冷战结束后,如何充分利用有利的形势确保美国在21世纪国际事务中的“霸主”地位,始终是美国政府和民间关注的热门话题。布什政府在外交思维上深受冷战时期里根政府的影响,强调实力外交,主张以军事安全战略为突破点,维持和增强美国惟一“超强大国”的地位,以图摆脱其他大国的牵制,牢固地确立美国在国际事务中的主导权。在这一外交和安全战略的指导下,布什的共和党政府对前任民主党政府的政策进行了较大幅度的调整,竭力推进一系列以本国利益至上为特点的“单边主义”政策,整体外交明显趋向强硬。布什政府上台不久,便对俄罗斯和中国采取咄咄逼人的姿态,美国与其欧洲盟国也摩擦不断 After the end of the Cold War, how to make full use of the favorable situation to ensure the position of the US “dominant” in international affairs in the 21st century has always been a hot topic of concern to the U.S. government and people. The Bush administration was deeply influenced by the Reagan administration during the Cold War period and emphasized strength diplomacy. It advocated using the military security strategy as a breakthrough point to maintain and enhance the status of the United States as the only “superpower” so as to get rid of the containment of other major powers. It firmly established the U.S. leadership in international affairs. Under the guidance of this diplomacy and security strategy, Bush’s Republican government has made substantial adjustments to the policies of the former Democratic Party’s government and has endeavored to promote a series of “unilateralist” policies characterized by the supremacy of its own interests. Diplomacy has obviously become tougher. Shortly after the Bush administration took office, it took an aggressive stance against Russia and China, and the United States and its European allies have also been in constant friction.
