冷战结束后墨西哥的外交政策中的变与不变

由于受到独特的地理位置和历史的影响,墨西哥外交政策的基石是不干涉原则和民族自决。但墨西哥作为发展中国家,其外交政策不得不随着国际形势的变化而调整。冷战结束前,墨西哥的外交政策更多地强调民族主义;冷战结束后,墨西哥外交政策从强调民族主义转向现实主义,和美国结成战略联盟,大大改善同美国的关系。但是,墨西哥外交政策依然具有继承性。

The Changing and the Unchanged in Mexico's Post-Cold War Foreign Policy

Owing to the influence of its particular location and history, Mexico's foreign policy is based on the two principles of nonintervention and self-determination. At the same time, as a developing country, it has to adjust its foreign policy with the changes in the international situation. Before the end of the Cold War, Mexico's foreign policy was more focused on nationalism; while after the Cold War, its focus has been shifted from nationalism to realism which is characterized by its establishment of strategic alliance with USA. But its foreign policy as a whole is still based on the two principles of nonintervention and self-determination.
