Why Counter-terrorism Breeds Yet More Terrorism

The global campaign against terror has achieved considerable success over the past five years since the events of 9/11. The Taliban forces in Afghanistan have been destroyed and Al-Qeda has received a devastating blow. In Russia, Chechen secessionist terrorist forces have also suffered heavy losses. Nevertheless, the major terrorist attacks that took place in the UK, Spain, Russia, Iraq, India and Indonesia clearly demonstrate that terrorism has not yet disappeared.Terrorist attacks are on the increase, the targets are becoming more varied, and the methods more covert and more violent. Terrorist groups and organizations have become better organized in their activities and there is a trend towards the use of high-tech in the attacks.Some world public media refers to these phenomena as "counter-terrorism leading to yet more terrorism". Therefore, two fundamental questions may be posed to all countries throughout the world: What are the roots of terrorism? How can terrorism be eradicated?     

How to Appraise？

The world is complex and full of changes. This is the fundamen-tal characteristic of the international situation. In the five years sinceSeptember 11, the increase of the terrorist threat has impelled the U-nited States to adjust its global strategy. Unil…     

New generation of leaders of the major world powers begin to operate the rudder

The period from mid-2007 to the end of 2008 is the peak time for the change of power in world major countries. Starting from the enthronement of French President Sarkozy and to the election of a new president for the United States this year, the one and a half years＇ time will witness the change of leaders in four of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council. A new generation of world leaders have come on stage and a fresh chapter of international politics has been opened.     

试析恐怖主义问题对中国外交的影响

以“9.11”事件为标志,国际恐怖主义活动进入新阶段。恐怖主义以其复杂性和国际性深刻地影响着国际关系,成为影响国际形势发展的重要变数。恐怖主义活动与中国有着历史和现实的联系,使中国外部安全环境面临着新的威胁,危害国家安全的不确定因素增多。国际反恐合作使中国改善和充实了大国外交,调整和巩固了周边关系,在国际社会中提升了国家形象和影响力。在应对海外中国公民遭遇恐怖袭击问题时体现了中国“外交为民”的新理念。     

国际恐怖主义问题浅析

恐怖主义源于近代的无政府主义、本世纪六七十年代,恐怖主义成为一种国际潮流和国际政治斗争的特殊手段。近年来,由于民族（种族）主义、宗教问题及意识形态的影响,国际恐怖主义愈演愈烈,并且出现了一些新的动向,如出现了使用生物武器、化学武器乃至核武器向人们示威的可能性,并在西方国家内部加强了活动。国际恐怖主义对世界和平和国际间正常交往以及人类社会的进步,都会带来极大的危害。我国政府历来都坚决反对国际恐怖主义。在改革开放的今天,无论是从国际关系理论,还是从保证国家安全的角度来看,我们都应该重视国际恐怖主义问题,并对其进行深入的研究和探讨。     

国际恐怖与反恐怖斗争态势的变化

恐怖势力借助当前国际社会存在的诸多矛盾与冲突,不断调整其组织结构,采用多变的袭击方式与手段,使国际社会处于防不胜防困境.一些国家为确保本土免遭恐怖袭击,几乎倾力防范,但恐怖威胁仍有增无减.对整个国际社会而言,制约国际反恐合作的诸多因素,如双重标准等尤其亟待解决.     

美国反恐政策的演变

自20世纪六七十年代以来,美国反恐政策经历了从早期否定性威慑到里根时期惩罚性威慑及至后冷战时期预防性攻击的演变.美国反恐行动的力度虽然日渐加大,但它面临的反恐任务依然艰巨.     

加强国际合作 共创和平繁荣——在第五次亚太和平裁军共生会议上的主旨发言

值此第五次亚太和平裁军共生会议在冲绳召开之际，我谨代表我和我的同事向会议表示热烈祝贺，对日本委员会和冲绳朋友们的周到安排和热情款待表示衷心感谢，向出席此次会议的各国政治家和专家、学者致以问候。     

论恐怖主义新发展及其对国际关系格局演变的影响

新世纪伊始 ,在和平与发展的时代主流推动下 ,全球战略格局继续向纵深演进。与此同时 ,世界各种矛盾不断交织、碰撞、激化带来的不稳定、不确定因素相对有所上升 ,特别是以“9·11”事件为标志的恐怖主义新发展对国际政治、经济、军事和安全形势的影响重要而深刻。但是 ,国际关系格局没有因此发生根本性改变 ,多极化进程继续在曲折中发展 ,整个国际形势依然呈现总体上和平、缓和、稳定 ,并伴随局部战乱、紧张和动荡的基本态势。我国应根据国际反恐领域的新动向 ,制定有利于我国和国际社会最大安全利益的应对方案和措施 ,积极参与反恐斗争的进程。     

大事综览

2001年9月大事,各方有如下反应: 一、江泽民访问朝鲜。3至5日,江泽民总书记应邀访问朝鲜并与金正日总书记会谈,就中朝关系在新世纪的进一步发展以及共同关心的重大国际问题深入地交换了意见,取得了广泛共识。江泽民还会见金永南委员长和洪成南总理。3日朝鲜《劳动新闻》发表社论指出,江泽民访朝将使朝中友谊在新世纪进一步得到巩固和发展。英国《金融时报》3日发表文章认为,江泽民的访问是希望在“美中首脑会晤之前加强中国对美国的影响。”日本《东京新闻》4日刊登评述认为:江泽民访朝意味着中国全面完成近邻外交;朝鲜完成了“中俄朝”三国协调工作。外国媒体还普遍注意到在江泽民访朝之际,韩朝均表示恢复对话意愿。美国《洛杉矶时报》3日刊登文章指出:虽然“估计江泽民将敦促朝鲜恢复与韩国之间的接触,而平壤希望向全世界表明是它主动采取这一政策改变的”。     

“New Particles” of the Changing World Situation

The world situation, as always complicated and volatile, has seen some “new particles” after the war on Iraq. This is a special war that has affected the whole world. The course and consequences of the war have exemplified the fever pitch of the U.S. unilateralism and the heavy cost thus paid by the U.S. They have also resulted in the changes of relations between major powers,

美国与核恐怖主义的安全化

冷战后、尤其是"9·11"后,核恐怖主义威胁日益上升,美国政府通过对核恐怖主义的安全化操作获得了相当的特殊权力.通过对特殊权力的运用,布什政府较为成功地发展出一套层次性防御措施.但与此同时,美过度运用安全化逻辑导致了对假想敌的塑造,使其在伊拉克及伊核、朝核问题上陷入困境.这甚至也可能在一定程度上影响2008年美国总统大选结果.     

美国国家安全战略调整与新世纪初的国际关系

美国国家安全战略的调整已是近几年来国际上最热门的话题。美国大幅调整国家安全战略牵动了新世纪初国际关系的变化。 美国国家安全战略调整与新保守主义思潮的兴起密切相关。美不少学者认为,随着伊拉克局势的恶化,新保守主义思潮在衰退,对美政府的影响在下降。这到底对美国安全战略将会产生何种影响,我们还需观察。 依赖军事优势“先发制人”,虽可攻城略地,但不会根除威胁,更无法赢得人心,反而会使国际关系紧张,造成世界局势动荡。 在新世纪的国际关系中,实现和平与发展的有利条件和不利条件相互交织,积极因素和消极因素相互转化,形成了一种机遇与挑战对立统一的辩证关系。面对这种复杂局面,国际社会应牢牢抓住和平与发展的时代主题,顺应合作与进步的历史潮流,坚持多边主义,加强国际合作,维护共同安全,实现共同发展。

Vicissitudes of U. S. Power

Five years have passed since the events of 9/11. If one reviews the main developments and the impact on world politics since then,the most prominent area for analysis would be the successful--and unsuccessful--changes in U. S. national security strategy and its major foreign policies, and the relative rise and fall of U. S. global power. There have also been other equally important developments.In particular, international and cross-national politics possess new features and complexities on account of conspicuous terrorist threats and the social/political turbulence in most of the Muslim world.     

试析美国国土安全政策的变化与影响

早在“9·11事件”前 ,美国国内就对其国土安全面临的包括恐怖袭击在内的各种新型安全威胁进行过广泛讨论 ,并采取了一定的措施加以应对。“9·11事件”进一步证实了美国国土安全所面临威胁的真实性和严重性 ,并促使其大幅度调整国家安全战略 ,将保卫国土安全作为一项中心任务而加以战略规划。这一调整对美国的影响是巨大的 ,值得长期关注和重视。     

世界新格局与国际安全

世纪之交,世界正处于向新格局转变的关键时期。随着冷战后国际形势和国际安全环境的巨变,与冷战时期截然不同的新安全观应运而生。国际普遍安全的目标既面临难得的机遇与也面临严峻的挑战,国际社会须共同努力建立基于新安全观的公正合理的国际新秩序。
