美欧冲突及其启示

The Clash Between US and Europe and tts Enlightments

美国与法国、德国在最近的伊拉克战争问题上发生了严重冲突。伊战虽已结束,但这种冲突并未消除。美欧冲突的根源与核心不是相互政治文化差异和经济利益争夺,而是其战略安全利益的歧异。只要美国坚持和强化基于独超强势地位的单边主义政策,美欧之间的矛盾和冲突就不会止息,且可能进一步上升与发展。这对美国的全球战略、美欧联盟和整个大国关系势必产生深远影响。美欧冲突的深刻启示是:国际政治的根本驱动力不是经济利益,而是政治战略利益;大国之间的根本矛盾是政治权力之争;一个国家的经济力量不会自动转化为军事力量,更不能替代军事力量;美欧的矛盾冲突不会形成全面对抗,但也具有一定的不可调和性质。

A bitter clash of opinions on the issue of the recent Iraqi War occurred among the US, France and Germany. Though the Iraqi War has ended, the possibility of clash among them can't be ruled out. The roots and center of the clash between the US and Europe lie in neither the political and cultural differences nor the economic interests-seizure. They lie in only the differences of the conceptions of strategic security and interests. As long as the US sticks to its unilateralism policy based on the position and strength of the only superpower and pushes it further, the contradiction and clash between the US and Europe will not hold their breath. On the contrary, the contradiction and clash between them will further increase and develop. This trend will no doubt exert far-reaching influence on the US global strategy, the relations between the US and EU and the overall relations among big states. The deep enlightments we have got from the clash between the US and EU are as follows: the fundamental driving force for international politics does not mean at all economical interest but the political and strategic interests; the fundamental contradictions among big states lie in the political power struggle; the economical power for one state can t be automatically transformed into military power, and it can t be replaced at the same time by the military power; the contradictions and clash between the US and Europe will not lead to rivalry but they contain certain uncompromising degrees in nature.
