摘要

摘要里根政府不仅在敌对国家推行民主化,还向盟国威权政权施压,要求其改革,偶尔支持“软”政权更迭,以缓解对美国战略利益至关重要的国家的内部紧张局势。中层官员、自主民主推动者和关键决策者之间的融合最为富有成效,因为这些群体认为,如果没有政治干预,美国的利益将很脆弱。对现有政府的稳定性和合法性的评估影响了是否进行政权改革的判断,无论是通过在新的民主结构中保持现有精英的权力,还是通过寻求赋予反对派团体权力和促进新精英的崛起。对这种方法的批评是对我们理解里根政府对盟国政策的重要补充。

Reevaluating Democracy Promotion
Abstract The Reagan administration not only pursued democratization in hostile states but also pressured allied authoritarian regimes to reform and occasionally supported “soft” regime changes to defuse internal tensions in countries that were important for U.S. strategic interests. The convergence between mid-level officials, autonomous democracy promoters, and key policymakers was most fruitful when these groups believed that U.S. interests would be vulnerable without political intervention. Evaluations of the stability and legitimacy of the existing governments influenced judgments about whether to pursue regime reform, either by keeping the existing elites in power within new democratic structures or by seeking to empower opposition groups and facilitating the rise of new elites. A critique of this approach is an essential addition to our understanding of the Reagan administration’s policies vis-à-vis allied states.
