Conceiving U.S. Military Role in Southeast Asia in the age of Pivot

Abstract

亚太再平衡时期,军事及安全领域的长期合作正在逐步主导美国的东南亚军事任务设计。在对未来和平趋势的预期基础上,亚太再平衡阶段的美军任务日益重视防务合作、援助以及救灾等领域。通过强化美国与盟友及伙伴国在内的东南亚各国军事合作,推动东盟国家的力量整合,并确保美国军事力量的地区存在以及战时通道权。Resent overemphasis on both Air-Sea Battle and prospect of immediate conflict in Southeast Asia region may divert attention on another more cautious approach of the U.S.military role in Southeast Asia in the age of Pivot.In contrast with pro-conflict chaos of certain scholars,the significance of this approach is its stress on moderate and long-term military deliberation,particularly security and defense cooperation.Upon the approach's assumption on a relative peace situation in the near future,the U.S.military will consistently seek engagement with its existing allies and partners in military structure reform and various civil-military fields in order to bolster existing regional prestige and military presence of the U.S.The outcome of this effort will also contribute to build bridges to nascent regional partners.Ultimately with formation of a regional web of allies and partners,the U.S.military will strengthen its peace-time influence and ensure the safety of its access and military presence during regional conflict.教育部东南亚研究中心基地“东南亚宗教与政治历史与发展现状”项目(XK1015
