NEW YORK – There are many recurring debates in American foreign policy – for example, isolationism versus internationalism, and unilateralism versus multilateralism. But no debate is more persistent than that between those who believe that American foreign policy’s principal purpose should be to influence the external behavior of other states and those who hold that it should be to shape their internal nature.
纽约——有关美国外交政策的争论许多都是老生常谈——例如，是孤立主义还是国际主义，单边主义相对于多边主义，最近讨论最为激烈的是：美国的外交政策的根本目的是影响其他国家的外部政策还是直接干涉其他国家的内政。
