冷战后美国两任政府对朝政策比较

接触与遏制并举是冷战后的美国两任政府对朝政策的重要特征。克林顿政府时期,"接触"占主导地位,是在接触的基础上寻求外交解决,实质上是一种"妥协性"的政策;小布什政府采取的是"鹰派接触政策",遏制占主导地位,其实质是"对抗性"的。导致两任政府对朝政策产生明显差异的主要原因是两任政府在全球战略应对的政策手段上及战略指导思想不同。在朝鲜核问题上,对伊拉克战争的胜利使小布什政府更倾向于实力解决问题,可以预期的是,在实现其核问题、导弹问题等方面的基本政策之前,小布什政府不会改变对朝政策的强硬立场,将继续坚持"国际化"方针,并进一步加强美、日、韩在对朝政策上的协调立场。

Comparison of the Policy toward Korea between Clinton Administration and Bush Administration in Post-cold War

One of the most important characteristics of US policy towards D.P.R.K. in post-cold war is that engagement and containment are co-existed. The Clinton administration's policy of engagement with Korea in fact is "compromise". Since Republican is mainly concerned about Korea's security issues including weapons of mass destruction, ballistic missiles and conventional forces, while the Bush administration's approach to Korea is much tougher than its predecessor, which in fact is "antagonism". Given the prevailing situation, Washington's "hard-line" policy will not be changed unless the Korea nuclear problem and missile development can be resolved. The Bush administration will keeping on pursuing "internationalization" and reinforce the triangular alliance with the Republic of Korea and Japan by consulting the policy toward Korea.
