16基辛格
16.Kissinger
亨利·基辛格(HenryKissinger,1923-),美国著名国际政治学家、外交家和国务活动家。
生于德国,因纳粹迫害而移民美国,第二次世界大战结束后进入哈佛大学,1954年获哲学博士学位,后执教于哈佛大学,同时兼任美国半官方的对外关系委员会研究部主任和美国国务院、国防部、军备控制与裁军署、国家安全委员会顾问。
1969-1977年相继任总统国家安全事务助理和国务卿。
基辛格于1957年出版了两本立身之作《重建的世界:
梅特涅、卡斯尔雷与和平问题(1812-1822)》(AWorldRestored:
Metternich,CastlereaghandtheProblemsofPeace,1812-1822)和《核武器与对外政策》(NuclearWeaponandForeignPolicy)。
前者研究了19世纪初期欧洲政治家和外交家重建均势和国际体系的各种谋划与努力,基辛格在其中不仅考察了国际政治结构与外交政策的关系,而且分析了意识形态在国际关系中的作用;他提出,以秘密谈判和军事实力为基础的外交政策,其目标不仅仅是和平,而应当是一个更为宏大的和平结构,和平只能是稳定的国际秩序的副产品。
后者是对艾森豪威尔政府大规模报复战略进行反思的产物,它基本否定了以核大战为最终目标的大规模报复战略,提出了有限核战争的概念。
基辛格由此成为知名的军事战略家和外交政策权威。
基辛格入阁后,以均势思想和有限核战争理论为指导,在美苏中三大国中纵横捭阖,结束越南战争,推动中东和平进程,并于1973年获诺贝尔和平奖。
基辛格退出政坛后仍从事国际关系和外交政策研究,并于1994年出版了新作《大外交》(Diplomacy)。
该书以均势外交为主线,回顾了500年来的重大国际事件,深刻剖析了叱咤于国际舞台的外交家思想轨迹及其作为,这也是作者心路历程的写照。
本篇选自《大外交》,体现了基辛格一贯的外交思想,认为未来的世界秩序应建立在均势的基础之上。
