西方国家利益理论研究的建构主义转向

Shift to Constructivism in Western National Interests Theory Research

建构主义学派的主要代表人物温特在批判了主流学派基于无政府性和物质主义的研究范式后,基于整体主义和理念主义原则,实现了国际关系理论研究范式的转向。以研究范式的转向为基础,国家利益理论研究也实现了转向,建构主义认为国家利益不是由物质性因素建构,而是由观念因素建构;在国家利益的内容上,建构主义认为应包括生存、独立、经济财富和集体自尊。建构主义的国家利益理论既有现实性,又带有一定的理想主义色彩。

After criticized the research paradigm of the mainstream school which based on non-government and material, constrnctivism, based on the principle of the Holism and concepts idea, realized the paradigm shift about theoretical study of international relations. Based on the paradigm shift, study of the national interests has been shifted： constrnctivism holds that the national interests is not to be built by material factors, but the concept factors; that the content of the national interests should include the survival, independence, economic wealth and collective self-esteem. The national interests theory of constructivism have not only the existing reality, and also a certain the idealism color.
