伊朗核问题最终需要通过外交谈判和平解决

最近一个时期以来,伊朗核问题就像坐上过山车一样,时起时伏,险状频生：在大多数时间里,美国和伊朗在伊朗核问题上强烈较劲,互不退让,武力对抗似乎一触即发,2010年4月21日,美国总统奥巴马在公布其新的核政策时,宣布将伊朗从美国不进行核打击的非核国家中单列出来,公开对伊朗进行核威胁,双方的矛盾进一步激化。多年来,这种动荡局面反反复复地出现。     

Muslims Will Be Disappointed

America is more a creed than a nation. Our promise has always been that all individuals, despite race, religion or gender, have the equal chance to make it. The election of Barack Hussein Obama as president of the United States is thus a “soft power” coup for America's global image, which had lost its luster during the Bush years. Obama is the anti‐Bush who will lead by the power of example instead of the example of power. Yet, there are real limits. Can the power of example stop the North Korean or Iranian nuclear programs? Can it stop jihadists bent on establishing a new Caliphate across South Asia? Can it limit China's ambitions as the new power in Asia? In this section commentators from across the world offer their views.     

Only Full Integration Can Save Europe

The sovereign debt problem in Europe, ignited by Greece, has morphed into an economic crisis challenging the solvency of major banks and countries as well as a generalized crisis of governance. Lacking the legitimacy of public support, the leaders of the European Union's fledgling institutions have been indecisive and unable to contain the looming danger of financial contagion. Along with the economic slowdown in the United States, instability and volatility in Europe threaten to derail the fragile global recovery. In this section, several former European leaders as well as political figures from the emerging economies offer their ideas on how to fix Europe and stem the global threat.     

奥巴马时代美伊关系博弈

迄今为止奥巴马并未对其中东政策做出系统的阐述,但是从奥巴马执政100多天来其本人和美国政府高官的一系列讲话和对外宣示中的表态,我们仍可以厘清奥巴马中东政策和对伊朗政策。奥巴马对伊政策的确有别于布什,但实质仍是“胡萝卜加大棒”的政策——胡萝卜不多、也不新鲜,而大棒早已高高举起并随时都可能打下来。美伊开始了新的博弈。
