摘要

During the decade between the end of the Cold War and the 11 September attacks, America's Africa policy was more about political and ethical values than strategic interests. In 1992, a lame-duck President George H.W. Bush bet that humanitarian intervention in Somalia would help to establish a kinder, gentler 'new world order'. It didn't pay off, and made the Clinton administration gun-shy about intervening in Rwanda, where timely major-power action might have prevented the genocide. During the latter part of the 1990s, the United States handled instability in West African states mainly with measured participation in an international campaign against illicit 'blood diamonds'. By denying destabilising elements the source of their lucre, this effort facilitated UN-managed political reconstruction and relative peace in Sierra Leone and Liberia, but hardly constituted full-fledged engagement. Washington's response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic was (and remains) founded in humanitarian concern, not strategic alarm.
