超越“三环”的努力：－麦克米伦政府对欧政策转折初探

麦克米伦的对欧政策之所以发生转折,是为了适应国际局势的变化和挑战,从而着手调整英国传统外交模式下的比重和次序,以维护不列颠的大国形象和地位,正是因为决策的出发点和关注点仍然未脱“三环”的窠臼,因而尽管麦克米伦在主观上作出超越传统“三环外交”模式的抉择,但在外交实践中还是兼顾既往的利益关系而不自觉地落入了俗套。由此可见,即使以灵活机动称的英国实用主义外交策略也一时难以应对传统事物对变革的固有影响。

Efforts of the Macmillan Government to Overstep the "Three-Circle"Policy Towards European Community

In order to adapt itself to the international changes and challenges and adjust the traditional foreign policy models and orders,Macmillan changed his policies towards Europe to defend Great Britain's image and position as a great nation.In practice,however,Macmillan still conformed to conventional pattern by which he paid much attention to the vested interest,although he personally tried to overstep the "Three circle" mode.All these happened because he still modeled the policy on the basis of "three circle" mode.Hence, the pragmatist foreign policies of Great Britain known for its flexibility can not get rid of the traditional influences on reform.
