In the heady aftermath of the Cold War, American policymakers pronounced one
of the fundamental concepts of geopolitics obsolete. Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice described a new world "in which great power is defined not
by spheres of influence or the strong imposing their will on the weak."
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that "the United States does not
recognize spheres of influence." Secretary of State John Kerry proclaimed
that "the era of the Monroe Doctrine is over," ending almost two centuries of
the United States staking claim to its own sphere of influence in the Western
Hemisphere.
冷战的胜利使美国决策者冲昏了头脑,他们宣称地缘政治的一个基本概念已经过时。2008
年前国务卿康朵丽莎‧莱斯描述了一个“不以势力范围定义强国”的新世界。2010年前国
务卿希拉里‧克林顿宣布“美国不承认势力范围。”2013年,前国务卿约翰‧克里正式宣
告“门罗主义时代已经落幕”,为美国将西半球划归自身势力范围的将近两百年画上了句
号。
Such pronouncements were right in that something about geopolitics had
changed. But they were wrong about what exactly it was. U.S. policymakers had
ceased to recognize spheres of influence
