圍堵思維與遠東地區冷戰脈絡的開展

圍堵思維緣起於戰後的蘇聯對外採全面擴張政策，挑戰既有的國際秩序，使得戰爭期間美、英、蘇三國所建構的同盟體制，再也無法靠協商解決三國之間的爭議。此時應時而生的圍堵思維因不主張強硬對決，又能適時發揮美國優勢，故即刻成為美國外交的主流論述。

The notion of containment originated from the comprehensive expansionism by the Soviet Union after World War II, which challenged the existing international order, and made it impossible for the alliance system established by the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union during the war to resolve disputes among them through negotiation. The notion of containment that emerged at this time immediately became the mainstream discourse of U.S. diplomacy, because it did not advocate tough confrontation and took U.S.’s advantages at the right time. This article aims to explore the interactive relationship between the containment ideology and the development of the Cold War layout in the Far East.
