90年代韩美关系演变探讨

A Probe into the Evolution of the Korean-American Relationship in the 1990s

第二次世界大战后美国帮助韩国建国,并在朝鲜战争中将韩国纳入美国的东北亚地缘战略体系之中,与韩国结成同盟。此后,由于韩国国力孱弱,韩美关系无论从政治、军事上,还是从经济上都以美国主导、韩国依存的方式发展。90年代以来,随着冷战的结束以及韩国综合国力的逐渐增强,韩美关系的演进显示出新的特点。韩国逐渐开启了自主的政治外交活动,在经贸等领域也与美国产生摩擦,使90年代韩美关系产生了不协调的因素,这为此后韩美关系的波折发展埋下了伏笔。

After the World War Two,the United States helped South Korea found its state.And it took the latter into the American geostrategic system of Northeast Asia in the Korean War and allied with this country.Afterward,because of weak national power,the Korean-American relationship has developed with the United States as a dominator and Korea as a dependent in politics,economy or in military.Since the 1990 s,with the end of the Cold War and gradual promotion of Korean national power,the Korean-American relationship has got new features.And Korea has gradually begun its independent political and diplomatic activities.And in the field of economy and trade,it has witnessed the conflict with the United States.And this has brought about the unharmonious factors for the relationships between the two countries which has sowed the seeds for the future development of such relationships.
