摘要

今天,西方对使用武力的思考是由地缘政治变化、金融危机以及伊拉克和阿富汗行动的糟糕记忆所决定的。这篇文章认为,地缘政治变化要求欧洲考虑多极化的后果,以及新兴大国希望不受限制地获得原材料和能源以支持经济增长的趋势。此外,美国的东方再平衡、紧缩政策和“幕后领导”的概念都表明,欧洲必须能够在没有美国支持的情况下捍卫自己的重要利益。因此,欧洲需要一支全方位的部队,只有当各国从防务合作转向防务一体化时,这支部队才能持续下去。地方和地区冲突可能需要危机应对行动,以减轻人道主义苦难或捍卫不那么重要的欧洲利益。但伊拉克和阿富汗战争的惨痛记忆将对未来的军事行动产生相当大的影响。只有当欧洲的切身利益受到威胁时,各国才愿意开展大规模的稳定行动。当较小的利益受到威胁时,欧洲将放弃或限制其反应,使其发挥授权作用,支持地方或地区部队进行的反应行动。这一贡献的核心信息是,欧洲需要一支可以在没有美国支持的情况下部署的全方位部队;因此,欧洲应从防务合作转向防务一体化;在实际部署军队时,欧洲必须更好地平衡政治目标和军事手段。

The Future Use of Armed Force
Today, Western thinking about the use of force is determined by geopolitical change, the financial crisis and bad memories from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. This contribution argues that geopolitical change requires Europe to consider the consequences of multipolarity and the tendency for rising powers to want unrestricted access to raw materials and energy to support economic growth. In addition, America’s rebalancing to the East, a policy of retrenchment and the concept of ‘leading from behind’, all indicate that Europe must be able to defend its vital interests without American support. Consequently, Europe needs a full-spectrum force, which can only be sustained when nations move from defense cooperation to defense integration. Local and regional conflicts could require crisis response operations to relieve humanitarian suffering or to defend less critical European interests. But bad memories of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan will have a considerable impact on future operations. Only when Europe’s vital interests are at stake are states willing to carry out large-scale stabilization operations. When lesser interests are at stake, Europe will abstain or limit its response to an enabling role, supporting response operations carried out by local or regional forces. The core message of this contribution is that Europe needs a full spectrum force that can be deployed without U.S. support ; that Europe should therefore move from defense cooperation to defense integration ; and that when it comes to the actual deployment of its forces, Europe must better balance political objectives and military means.
