国际政治文化视角理论中文化的内涵及作用

Connotations and Functions of International Political Culture

冷战后,从文化视角考察国际问题在国际政治研究领域占据了显要的地位,文化冲突论、建构主义是这种文化视角理论的典型代表。该理论的核心概念文化与通常意义的文化概念不同,有着特定的内涵,是国际社会行为主体即国家之间在社会实践的互动中形成的共有知识,即国际规范、国际制度、国际规则等。作为共有知识的文化,发挥着独特的作用。分析国际政治文化视角理论中文化的内涵及作用,对于尚在形成中的国际政治文化理论有着十分重要的意义。

After the Cold War, typical theories like Clash of Civilization and Constructivism have become the leading ones in the study of international political affairs from the aspect of cross--cultural awareness. The concept of culture defined in these theories has different connotations and specific functions comparing to that of the traditional understanding of culture. Culture, including uniform international rules, interna- tional systems and regulations, is the shared knowledge in the interactions among countries concerned. The analysis of these connotations and functions of culture will be of great importance to the developing theories of international political culture.
