摘要
1990年约瑟夫·奈提出“软权力”概念。近年来,这一概念在国际关系理论和政策界都广为使用。但是人们对于软权力的定义、来源和要素有着不同的看法。本文首先从权力理论入手,就软权力的来源阐明观点,并从历史的角度分析美国在拉美地区软权力的基础。
尽管“软权力”仍是一个相对较新的概念,但美国外交政策中软权力策略的使用由来已久。从历史上看,美国通过观念、制度和政策三个方面构建了在拉美地区的软权力。相应地,软权力策略构成了美国对拉美外交政策的必要部分,如金元外交、睦邻政策和“争取进步同盟”等美国对拉美的政策和措施都体现了软权力策略的因素。冷战结束后,布什政府和克林顿政府对美国的拉美政策做出了一些重大调整,如推广民主、贸易自由化和加强与国际机构的合作等。通过这些政策转变,软权力的重要性也得以强化。本论文试图从权力策略的角度分析冷战后美国对拉美的外交政策,确定软权力在美国外交政策中的重要性,并总结美国在拉美地区软权力策略对于中国的启示。
In recent years, soft power, a term coined by Joseph Nye in 1990, is becoming more and more popular in China as well as the rest of the world. Although people frequently talked about it, they tend to interpret it quiet differently. Moreover, the sources or elements of soft power remain debated. This thesis sets to explore the power theories, identify the sources of soft power, and analyze the sources of US soft power in Latin America from a historical perspective.
Though soft power is a comparatively new concept, the soft power strategy has been used in the practice of US foreign policy a long time ago. Historically, the United States built up its soft power in Latin America through three sources: ideas, institutions, and policies. Correspondingly, soft power strategy constituted an indispensable part of the US foreign policy toward Latin America. Such policies and initiatives as Dollar Diplomacy, Good Neighbor Policy, and Alliance for Progress are examples of the application of soft power strategy in the history. In the post-Cold War era, the first Bush administration and the Clinton administration made significant changes to their foreign policies toward Latin America, such as democracy promotion, trade liberalization, and enhanced collaboration with international institutions. Through these policy shifts, the role of soft power was intensified. This thesis attempts to analyze the US foreign policy toward Latin America in the post-Cold War era from the perspective of power strategies, identify the role of soft power in US foreign policy, and sum up the implications of US soft power strategy in Latin America for China.
