美洲自由贸易区与美拉关系

建立美洲自由贸易区是冷战后美国全球战略调整的重要内容,也是美拉之间的又一次历史性合作。美国试图根据自己的意图和标准掌握美洲自由贸易区主导权在拉美国家引起了不同反应。以巴西为代表的南美共同体主张南美国家以一个整体有条件加入美洲自由贸易区,挑战美国主导地位,古巴、委内瑞拉和玻利维亚组成的反美三国同盟坚决反对美洲自由贸易区,并提出玻利瓦尔美洲替代计划。美洲自由贸易区的建立乃大势所趋,但它的建立将会充满曲折和斗争,合作与冲突并存仍是贯穿未来美拉关系的一条主线。

Free Trade Area of the Americas(FTAA) and the U.S. - Latin America Relations

The founding of FTAA is an important part of the global strategy of the United States after Cold War,and another historical cooperation between the U.S and Latin America.That the United States tries to capture the dominant power over FTAA in terms of its own intention and standards,has brought about different reactions among Latin American countries.The South American Community of Nations with Brazil as its representative advocates that South American nations as a whole will accede FTAA with qualifications so as to challenge the dominant power of the Unite States;while Cuba,Venezuela and Bolivia form themselves into the Anti-U.S.Alliance of the three nations to resolutely oppose FTAA,and propose ALBA to replace it.In spite of the fact that the founding of FTAA is in accordance with the general course of development,its accomplishment will be full of tortuous struggles.Thus the coexistence of conflicts and cooperation will be the main course in U.S.-Latin America relations in the future.
