《管子》的霸权思想及其现代化——兼与西方霸权理论比较

Guanzi’s Ideas on Hegemony and Modernization:A Comparison with Western Theories of Hegemony

《管子》中所反映出的霸权思想有很多内容涉及现代国际关系理论的诸多方面,将《管子》的霸权思想与西方霸权理论相比较发现,《管子》的霸权思想在理论建构方面存在一定的缺失,主要表现为概念性、逻辑性、系统性和抽象性的不足,其内容大多是针对治国的需要而提出的策论,其中还存在着不少前后矛盾之处,从而导致其理论性不强。但是,《管子》的霸权思想具有中国传统的独特性,其中关于道义与权力相互关系的观点、国内政治与国际政治相互联系的研究方法则可以成为西方国际关系理论的补充,对当代国际政治研究具有一定的借鉴意义。

Guanzi’s ideas on hegemony include many aspects of modern theories of hegemony. By comparing Guanzi’s ideas on hegemony with Western theories of hegemony, the author argues that Guanzi’s ideas on hegemony have certain weaknesses to establish a theory, namely, the lack of conceptualization, systematization, and abstraction. Guanzi’s ideas on hegemony are mainly strategic comments that were promoted to meet the needs of governing the country, and some of them are even illogical. On the other hand, Guanzi’s ideas on hegemony contain much that is unique in the Chinese tradition. The research methods of mutual affiliations of domestic polities and international polities, and the ideas about the relationship between morality and power can effectively complement Western theories of international politics. The author concludes that the modernization of Chinese traditional diplomatic thought, including Guanzi’s ideas on hegemony, will surely be conducive to international political studies in China.
