关于苏伊士运河危机的著作很多，但学术界对解决苏伊士运河危机的过程关注较少。本文认为，在美国和联合国的支持下，英国成功地争取到了埃及相当多的让步。在英国同意从运河地区撤军之前，美国人一直对英国人怀有敌意，他们带头努力让埃及人在运河重新开放的谈判中让步。与流行的观点相反，即英国在国际压力下遭受了政治失败，本文认为，英国说服美国默认这一事实上的安排是因为运河的经济价值。联合国驻埃及部队的部署给埃及主权带来了一定程度的耻辱。由于纳赛尔在中东事务中的影响力受到遏制，英国选择了与埃及达成务实的协议，而不是运河。
There have been a great number of works on the Suez Crisis, but scarce academic attention has been paid to the process whereby its settlement was achieved. This paper argues that Britain succeeded in securing fairly sufficient Egyptian concessions with support from the US and the UN. The Americans, who had been hostile to the British prior to their agreement to withdraw troops from the Canal Zone, led the effort to make the Egyptians concede during negotiations on the Canal’s reopening. Contrary to the prevailing argument that Britain suffered a political defeat because of international pressure, this paper argues that Britain persuaded the US to acquiesce to the de facto arrangement because of the Canal’s economic value. The deployment of the UNEF brought a certain level of humiliation to Egyptian sovereignty. As Nasser’s influence in Middle Eastern affairs was contained, Britain chose a pragmatic deal with Egypt over the Canal.
