遏制之弧重铸了美国帝国在东南亚和东亚的历史

 

Arc of Containment: Britain, the United States, and Anticommunism in Southeast Asia (The United States in the World) Tapa dura – 15 Mayo 2019

遏制之弧重铸了美国帝国在东南亚和东亚的历史，从第二次世界大战到美国对越南的干预结束。抛开多米诺骨牌倒下的焦虑经典故事不谈，Wen-Qing Ngoei 阐述了一个新的区域历史，其前提是英美合作保证了强大的安全和可靠的遏制。

Ngoei 认为，东南亚的反共民族主义与当地先前存在的对中国和华人侨民的反感交织在一起，导致该地区从欧洲主导的殖民主义走向美国霸权。这一修正战略评估的核心是英国力量的地位、直接的新殖民军事力量的影响、基于几十年殖民统治的不那么明显的文化影响，以及东南亚参与者在整个英美帝国战略中的巨大影响。战后时期。

遏制弧线表明，美国在越南的失败所产生的长期后果没有人们普遍认为的那么严重，因为英国的亲西方民族主义早在 20 多年前就已经根深蒂固。Ngoei 认为，实际上，东南亚的冷战只是 20 世纪西方帝国主义在该地区的连续历史中的一个暴力篇章。

Arc of Containment recasts the history of American empire in Southeast and East Asia from World War II through the end of American intervention in Vietnam. Setting aside the classic story of anxiety about falling dominoes, Wen-Qing Ngoei articulates a new regional history premised on strong security and sure containment guaranteed by Anglo-American cooperation.

Ngoei argues that anticommunist nationalism in Southeast Asia intersected with preexisting local antipathy toward China and the Chinese diaspora to usher the region from European-dominated colonialism to US hegemony. Central to this revisionary strategic assessment is the place of British power and the effects of direct neocolonial military might and less overt cultural influences based on decades of colonial rule, as well as the considerable influence of Southeast Asian actors upon Anglo-American imperial strategy throughout the post-war period.

Arc of Containment demonstrates that American failure in Vietnam had less long-term consequences than widely believed because British pro-West nationalism had been firmly entrenched twenty-plus years earlier. In effect, Ngoei argues, the Cold War in Southeast Asia was but one violent chapter in the continuous history of western imperialism in the region in the twentieth century.
