他的政府上台后就自觉地在外交政策上采取了现实主义取向。总统和他的顾问嘲笑克林顿政府的多边主义只是形式，没有国家安全实质。他们将俄罗斯和中国视为主要的潜在威胁或危险来源，并认为比尔·克林顿是一个天真的理想主义者，因为他忽视了这些大国，而倾向于“将外交政策视为社会工作”——在与美国国家安全问题无关的领域开展人道主义事业。 1与对多边主义的现实主义怀疑和对自助的坚定信心相一致，政府在头几个月的主要外交政策项目是单方面追求弹道导弹防御。布什团队尤其批评美国参与为失败国家建设国家的堂吉诃德式努力。 2000 年 8 月，作为候选人的副总统迪克·切尼提出了一项重大的行动，当时他建议布什政府结束美国对北约波斯尼亚任务的参与。2 后来成为布什国家安全顾问的康多莉扎·赖斯对美国军队被用来送波斯尼亚儿童去幼儿园表示失望。3 信息很明确：布什政府不会参与国家建设工作。4
his administration came into oface with a self-consciously realist orientation in foreign policy. The president and his advisers derided the Clinton administration’s multilateralism as mere form without national security substance. They viewed Russia and China as the main potential threats or sources of danger, and regarded Bill Clinton as a naive idealist for neglecting these great powers in favor of “foreign policy as social work”—humanitarian ventures in areas peripheral to U.S. national security concerns.1 Consistent with a realist suspicion of multilateralism and conadence in self-help, the administration’s principal foreign policy project in its arst months was the unilateral pursuit of ballistic missile defense. The Bush team was particularly critical of U.S. participation in quixotic efforts at nation building for failed states. As a candidate, Vice President Dick Cheney created a signiacant oap in August 2000 when he suggested that the Bush administration would end U.S. participation in NATO’s Bosnia mission.2 Condoleezza Rice, who would become Bush’s national security adviser, expressed dismayed amazement that U.S. troops were being used to take children to kindergarten in Bosnia.3 The message was clear: The Bush administration would not engage in state-building efforts.4
