“个人”、“个国”与现代国际秩序——心理文化的视角

"The Individual," "Individual Nation," and the Modern International Order: A Psycho-cultural Perspective

作者尝试将"心理-社会均衡"的理论引入到国际关系研究中,把近代西方国家以及建立在此基础上的国际关系与"个人"这种西方社会的"基本人际状态"联系起来考察,从一个独特的角度阐述了现代国际关系的起源及本质。作者认为,近代西方国家的出现是解决个人社会一体化问题的产物,"个人"与近代民族国家是一种同构映射关系,即两者都是界限清晰的行为主体,个体的"自我意识"与"民族自我意识"具有关联性,对个体利益和权利的强调与国家功能的分离具有一致性。个人社会中人际关系的特点——利益、竞争、缺乏安全感——也反映在国际关系中并被普遍化和强化。作者还分析了"个人"心理-社会均衡模式的特点与国际关系理论中的所谓"安全困境"之间的关系。

The article analyzes the constructional mapping relations between 'the individual,' the human state of Western society, and modern Western nations. All are actors with clear limits. The individual’s self-consciousness is relevant to the nation’s self-consciousness. Emphasis on the individual’s rights and benefits accords with the nation’s function. The characteristics of interpersonal relations in individual society:benefits, competition, and the lack of a sense of security are also reflected in international relations and are generalized and strengthened. The article explores the origins and essence of modern international relations from a new perspective.
