阿马尔那时代近东大国外交研究述评

Review on the Research of Power Diplomacy of Near East in Amarna Age

阿马尔那时代近东大国外交研究有三个角度:外交关系研究,微观文本研究和宏观叙事研究是主要研究取向;外交制度研究,主要在外交联姻、使节制度、条约、情报交流和外交方式等方面;外交策略研究,主要是文本研究与博弈论研究。总体上看,研究的成果有限,原因在于书信翻译的滞后以及外交史对古代近东外交的排斥性。微观与宏观相结合的综合研究是外交关系研究的发展方向,而填补研究空白以及整体性研究是外交制度研究的走向,文本分析研究会成为外交策略研究的主导路径。
