试析美国的“克制战略”

Assessing the Strategy of Restraint of America

随着美国国内对美国的自由霸权战略的日益不满,一种名为"克制战略"的战略主张日益受到美国精英和社会的重视。"克制战略"的主张者将其历史渊源追溯至华盛顿及亚当斯,指出冷战后美国的国家战略在理论和实践上的诸多纰漏,并将减少美国的军事盟友与海外军事部署和削减军事预算作为其核心政策主张。虽然许多研究者将"克制战略"与"美国衰落论"联系,但克制战略的主张者更支持一种对美国国家力量的乐观主义,这也使得其对华政策主张更为平和和理性。"克制战略"在美国未来的大战略中的影响有其现实基础,它对于国家安全战略中军事手段的反思也值得中国在建立海外利益保护机制时参考。

With the rising domestic criticism over American liberal hegemonic strategy in the Post-Cold War era,a self-proclaimed strategy of restraint increasingly gains popularity among elites and in the broader society.Tracing its historical roots to Washington and Adams,proponents of the Strategy of Restraint dissect the fallacies and inconsistencies of American Post-Cold War foreign policies and call for a realignment of American overseas force deployments and cuts in military budget.Although many researchers associate the Strategy of Restraint with American decline,its advocates often express optimism about American power.Such confidence gives rise to a more reasonable and less aggressive policy stance toward China.The Strategy of Restraint is likely to gain more voice in future American foreign policy.A deeper reflection on the role of military power in a country’s national security strategy can provide insight for China to better protect its growing overseas interests.
