印尼马对抗时期的美国对马来西亚政策

America's Policy toward Malaysia during Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation

印尼马对抗时期是美国对马来西亚政策的重要演变期。美国对马政策经历了肯尼迪政府道义上支持马来西亚实际上援助印度尼西亚的"双轨政策"、约翰逊政府时期的"调节干预和直接卷入",最后的"扶马抑印尼、确立美马友好关系"三个阶段。印尼马对抗结束时,美国已成为马来西亚最主要的西方盟友。美国对马政策的演变是美国冷战遏制战略的体现,确保了美国在东南亚的核心利益。

The Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation saw the major 3-stage change in America＇s policy to Malaysia. During the Kennedy administration,America adopted ＂double track＂policy toward Malaysia,morally supporting Malaysia,practically aiding Indonesia. When it came to the Johnson administration,America started to intervene and directly involve in the confrontation. Later the American government began to openly support Malaysia and became Malaysia＇s major western ally. The evolution of the US policy toward Malaysia was the embodiment of the cold war containment strategy in ensuring its interests in Southeast Asia.
