制度主义视角下的国际制度与认同关系分析

An Analysis of the Relationship between International Institution and Identity from the Institutionalist View

制度主义认为,认同是国际交往中的一个重要因素,尤其是在国家参与国际制度的进程中,认同与制度化构成一个互动的关系。正向的国家间认同为制度化发展打下良好的基础,国际制度则为国家认同的塑造提供平台,高级制度化伴随着一个国家内化规范及认同建构的过程。探讨国家认同的含义和来源,分析认同与制度化的互动关系对于认识国家间关系的互动很有意义。第二次世界大战后的欧美关系的发展就是一个认同与制度化良好互动的典型例证。欧美在良好认同的基础上开始制度化进程,而在国际制度基础上的国家间交往,则进一步加深双方对彼此的认知程度,改变它们对安全、权力、利益和主导规范的认识,推动欧美关系朝着积极的方向发展,最终建立一个稳定有效的"跨大西洋安全共同体"。

Institutionalism holds that Identity is an important factor in international communication, especiallywhen countries participate in the international institutions. In this process, identity and institutionalization form aninteractive relationship. Positive national identity could lay a good foundation for the development ofinstitutionalization, while international institutions could provide a platform for the development of common identity,which means institutionalization always contains a national internalized norms and identity construction process. Itis very useful to discuss the meaning and the origin of the national identity, and to analyze the interactiverelationship between identity and institution. The development of transatlantic relations is an example of positiveinteraction of identification and institutionalization. Based on a good basis, these two sides started theinstitutionalization, while on the platform of international institutions, the development of transatlantic relationsmoved forward, which further deepened their cognition on each other, and changed their understanding of safety,power, interest and the leading norms. At the end, all of these factors together promoted the transatlantic relationsto a positive direction, and ultimately established a stable and effective 'Transatlantic Security Community'.
