摘　　要：二战以来,美国的外交理念存在重大转向。冷战时期,自由是美国外交理念的核心,它根植于美国的历史文化传统,成为美国对抗苏联的旗帜。在此期间,美国以“自由世界”的领导者自居,采取经济援助、文化宣传、宗教运动等多种外交策略向世界输出“自由价值”,形成了“自由外交”的模式。冷战结束后,伴随“参与和扩展”战略的出台,美国的外交理念逐渐由自由转向民主,并且采取经济援助与制裁、文化宣传、政治渗透与军事干涉等多种策略输出民主价值和美式民主制度,形成了“民主外交”的模式。美国外交理念从自由转向民主,既与世界格局的变化有关,也与“第三波民主化浪潮”的出现、新保守主义势力的崛起等因素密不可分。The US has been engaged in and influenced international affairs following different ways of translating its diplomatic ideas.During the Cold War,freedom had been seen as the core of the American diplomatic ideas,being rooted in the American historical and cultural traditions.Actually,as early as the World War Ⅱ,the US had entered the war with the slogan“to achieve freedom”rather than“to defend civilization or democracy”.During the Cold War,the slogan of“freedom”had naturally and comprehensively been applied to the new struggle and became the banner of the US struggle against the Soviet Union.During this period,the US had been regarded as the leader of the Free World and adopted various strategies such as economic assistance,cultural propaganda and religious movements to export the value of freedom to the world,forming a model of the Free Diplomacy.However,this does not mean that the US had not exported democratic values to the world at this stage.Rather,freedom and democracy have always been important values of the American diplomacy.At the beginning of the Cold War,America had grafted the western democratic system to Japan and Germany.However,during the Cold War,the concept of freedom occupied a more central position in the discourse of the American diplomacy.It was not until the end of the cold war when democracy was rising to be adopted in the national strategy and thus became the core idea of the American diplomacy.With the introduction of the strategy of participation and expansion,the US has gradually adopted various strategies such as economic assistance and sanctions,cultural propaganda,political infiltration and military intervention to export democratic values and American democratic systems,forming a model of the Democratic Diplomacy.There are many reasons why American diplomatic ideas have witnessed a shift from freedom to democracy.After the cold war,in order to establish and maintain the US-dominant world order,it needs to establish the American democratic systems globally.While the th
