2025年11月份,美国公布了新版的国家安全战略《National Security Strategy》。 引用Emily Harding的评论内容:
# The National Security Strategy: The Good, the Not So Great, and the Alarm Bells
This [National Security Strategy](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf) (NSS) marks an ideological and substantive shift in U.S. foreign policy. The administration is attempting to define a new “America First” foreign policy doctrine that is deeply pragmatic, and perhaps short-sighted. For example, the democracy agenda is clearly over. Foreign policy choices will be made based on what makes the United States more powerful and prosperous. That’s fair, and clearly what the American people voted for, but today’s self-interested choices may lead to a far lonelier, weaker, more fractured future. This is a truly pivotal moment in the way the world works.
This NSS is a real, painful, shocking wake-up call for Europe. It is a moment of cavernous divergence between Europe’s view of itself and Trump’s vision for Europe. If Europe had any doubt that the Trump administration is fully committed to a tough love strategy, it now knows for sure. The administration is asking—demanding, really—that Europe polices its own part of the world and, most importantly, pays for it itself. The most worrying parts of the strategy are the ones that chastise Europe for losing its European character. The sentiment behind the words seems to stoke fear of migrants and an adherence to an idealized, old-world Europe that is questionable at best. Modern Europe is vibrant, evolving, and—largely—pretty happy. The majority of Europe’s reaction to this NSS is likely to be the same aghast shock as met Vice President JD Vance’s Munich [speech](https://securityconference.org/assets/02_Dokumente/01_Publikationen/2025/Selected_Key_Speeches_Vol._II/MSC_Speeches_2025_Vol2_Ansicht_gek%C3%BCrzt.pdf).
China will love two parts of this strategy and hate the rest. Beijing will love the explicit declaration that the U.S. preference is noninterference in other nations’ affairs and the clear statement about respecting states’ sovereignty. That may assuage Chinese fears that the United States seeks to undermine regime stability. They will hate the calls for them to get out of Latin America and the robust approach to deterrence, both necessary and excellent policy positions. Overall, the Pacific section is strong.
#### Pragmatic Without Pragmatism
An “America First” foreign policy has arrived. The [key line](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf): “President Trump’s foreign policy is pragmatic without being ‘pragmatist,’ realistic without being ‘realist,’ principled without being ‘idealistic,’ muscular without being ‘hawkish,’ and restrained without being ‘dovish.’ It is not grounded in traditional, political ideology. It is motivated above all by what works for America—or, in two words, ‘America First.’”
Two elements of the strategy highlight this approach most starkly—the language on economic growth and the clear end of the democracy strategy.
On economic growth, the clear logic is that the United States needs to succeed in trade to be strong at home, and strength at home will empower future wins abroad. That is right, but the question of how to build those more prosperous trade relationships is where ideas meet policy. The strategy points to reindustrialization, a strong defense industrial base, and securing critical minerals and resources. This is all right and good—the “how” is the hard part. U.S. businesses should be deeply encouraged by the explicit [call](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-National-Security-Strategy.pdf) for “closer collaboration between the U.S. Government and the American private sector.” Importantly, the president just tasked every ambassador to serve as a champion for American business: “All our embassies must be aware of major business opportunities in their country, especially major government contracts. Every U.S. Government official that interacts with these countries should understand that part of their job is to help American companies compete and succeed.”
The outlook is far darker for democracy, however. The administration has seemingly decided that pushing for democratic reforms is quite low on its list of priorities. It is a “nice to have,” rather than a vision for creating a more peaceful world with an empowered, independent citizenry. For example, in Latin America, the strategy says the United States will “reward and encourage the region’s governments, political parties, and movements broadly aligned with our principles and strategy,” then it follows with an enormous but: “But we must not overlook governments with different outlooks with whom we nonetheless share interests and who want to work with us.” The Africa section says, “For far too long, American policy in Africa has focused on providing, and later on spreading, liberal ideology.”
This is likely a “woke” reference but also has implications for democracy programming. Finally, in the section on the Middle East, regional monarchs will be very pleased to read the following: The United States will drop “America’s misguided experiment with hectoring these nations—especially the Gulf monarchies—into abandoning their traditions and historic forms of government. We should encourage and applaud reform when and where it emerges organically, without trying to impose it from without.” If the very Millennial-generation idea of “you do you” were a foreign policy, it has fully emerged in this NSS. Despots will get no U.S. pressure, as long as we can work together. It is worth pointing out that the Reagan administration was also willing to work with unsavory regimes, but toward an ideological and deeply necessary end: defeating communism. The Trump administration’s end goal is prosperity.
#### China on Notice
This NSS will simultaneously reassure and disquiet China. The reassurance comes in the form of promises not to intervene in other nations’ affairs and to respect national sovereignty, both of which are perennial talking points for Beijing, Moscow, Tehran, Pyongyang, and others who loathe U.S. lectures on democratic reform.
The strategy also rightfully calls out the failures of previous China policies. The critique is tough, but largely fair, with the benefit of hindsight: “President Trump single-handedly reversed more than three decades of mistaken American assumptions about China: namely, that by opening our markets to China, encouraging American business to invest in China, and outsourcing our manufacturing to China, we would facilitate China’s entry into the so-called ‘rulesbased international order.’ This did not happen.” However, this is far less fair, and is more of a cheap shot: “elites—over four successive administrations of both political parties—were either willing enablers of China’s strategy or in denial.” Policymakers had to at least try to work with China, view its rise with optimism, and try to embed it in a prosperous, rules-based world. These attempts were, in hindsight, naive, but the United States had to try. China, sadly, did not reciprocate U.S. goodwill, and the United States has learned its lesson.
Beijing will be far less sanguine about the clarion declaration of a new Monroe Doctrine, with the corresponding call for China to get out of Latin America: “The United States must be preeminent in the Western Hemisphere as a condition of our security and prosperity.... The terms of our alliances, and the terms upon which we provide any kind of aid, must be contingent on winding down adversarial outside influence—from control of military installations, ports, and key infrastructure to the purchase of strategic assets broadly defined.”
#### Europe’s Wake-Up Call
The NSS is blatantly derisive toward Europe. There is little in the strategy to give comfort to European allies, and the tone and substance bear much similarity to Vice President Vance’s speech at the Munich Security Conference earlier this year. Capitals across Europe will be deeply concerned by what they see here. In the category of expected and largely correct is this: “The days of the United States propping up the entire world order like Atlas are over. We count among our many allies and partners dozens of wealthy, sophisticated nations that must assume primary responsibility for their regions and contribute far more to our collective defense.” U.S. leaders have called on Europe to do more to burden share in NATO for decades. This NSS definitively ends the encouraging and cajoling and exercises tough love.
Far more concerning, however, is the NSS chastising Europe for cultural decline. This is particularly ironic, given the rest of the document’s profession that it will not criticize monarchs or interfere in other nations’ sovereign affairs. It also has a stark undertone of anti-migrant sentiment. For example, it complains about “the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure,” citing “activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.” This should give even President Trump’s most fervent supporters pause. Not only does it misread Europe’s current state, but it leans hard into far-right wing political parties’ talking points. It further suggests that part of the reason for strife with Russia is Europe’s lack of self-confidence, which will come as music to Putin’s ears and nails on a chalkboard for Brussels. The NSS says, “as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, European relations with Russia are now deeply attenuated, and many Europeans regard Russia as an existential threat.” That’s because it is an existential threat, Mr. President. Look no further than Russia’s increasingly aggressive strategy of hybrid warfare across the continent.
#### Conclusion
The rhetoric in the NSS is deeply troubling and over-the-top in places. For example, this paragraph vacillates between blithe and burning: “Stopping regional conflicts before they spiral into global wars that drag down whole continents is worthy of the Commander-in-Chief’s attention, and a priority for this administration. A world on fire, where wars come to our shores, is bad for American interests. President Trump uses unconventional diplomacy, America’s military might, and economic leverage to surgically extinguish embers of division between nuclear-capable nations and violent wars caused by centuries-long hatred.” It is unclear how one surgically extinguishes embers of division. But peace is far better than war. War is indeed hell. The world prospers when it is at peace and working together on global challenges. The last half-century has demonstrated that a strong U.S. presence furthers those goals of peace and prosperity, and President Trump himself has furthered the cause of peace with energy and determination. These efforts must not be one-and-done, however.
It is worthwhile to pay appropriate short-term costs for the long-term gain of Pax Americana. Those costs are investments—in security, open trade, democracy, and alliances. Losing sight of these underpinnings of global peace will not make America First; it will make America weak.

组织系统诊断报告: 美国联邦政府 (2025 特朗普政府)
议题:美国外交政策向“极致美国优先”的战略转型 (2025 NSS)
议题说明: 2025年发布的《国家安全战略》(NSS) 标志着美国外交政策发生断裂式转型。官方叙事从“民主灯塔与全球秩序维护者”转向“交易型实用主义与狭义国家利益”。这一转变不仅是对拜登政府的反动,更是对冷战后美国两党建制派外交传统的彻底否定。
执行摘要 (Executive Summary)
- 核心诊断: 2025年特朗普政府展现出典型的 “收缩型霸权 (Retracting Hegemon)” 系统原型。其 [ORBIT: I-资源焦虑] 与 [PRISM: B-零和博弈] 形成了强烈的正反馈回路。面对 [T-多极化混乱] 的外部压力,美国选择主动卸载“全球系统维护成本”,将战略重心从“秩序维护”收缩为“双边利益榨取”。
- 外部系统 (ORBIT) 概要: 作为一个相对实力下降但仍具绝对破坏力的霸权,美国正试图通过**“权力货币化”**(将安全承诺明码标价)来缓解国内资源枯竭的压力,重新定义其在全球生态位中的角色。
- 内部系统 (PRISM) 概要: 官方话语彻底抛弃了“自由国际主义”的道德外衣,转而拥抱一种**“商业民族主义”**叙事。其核心心智模型是“世界是霍布斯式的丛林,美国是被占便宜的巨人”。
- 核心系统张力: [R-维护全球领导地位的惯性] 与 [I-国内选民对通过经济繁荣实现自我救赎的渴望] 之间的不可调和性。
诊断一:ORBIT组织透镜分析 (外部环境与系统动力)
-
O - 组织生态位 (Organizational Position):
- [生态位角色: 秩序不再的套利者] 美国不再试图维持其作为全球公共产品(如航行自由、全球安全网)唯一提供者的“Atlas(阿特拉斯)”角色。相反,它正在转型为利用现有优势地位进行非对称套利的超级大国。
- [权力基础: 存量霸权] 依靠美元体系、庞大的军事存量和科技壁垒,而非通过建立新共识或软实力来维持地位。
-
R - 战略使命 (Role & Responsibility):
- [核心使命: 内部繁荣复兴] 战略的首要任务从“外部安全”内卷回“国内经济复兴”。外交政策被降级为服务于国内再工业化和中产阶级收入增长的工具(Role Reversal)。
- [成功度量: 交易损益表] 衡量外交成功的标准不再是盟友数量或民主指数,而是具体的双边贸易逆差缩减额、军费分担比例和回流的制造业岗位数。
-
B - 主导逻辑 (Bias & Blindspots):
- [战略视野: 极度短期主义] 系统性地偏好短期可见的经济收益(如关税收入、军购合同),而系统性地折现长期战略投资(如联盟信誉、国际法治)的价值。
- [认知偏见: 受害者叙事] 坚信现有的国际秩序是“精英设计来剥削美国”的阴谋,因此破坏这一秩序不仅是合理的,而且是正义的。
-
I - 组织动机 (Interest & Incentive):
- [核心利益: 资源回流] 迫切需要停止向外部输血(对外援助、驻军成本),将资源重新导向国内基建和减税,以安抚核心选民基础(MAGA Base)。
- [核心规避: 卷入无利可图的战争] 极度规避被“搭便车”的盟友拖入与美国核心经济利益无关的地区冲突。
-
T - 系统张力 (Threat & Tension):
- [T-国内政治极化] 内部合法性危机迫使政府必须在短期内通过激进的外交姿态(如对盟友征税)来向选民“表演”力量,以维持执政基础。
- [T-地缘政治多极化] 面对中俄等国的挑战,美国感到维持单极霸权的成本已超过收益,因此选择“甩包袱”,试图通过制造混乱或双边交易来维持优势,而非承担系统性责任。
-
环境诊断小结: 美国正在玩一种危险的**“变现游戏”**。它正在耗在过去70年积累的战略信誉(软资产),以换取短期的经济输血(硬资产)。这是一种典型的“去杠杆”行为,通过收缩资产负债表来规避破产风险,但同时也意味着主动放弃了系统的控制权。

诊断二:PRISM文化解码分析 (内部话语与文化基因)
-
诊断摘要: 为了将激进的收缩战略合理化,2025 NSS 构建了一套**“反建制实用主义”**的话语体系。它通过将“理想主义”污名化为“软弱”,将“利己主义”重构为“诚实”,成功地在内部重塑了美国外交的道德罗盘。其核心叙事是:以前的总统都在撒谎,只有现在我们在做生意。
-
模块分析详情:
-
模块一:官方话语与组织情绪:
- [情绪倾向: 愤怒后的冷酷] 文本充满了对过去政策(“被占便宜”)的愤怒,以及对未来决策(“只谈利益”)的冷酷理性。
- [话语特征: 去道德化] 大量剥离了“人权”、“民主”、“自由”等传统外交辞令,取而代之的是“繁荣”、“主权”、“力量”、“交易”等商业和霍布斯式词汇。
-
模块二:战略叙事与论证解构:
- [核心主张: 必须自私] 论证逻辑是:因为世界是残酷的,且盟友是不知感恩的,所以美国“被迫”回归自私是唯一的生存之道。
- [论证结构: 稻草人谬误] 系统性地攻击前任政府的政策是“幼稚的理想主义”,从而将任何形式的国际责任都等同于“出卖国家利益”。
-
模块三:组织文化解码:
- [主导逻辑: 零和博弈] 坚信全球财富总量和安全总量是有限的,他国的获益(即便是盟友)必然意味着美国的损失。[PRISM: 价值观-交易至上] 取代了传统的联盟承诺。
- [核心隐喻: 保护费模式] 将国际关系简化为黑帮式的保护关系——“你付钱,我提供安全;你不付钱,后果自负。”
- [文化基因: 杰克逊主义 (Jacksonianism)] 复活了安德鲁·杰克逊式的民粹民族主义:对外部世界不仅不信任,而且持有一种带有荣誉感的蔑视;只在自身受到直接侮辱或攻击时才进行毁灭性反击,否则倾向于孤立。
-
模块四:组织利益与立场分析:
- [真实意图: 选票绑架外交] 外交政策的首要受众不再是外国领导人,而是国内的蓝领阶层。对欧洲的羞辱和对拉美的强硬,本质上是给国内基本盘看的“政治爽文”。
- [立场: 有条件的主权尊重] 对非民主政体(如海湾君主国、甚至中国)表示尊重主权,以此换取对方不干涉美国行事,这是典型的交易型立场。
-
模块五:组织视角与系统性盲点:
- [共享假设: 力量永恒] 假设即使美国破坏了规则和信任,世界各国仍将别无选择,只能继续依赖美国、购买美国国债、使用美元。
- [盲点: 真空效应] 忽视了当美国从欧洲和中东撤出“软实力”和“道德权威”后,留下的权力真空极易被竞争对手(中国、俄罗斯)以“更可靠的伙伴”形象填补,而非仅仅是混乱。
-
-
文化诊断小结: 这是一种**“防御性自恋”**的组织文化。它既极度自信(相信美国力量不可或缺),又极度脆弱(认为全世界都在占美国便宜)。这种文化导致美国在处理国际关系时,丧失了共情能力和战略耐心,只能理解赤裸裸的力量交换。

最终综合研判与系统性洞察
1. 核心驱动回路 (Core Driving Loop): “怨恨-收缩”增强回路
美国外交政策的转型并非突发奇想,而是由于以下系统回路的长期强化:
- 输入端: 国内经济不平等加剧 + 全球化导致的产业空心化 -> 产生庞大的反全球化选民群体。
- 处理端: 政治企业家(如特朗普)利用这种怨恨,构建**“外部剥削叙事”**(盟友和对手都在偷窃我们)来获取权力。
- 输出端: 推行**“收缩与榨取”**外交政策(NSS 2025),通过对盟友施压和贸易保护来短期回馈选民。
- 反馈: 这种政策导致盟友离心、国际秩序碎片化 -> 进一步恶化美国的外部环境 -> 这种恶化被再次解读为“世界对美国充满敌意”,从而强化了需要进一步孤立和强硬的理由。
2. 具体转型原因的系统性解构 (The "Why" Behind the Shift)
基于上述分析,美国战略转型的具体原因可以归纳为以下三个维度:
-
原因一:霸权成本收益倒挂 (The Cost-Benefit Inversion)
- 分析: 在冷战时期,美国承担全球安全成本的收益是巨大的(包括铸币税、市场准入、政治服从)。但随着全球经济多极化,美国发现维持驻军和航行自由的边际成本急剧上升,而边际收益(主要被搭便车的盟友和作为竞争对手的中国获取)在下降。
- 结论: 这是一个理性的止损操作。2025 NSS 本质上是一份**“破产重组方案”**,试图剥离不良资产(昂贵的民主推广、无休止的战争),保留核心资产(本土市场、高精尖技术)。
-
原因二:国内社会契约的断裂 (The Collapse of Domestic Social Contract)
- 分析: 传统外交政策(自由国际主义)的前提是美国中产阶级能从全球化中获益。这一前提已不复存在。当美国腹地(Rust Belt)的选民认为华盛顿的精英更关心乌克兰的边界而不是亚利桑那的边界时,旧战略的国内政治基础就彻底崩塌了。
- 结论: 外交政策成为了国内阶级斗争的延伸。转型是为了安抚国内愤怒的被遗忘阶层,是对“精英全球主义”的政治清算。
-
原因三:对“历史终结”幻觉的彻底破灭 (Disillusionment with "End of History")
- 分析: 过去30年,美国曾天真地认为通过接触(Engagement)可以同化中国和俄罗斯。现实的打脸导致了认知的钟摆摆向另一个极端——从“试图改变世界”变成了“防御世界的改变”。
- 结论:这是一种认知修正后的过度矫枉。美国从一个自信的传教士,变成了一个警惕的守夜人。不再寻求同化对手,只求物理隔绝和实力压制。
3. 系统性风险 (房间里的大象)
- 自我实现的预言: 美国预设“世界是丛林”,并通过破坏规则将世界真的变成了丛林。在丛林中,虽然猛兽(美国)依然强大,但它也将失去文明社会(基于规则的秩序)所能提供的所有低成本交易和安全保障。
- 盟友的核扩散风险: 当NSS明确表示“不再做阿特拉斯”且要求盟友“自我负责”时,日、韩、甚至欧洲国家最理性的选择不再是向美国交保护费,而是发展独立的核威慑能力。这将导致美国最不想看到的全球安全环境极度恶化。
4. 战略性问题 (Strategic Questions)
- “当所有交易都是双边的、且基于短期利益时,美国如何应对像气候变化、大流行病或人工智能监管这样需要长期、多边信任机制的公地悲剧问题?”
- “如果‘美国优先’意味着美国不再为全球资本提供‘政治安全’的溢价,美元作为全球储备货币的地位还能维持多久?一旦美元霸权动摇,美国债务驱动的经济模式将如何存续?”
