地域大国としての地位の重要`性

一対照的事例としての米中関係 ハダド・ミハル

要旨

この論文は,修士論文のために私が提出した仮説Iの実証を補強することを目的とする。こ の仮説は,地域大国の地位が同盟結成の決定的な要因であるというもので,修士論文では米国 の日本との同盟をそれによって説明した。本論文では,中国と米国との関係を対照的事例とし て説明する。戦争直後に,米中の関係は,中国の弱さ,不安定さのために同盟を形成しない場 合となった。50年代には,米国はアジアで中国をその主な敵とみなした。次第に米国は,中国 の勢力を見直すようになり,60年代には中国を地域大国として見るようになった。ベトナム戦 争は,米国に中国と国交を結ぶ必要性を確信させた。

We show that a discrete fixed point theorem of Eilenberg is equivalent to the restriction of the contraction principle to the class of non-Archimedean bounded metric spaces.. We
