中文摘要 | 本文探討美國未來核戰略對中國與台灣安全的影響。作者揚棄傳統「核子嚇阻」的觀念,而發展出一套分析架構對2001年美國「核子態勢評估」加以分析,這份報告將是未來美國核子武力與核戰略的指導方針。 美國「核子態勢評估」中主要包含攻擊的武器系統、飛彈防禦系統以及加強的核武基礎設施,這三大要素構成所謂新核武三元,取代傳統以陸基洲際飛彈、潛射洲際飛彈及戰略轟炸機所構成的舊核武三元。這種新戰略規劃的確使美國擁有更廣泛的軍事選項及更大的作戰彈性;但同時亦會引發核子風險。這種風險可能來自美中雙方的軍備競賽,危機不穩定性與先制攻擊。 因為任何美、中兩大核武國家的戰爭,都有可能導致核子武器的使用,進而引發核子戰爭,所以只要台灣一天持續成為美中軍事衝突的引爆點,這種核武風險將對台灣國家安全有負面的影響。美方的新核戰略與美台的軍事合作將導致中國採取更強勢的防衛政策,此時台灣的安全將因為缺乏美方清楚而堅定的防衛承諾而陷入危險。作者同時解釋美方「戰略模糊」的政策為何是一種戰略的謬誤,相對的,「戰略清晰」將會使台海的戰爭,甚至是核戰更有效的避免。 |
英文摘要 | This article explores the long-term impacts of the current U.S. nuclear strategy on China and Taiwan. Instead of traditional concept of “nuclear deterrence”, the author develops a framework for analysis of the U.S. nuclear strategy based on the Nuclear Posture Review 2002, which will determine U.S. nuclear forces planning over the next five to ten years. This nuclear strategy, which is composed of the offence strike systems, missile defense systems, and refined infrastructure, does provide the United States a wide spectrum of military options and greater operational flexibility. Yet it may also incur nuclear risks that result from arms race, crisis instability, and preemption for both China and the United States. These nuclear risks would have negative implications for Taiwan’s national security insofar as Taiwan remains a flashpoint between China and the United States. While the Nuclear Posture Review 2002 and the intensification of U.S.-Taiwan military cooperation would lead China to undertake a more robust defense policy, Taiwan’s security would be endangered for lack of clear and firm defense commitment from the United States. The author explains why the U.S. policy of “strategic ambiguity” is a strategic fallacy. A war or even a nuclear war across the Taiwan Strait would be more successfully prevented by a policy of “strategic clarity.” |
