冷战结束以来 ,美朝之间围绕朝鲜核问题已经发生了数次交锋。在此过程中 ,由于对外政策的主导思想和策略手段不同 ,前任克林顿政府与现任布什政府采取了截然不同的政策 :前者奉行“接触遏制”政策 ,旨在通过一定程度的妥协来换取朝鲜作出让步 ,最终达到促使其放弃核武开发的目的 ;后者则推行“对抗遏制”政策 ,力图采取对朝施加强大压力来迫使朝鲜完全屈从美国的意志。政策手段的不同 。

Since the end of the Cold War, there have been continuous conflicts between the United States and North Korea over the nuclear issue. In coping with these crises, the two consecutive American administrations, one under Clinton and the other under Bush, took greatly different approaches owing to the change of foreign policy ideology as well as external security environment: The former adopted what may be called 'engagement containment ' with a view of urging North Korea to recede from its nuclear ambitions by means of some sort of compromise, while the latter pursues what can be termed as “hawk containment”aiming to force its adversary to subjugate itself totally to the American will through tough coercion. Different policies resulted in different consequences.
