本論文主在以軍備管制、經濟互動、及歐洲安全三項指標評估自一九六九年尼克森政 府始，迄現任雷根政府上，美蘇兩國在和解政策下的關係發展。 第一章─「戰後美蘇冷戰之回顧」：除檢討冷戰的變數，並以三項指標說明蘇聯戰後 的擴張與美國的圍堵。 第二章─「和解的起源」：除剖析影響和解的國際、國內因素，並檢討美蘇外交決策 人對和解的意識認知。 第三章─「尼克森、福特政府和解的發展」：主以三項指標說明此階段美蘇和解的進 展。 第四章─「卡寺政府和解的衰退」：主以三項指標說明此階段美蘇和解的衰退。 第五章─「雷根政府和解的幻滅」：主以三項指標說明此階段美蘇和解的幻滅。 第六章─「和解演進的評估」：除檢討和解的正負功能，並以三項指標檢討三任政府 在和解政策上的成敗。

1993年1月13日在法國巴黎簽署之「禁止化學武器公約」（The Chemical Weapons Convention，CWC），不但規定銷毀現存所有類別的化學武器，並且在嚴格的國際管制下，採取嚴密之查核措施，以完全銷毀研製化學武器相關設備；對於用以製造成化學武器之原料及其前驅物質的貿易也有訂定詳細規約，期能終極達成全面消滅化學武器之目標。2003年5月30日，美國布希總統宣佈成立「防擴散安全倡議」（Proliferation Security Initiative，PSI），其目的亦在更有效的防止大規模毀滅性武器(Weapon of Mass Destruction，WMD)之擴散並避免落入邪惡軸心國家或恐怖份子之手。 化學武器也被稱為「窮國的原子彈」，因其發展簡易、製造費用較為低廉，故國際間化學武器的擴散對國際和平與安全之威脅已遠超核子武器或生物武器；我國雖躋身全球前11名化工國，但因中共的阻撓，迄今仍然無法成為「禁止化學武器公約」的締約國，但不能據此理由，自外於國際社會對此問題之關注與掌握，本論文即以「禁止化學武器公約」為研究重點，期提供未來觀察相關發展之參考。 / “The Chemical Weapons Convention”（CWC） signature in Paris on January 13, 1993 required all the existing chemical weapons be demolished and a strict inspection measure be taken under the strict international supervision and control to completely destroy all the related facilities and equipment used to make chemical weapons; It also stipulates in detail on the trade of raw materials used to make chemical weapons so that the ultimate goal of total annihilation of chemical weapons can be reached. On May 30, 2003, President George Bush Jr. announced the establishment of “Proliferation Security Initiative”(PSI) with an aim to further effectively prevent from the proliferation of “Weapons of Mass Destruction ”(WMD) and minimize the chance to let them fall in the hands of the evil axis countries or international terrorists. Chemical weapons are also dubbed as“the nuclear bomb of the poor nations”because they are easy to develop and the cost of producing them are relatively low. Therefore, the proliferation of chemical weapons in the world has posed a far more severe threat than that of nuclear or biological weapons. Although our country has been in the top 11 chemical engineering countries in the world, we are still not able to be one of the signatories of “the Chemical Weapons Convention” as a result of the political interference from China. However despite this adverse situation, we should not use this as an excuse to exclude ourselves from the concerns and control of the international community on this issue. Therefore, this paper focuses mainly on “The Chemical Weapons Convention”, hoping to provide a significant reference for future observation and the development of the related issues.
