as a long-term at the top of the world’s only superpower, the United States has always been in the international community to provide public goods, the United States some of the strategists also as a “benevolent hegemon” and complacent. However, in recent years, especially “9 ? 11 incident”, the U.S. national interest seems more on the strength and the world, it becomes autocratic, selfish, international image has plummeted. This makes many people worry that the United States no longer have to understand, “altruism” that the United States, from the financial turmoil sweeping the occasion, many people can not help but worry that if a “benevolent hegemon” into a “selfish hegemony country “, the world will experience how the turmoil it?

emphasize pre-emptive democracy output, unilaterally announced its withdrawal from the “ABM Treaty”, refused to sign the “Kyoto Protocol” to the name of unwarranted occupation of Iraq, the killing of civilians, mistreatment of prisoners of war, passed the pressure of the domestic financial crisis … … the U.S. does not really responsible behavior Tingduo. History of irresponsible self-serving behavior on the United States are not uncommon. U.S. Congress passed the “Helms – Burton Act” to do business with Cuba sanctions, including all allies, including foreign enterprises; the Asian financial crisis, the U.S. self-interest requirements for Southeast Asian countries, the collapse of laissez-faire domestic small and medium banks; it had also to “say enough” excuse non-payment of UN dues; in the face of previous financial crises in the United States will pass the loss, the 1980 U.S. real estate bubble burst to become the biggest victim of Japan and therefore loss of more than $ 700 billion, equivalent to its exports to the U.S. in the 1980s, the total surplus. Even if the United States, some altruistic behavior than with a clear additional conditions, or include the self-interest can be estimated effect of Japanese aid to China, the establishment of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, the Marshall Plan, Africa, and so true.

This means that the current United States is not responsible or not responsible for the future is not unique to the history, present and future of the United States more than in the past is not necessarily selfish. Therefore, the so-called U.S. “benevolent hegemony will be a change in the role of the country” argument is a false proposition.

Meanwhile, the U.S. can not be completely turned down by its international obligations. This is primarily because the United States did not show subjective to give up the supremacy of the will, it is naturally understood to provide public goods is the basis for recognition of its legitimacy. Rice in July/August, “Foreign Affairs” magazine, wrote that, no matter how much the U.S. and its allies had differences, but they still need a confidence in the United States, because many of the world can not solve the problem of the lack of the United States. In Bush’s term, it does not lack the traditional sense of the altruistic nature of the international as. In the non-proliferation, to promote Middle East peace process, the global AIDS or anti-terrorism and other areas, positive action at the United States can benefit from the international community, therefore, the United States can not be generalized.

Moreover, the United States self-control has always been strong, once found that the existing policy problems, policy makers and participants will soon take the initiative to influence Bush’s second term in its unilateral policy a significant correction, many allies of the United States and the relationship has also been restored to the pre-war levels in Iraq, that the United States even if there will be a limit to self-indulgence.

determine the relationship between the United States and the world is the international situation and its national level, U.S. domestic politics play a more profound impact. Monroe system during the Cold War era of U.S. foreign and well-functioning system of the stage; and in other periods, the United States and the global system for its lack of a clear consensus on the relationship between the different factions in the leading position, this is the result of U.S. foreign policy uncertainty reasons.

In fact, the United States and the world has been in the running. After World War II the United States as the new king needs to run the world, Vietnam’s persistent lack of energy to make the United States had to run after the Cold War superpower dominance of the United States once again faced with run-in. But to adapt to the reality of running normal, vary greatly in size, as long as the international situation and the power balance of power is not stabilized, this will not stop running.

from domestic and international situation in some of the new features of the current United States is also running with the world, but the overall pattern of the world and none of the relative position of the United States changed significantly, so this run reflects The adjustment is only a tactical rather than strategic changes. In dealing with international issues, the United States will turn to the international coordination and global cooperation, because just as the Bush administration has proven, as to meet the self must also respect his country, to benefit everyone, this is the key to maintain its position. But this does not mean the U.S. will become more “humane”, when the financial tsunami hit, and we also have a better understanding, once threaten the core interests of the United States, the United States will still reveal their unkind side. This is America, not become a U.S. ▲ (The writer is the United States Institute of CASS scholars.)
