柯林敦與小布希時期的美國臺海政策：戰略模糊、戰略清晰與臺灣的新安全觀

The US Fuzzy and Clear Policy toward Taiwanese Strait and New Thinking of Security about Taiwan

美國的台海政策不但表現在「一中政策」的搖擺與模糊，在對中國大陸或對台灣的交往，亦有游移之處。本文以「戰略模糊」與「戰略清晰」作討論。其次，廿一世紀初，美國自「九一一事件」以來，國際間已在談論「美國霸權」衰落，故本文擬探討柯林敦與小布希這段時期的美國台海政策，這是美國從蘇聯瓦解後冷戰時代全球單極霸權走向衰微徵兆的關鍵時期。綜觀國際環境之下，依國家理性與利益極大化，台灣必須改變過去冷戰遺緒的傳統安全觀，並走向廿一世紀的新型安全觀，才是維護自身安全的最大保障。

The policy of Taiwanese Strait in America not only express upon the fuzzy One-China with vacillating but also it contact with Taiwan and China by the way of oscillating. This paper study it with “strategic obscurity ” and “strategic lucidness”. Next, in the beginning of 21 century, the international community discoursed the theme of American-hegemony-decline after the 911- incident. Thus, this paper intend to research the period of Clinton to Bush which are a crucial time from a global superpower down to the sign of downfall in coming of the Soviet collapsed. Under this international circumstance, the states behaves along the principle of rationality and maximum interest that the Taiwan must change the traditional security concept of the Cold-War as to adopt the new security concept of 21 century that will be the most protection to maintain the security itself.
