【摘要】：基于对福特政府亚太政策的分析,本文认为维护因越战失败而受到严重损害的美国国家信誉,是福特政府调整亚太政策的最重要推动因素之一。福特政府不仅在西贡倒台前就向国会争取给南越政权更多的援助,在西贡倒台之后,更是通过果断使用武力解决马亚圭斯事件、重申对亚太地区盟友的承诺来化解一些亚太国家对美国可能放弃盟友的担心和维持美国作为盟友和"自由世界"领袖的信誉。福特政府之所以拖延中美关系正常化的进程,也是因为担心调整与台湾的同盟关系会进一步损害美国在亚太盟友中的信誉。国家信誉实际上是一种无形资产,维护信誉的考量对整个冷战时期的美国对外政策都具有深刻影响,信誉与对外政策的关系值得学界进一步研究。
[Abstract]:Based on the analysis of Ford Administration's Asia-Pacific policy, this paper argues that maintaining the credibility of the United States, which was seriously damaged by the defeat of the Vietnam War, is one of the most important driving factors for the Ford Administration to adjust its Asia-Pacific policy. Not only did the Ford government ask Congress for more assistance to the South Vietnamese regime before the fall of Saigon, but after the fall of Saigon, it resolved the Mayaguez incident by decisive use of force. Renewed commitment to allies in the Asia-Pacific region to allay concerns among some Asia-Pacific countries that the United States may abandon its allies and maintain its credibility as an ally and leader of the "free world." The Ford administration's delay in normalizing relations with the United States also stemmed from fears that the realignment of its alliance with Taiwan would further undermine the credibility of the United States among its allies in the Asia-Pacific region. National reputation is actually an intangible asset. The consideration of maintaining reputation has a profound impact on American foreign policy during the Cold War, and the relationship between credibility and foreign policy is worthy of further study by academic circles.
