Readjustment of US national security strategy has been a hot topical issue over the last few years. The substantial
Readjustment
of US national security strategy has led to changes of
international relations at the beginning of the new century.
The
readjustment of US national security strategy is closed linked to the rise of neo-conservatism in the US. Many US scholars believe that given the deteriorating situation in Iraq, neo-conservative trend of thoughts is receding, and its influence on US government is declining. But how much this development will impact US national security strategy remains a question for exploration.
The doctrine of "pre-emption", which is based on military superiority, would help attack cities and seize territories. But it would not eradicate threats, nor will it win hearts and minds of other people. Con-trarily, it would increase tensions and cause instability in the world.
For the international relations in the new century, favorable conditions for world peace and stability are interwoven with unfavorable ones, creating a situation where negative factors and positive ones can be mutually transformed and opportunities and challenges constitute a dialectical unity of opposites. Faced with this complicated situation, the international community should firmly grasp the theme of the times of peace and development, conform to the historical trend of the times, uphold multilateralism, strengthen international cooperation and safeguard common security for common development.
