| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 美國研究所 === 84 === The study seeks to analyze why and how the US managed the
Persian Gulf crisis with the world community in the
perspectives of international cooperation and international
system. The main theme of the study indicates that during post-
Cold War the cooperation of the US and its allies for resolving
the crisis is not only essential but also advances the US
national interests to meet the reality''s need. As to research
method, theory-confirming and hypothesis- generating case study
and comparative method are applied. Moreover, international
cooperation theory, public goods theory, alliance theory and
system theory are synthesized to derive three hypotheses, which
are to be testified individually by three -level classification
of nations --- superpower, second-tier power and small power
--- that cooperated whth the US during the crisis. The study
concentrates on the discussion of four crucial dimensions,
including the standpoint of individual nation, diplomatic
negotiation, military depolyment and financial share. The
conclusion reveals that as the transition of inter- national
system, the responsibility of maintaining world order should be
more shared by the US allies through inter- national
cooperation, especially during post-Cold War the US should
recognize the effects of systemic difference upon its leading
status, and adjusts its strategy to increase its interests.
