美国联盟战略的新变化

Recent Development in U.S. Alliance Strategy

冷战后,美国为维持其霸主地位,以"共同理念"为基础对传统联盟关系进行了重新定义。但随着布什政府"单边主义"色彩的增强,美国与盟国之间的裂痕也日益显现。"9·11"事件后,美国决定绕过盟国自行其事,从而降低盟国的军事作用。美国的联盟政策中出现了以"实用主义"为核心理念的临时联盟取代以"共同理念"为核心的传统联盟的势头。

After the Cold War, the US. redefined the concept of alliance on the basis of common ideals in order to maintain its hegemony. However, with the rise of Bush administrations unilateralism, the gap between the US. and its allies has widened. After September 11, Washington decided to bypass its allies, thus reducing the role of NATO as a military alliance. The US. alliance strategy is shifting its emphasis from traditional alliance based on common ideals to temporary coalition based pragmatism.
