论卡特政府的对韩政策

On the Carter Administration's Policy toward South Korea

在美韩同盟关系的历史进程中,卡特政府的对韩政策具有一定的典型性。卡特政府积极推行人权外交,首次把推动韩国的政治民主建设提高到空前的高度,并首次明确提出从朝鲜半岛完全撤出美国地面部队。然而,由于美国政府内部的分歧及韩国方面的抵制,卡特政府的这两项对韩政策最终黯然收场。卡特政府的对韩政策结局,说明即使是具有理想主义色彩的卡特政府,也难以摆脱美韩安全关系为核心的同盟关系束缚;而美国对韩国的政治民主建设目标的实现,则也需要假以时日。

In the historical process of the alliance,the Carter administration’s policy toward Korea has some typical characteristics.The Carter administration is actively promoting human rights diplomacy,firstly lift the building of political democracy in South Korea,which is the important long-term objectives of US’policy toward South Korea,to an unprecedented height,and for the first time clearly put forward to completely withdraw US ground forces from the Korean Peninsula.However,because of differences within US government and boycott of South Korea,the two policies eventually ended in gloom.The end of Carter administration toward Korean policy reflects that security relation is the core between US and South Korea,it is difficult to loosen the bonds of the core.Meanwhile,the realization of the building of political democracy need to give sufficient time.
