结构压力与进程动力:中国和平崛起的体系层次分析

Structural Pressures and Procedural Motives:A Systemic Analysis of China's Peaceful Rise

冷战结束之后,中国的和平发展面临着美国单级霸权试图遏制中国的实力增长和全球战略空间的扩展、美国与其盟友联合对付中国、美国的制度霸权对中国的国际选择和行动的制约以及美国假手周边邻国和国家集团遏制中国崛起的多种结构性压力。面对这些压力,中国有效利用了单极国际体系的多层次性、"多强"利益的多元化所形成的多方位多层次的分化和组合以及"多强"对单极霸权的挑战等结构特点,在与美国、周边邻国以及域外国家和国家集团互动的国际体系进程中,规避了单级国际体系的结构性压力,正在逐步走向和平崛起。今后,随着中国实力的不断增强,其面临的结构性矛盾会进一步增加。因此,保持多层次互动进程的良性发展和持续性将是中国规避单级体系结构性压力,实现和平崛起的关键。

Since the end of the Cold War, China＇s peaceful rise has met with various structural pressures from many aspects. Among them are the attempt of the American hegemony to restrain the growth of China＇s power, expansion of the global strategic space, joint efforts of the US and its allies against China, the restraint of the American systemic hegemony over China＇s choice and actions in international affairs, and pressures from the US against the rise of China through the neighboring countries and groups of countries. In the face of these pressures, China has effectively taken the advantage of the multi-dimensional and multilevel differentiation and combination that have resulted from the diversified interests of various big powers in the unipolar international system and the challenges of the big powers to the American hegemony to avoid the structural pressure from the international system in interaction with the United States, neighboring countries and other countries or groups of countries. Thus, China is now on the right course of peaceful and gradual rise.
