与中日钓鱼岛争端

Analysis of U. S. Policy about the Sino-Japanese Dispute over Diaoyu Islands

近年来,全球金融危机的幽灵在欧美日国家徘徊,这与亚太地区新兴国家的崛起形成鲜明对比。美国全球战略的重点开始转向亚太,奥巴马政府的亚太再平衡战略应运而生。中日钓鱼岛争端的升级,则为美国实施亚太再平衡战略提供了一个有利的切入点。美国在钓鱼岛危机的不同阶段分别扮演了助推者和斡旋者的角色,展现了其政策的灵活性。其实质是要在钓鱼岛争端中充当操控者,使中日关系陷入纠纷,但又不允许这种纠纷升级为军事冲突,从而达到牵制日本的离心倾向、防范遏制中国、阻滞东北亚区域合作进程、维护美国在亚太地区领导地位的战略目的。美国介入中日钓鱼岛争端,助推了东北亚地区的紧张局势,暴露了其亚太再平衡战略的真实意图也在一定程度上凸显了这一战略的失衡效应。

The United States intervened in the Sino-Japanese dispute over Diaoyu Islands, which exacerbated tion of the Asia-Pacific re-balancing strategy and also the tense situation in Northeast Asia, exposed real inten-highlighted the imbalance effect of it.
