В статье рассматривается процесс формирования американо-тайских отношений в сфере безопасности со Второй мировой войны до заключения Манильского пакта. Актуальность представленного исследования обусловлена недостаточным вниманием отечественной науки к истокам тайско-американского военно-политического сотрудничества как одного из элементов Сан-Францисской субсистемы международных отношений, которые по-прежнему определяют характер взаимоотношений двух стран в сфере безопасности. Цель – на основе анализа зарубежных источников, в том числе не вводившихся ранее в отечественный научный оборот, выявить ход эволюции американского и тайского подходов к обеспечению безопасности в период с конца 1940-х гг. до Манильского пакта 1954 г., который стал основной для организации договора Юго-Восточной Азии. Опираясь на историко-генетический и сравнительно-исторический методы, автор определяет внутриполитические, региональные, а также международные факторы сближения Вашингтона и Бангкока. К числу первых относится государственный переворот в Таиланде и приход к власти Пибуна Сонгкрама, придерживавшегося жесткого антикоммунистического курса в интересах военных. Региональные факторы представлены образованием Китайской Народной Республики и усилением влияния коммунистов в Индокитае. К числу международных факторов относятся сближение Союза Советских Социалистических Республик и Китайской Народной Республики, война в Корее, поражение Франции в Индокитае. Комбинация этих факторов сформировала основу военно-политического сотрудничества Соединенных Штатов Америки и Таиланда, выраженного обязательствами по Манильскому пакту и коммюнике Таната-Раска, юридически сохраняющими свою значимость до сих пор.

This article examines the US–Thai security relations from World War II to the Manila Pact of 1954. Russian historical studies tend to overlook the origins of Thai-American military and political cooperation as an element of the San Francisco system of international relations. However, these origins still determine the nature of contemporary bilateral security relations, with the Manila Pact serving as the foundation for the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). The research relies on foreign sources introduced into Russian scholarship for the first time. Employing historical-genetic and comparative-historical methods, the author identified the international, national, and regional factors behind the rapprochement between Washington and Bangkok. The national factors included the coup d'état in Thailand and Phibun Songkhram’s rise to power, which established a hardline anti-communist course that served military interests. The regional factors involved the formation of the People’s Republic of China and the rise of communism in Indochina. The international factors included the Sino-Soviet rapprochement, the Korean War, and the defeat of France in Indochina. The convergence of these factors laid the groundwork for the military-political alliance between the United States and Thailand, which culminated in the obligations under the Manila Pact and the Thanat-Rusk Communique that remain relevant to this day.
