美国与英日同盟的瓦解

The United States and the Dissolution of Anglo-Japanese Alliance

1902年建立的英日同盟在经历了两次续约后按照华盛顿会议的安排走向终结。在英日同盟瓦解的过程中,美国作为直接受益者发挥了至关重要的作用。作为新兴大国的美国不仅成功分离原有霸权国主导的双边联盟,同时通过建立替代性机制为本国安全与利益提供了保障。回顾这一过程,可以清晰地辨识美国处理英日同盟问题过程中的内在逻辑与战略选择,这些经验对于我们妥善应对亚太安全环境的变化具有积极意义。

The Anglo-Japanese alliance which was announced on 1902 came to the final end after a series of trouble. As on its way to be dissolved in the history, the United States played an important role which benefited immediately from this event. As a rising power, the United States not only successfully divided the bilateral alliance dominated by the original hegemony but also provided reassurance for its security and interests. When reviewing this process, the inherent logic of the means and strategies which were adopted by the United States could be clearly recognized. This experience would also contribute to the understanding and the coordination with the variation of security environment in the Asia-Pacific region.
