冷战后马美关系的发展变化

冷战后马美关系的发展主要经历三个阶段:一是1997年金融危机爆发前,马来西亚围绕着区域经济开放与自由化等问题与美国较量,两国关系日趋紧张;二是金融危机爆发后,马来西亚和美国政要围绕危机爆发原因、是否接受IMF援助,特别是围绕“安瓦尔事件”展开了激烈的交锋,两国关系降到冰点;三是布什总统上台后,特别是“9·11事件”后两国在反恐问题上有所合作,关系逐渐缓和。冷战后马来西亚对美国的态度以及马美关系的发展变化,是马来西亚对当时美国亚太政策的做出的反应,马哈蒂尔本人的外交风格使这种反应更为激烈,但并不是马美关系发展变化的决定因素。

Civil Society Perspectives on Humanitarian Intervention

This article explores the multiple roles played by civil society actors in relation to policy debates relating to whether to advocate or oppose humanitarian intervention under a variety of specific circumstances or in general. There is no consistent civil society viewpoint, but rather a range of disagreements relating to whether there exists a genuine imminent threat of humanitarian catastrophe, whether the political will exists to intervene in a manner that protects a threatened population, and whether a reliance on force for humanitarian ends should ever be supported in the absence of a mandate from the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Most civil society voices prefer to assess each case on its own rather than to be for or against humanitarian intervention as a general proposition. A consensus would look favourably upon humanitarian intervention endorsed by the UNSC. The problems arise where such an endorsement is not obtainable. The NATO War of 1999 to safeguard the endangered Albanian population of Kosovo illustrates the positive case for humanitarian intervention as there appeared to be an imminent threat and there existed a sufficient political will to make it seem likely that an intervention could attain its goals. The absence of support from the UNSC in this instance was offset by the participation by the UN after the fact in the work of economic and political reconstruction, although the precedent set by this use of non-defensive force has kept the Kosovo undertaking controversial. In contrast to Kosovo, civil society actors throughout the world generally rejected the claimed humanitarian justifications for the Iraq War. At this time civil society is split on the question as to whether ever to encourage humanitarian intervention undertaken absent a green light in advance from the UN.
