摘要
这篇文章将反共描述为一种灵活的、变色龙般的现象,在不同的国家,根据其具体的国内情况,表现出不同的伪装。历史学者记得荷兰和美国都强烈反对共产主义。然而,在20世纪50年代,荷兰官员将他们自己所谓的对共产主义的清醒态度与他们认为的对美国共产主义的情感反应进行了对比。根据荷兰驻华盛顿大使Herman van Roijen的私人信件以及他与海牙的互动,有人认为美国的红色恐慌(1947–54)让荷兰的政策制定者和外交官感到不安。跨大西洋联盟的最初阶段因盟友之间在地缘战略和预算问题上的分歧而变得复杂,但也因反共而变得复杂。反共暴露了欧洲和美国之间深刻的文化分歧,并从一开始就考验着盟友关系。
“Easily Emotional” and “Always Inclined to Extremes.” Ambassador Herman van Roijen and Dutch Anxiety about American Anti-Communism, 1947–53
This article presents anti-communism as a flexible, chameleon-like phenomenon that took on various guises in different countries, depending on their specific domestic circumstances. Historical scholarship remembers both the Netherlands and the United States as strongly anti-communist. However, in the 1950s Dutch officials contrasted their own supposedly sober-minded approach to communism with what they regarded as emotional responses to communism in America. Based on the private correspondence of Dutch ambassador in Washington, Herman van Roijen, and his interactions with The Hague, it is argued that the Red Scare in the United States (1947–54) unsettled Dutch policymakers and diplomats. The initial phase of the transatlantic alliance was complicated by disagreements between allies about geostrategy and budgetary questions, but also by anti-communism, which revealed a deep cultural divide between Europe and the United States and tested allied relations from the outset.
