Meanwhile a few points are made to predict the future direction of U.S. foreign policy based on its past practices and current interests. SOME THOUGHTS ON NUCLEAR DISARMAMENT Wu Zhan（33） The article gives a brief historical review of nuclear disarmament and argues that after the START II Treaty between the two nuclear superpowers further reduction of nuclear weapons will be unlikely in the near future. It discusses problems concerning the destruction of nuclear warheads untouched in past treaties and expounds the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and missiles focussing on questions at issue in South Asia and North Korea. Finally, the author tries to explain China's position on nuclear test moratorium and ban, and its nuclear policy. ECONOMIC COOPERATION IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION Wang Yizhou（49） The essay treats the theme of the so-called "Pacific Epoch," though the author does not agree with some of the prevailing arguments thereabout. It comprises three separate but interrelated parts: 1. four models of regional cooperation as in the economic activities of the United States, Japan, Malaysia and China respectively; 2. differences among nations in natural conditions, politico-cultural backgrounds as well as attitudes towards joint developments; and 3. interactions among the four Asia-Pacific powers, namely, the United States, Japan, Russia and China, whose relationships can be grouped into four triangles. NIXON AND THE HISTORIC TURN OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY Zhang Yebai（73） This article is to the memory of Richard M. Nixon, a politician with strategic foresight and political courage. During his presidency, Nixon took bold and significant steps to adjust U.S. foreign policy, which enabled him to achieve his three principal policy goals: the retreat from Vietnam, Sino-American rapprochement, and detente with the Soviet Union. In retrospect, the Nixon era was a watershed in the postwar history of American foreign relations. THE PATTERN OF AMERICAN CULTURE: ENLIGHTENMENT FOR CHINESE CULTURE Zhu Shida（90） The author analyzed in a comparative perspective the three factors--Christian tradition, republicanism, and individualism that constitute the Anglo-Saxon-based American culture and "benevolence," "rites," and "golden means" that make up the quintessence of Confucianism, the basis of the pattern of Chinese culture. He concludes that Chinese society in the process of industrialization should learn the following lessons: 1. It must not negate its tradition; 2. it must not absolutize individualism; 3. there are structural conflicts among democracy, equality, and individualism in American culture; and 4. there is a need to seek complementarity between Chinese and American civilizations. ALEXANDER HAMILTON'S FINANCIAL REFORM Zhang Shaohua（108） The financial reform initiated by Alexander Hamilton in the early years of the United States was a profound change in American finance. It not only enabled the new-born United States to build up for the first time a rather complete financial system, but also played an important role in the national construction and economic development in the post-independence nation. As the change complied with the historical trend of development the opponents had no choice but to accept Hamilton's financial system which was later established.
