权力中心转移与国际体系转变

The Shift of World Center and the Change of the International System

中国崛起所产生的权力转移,不仅会改变国际格局,而且可能带来世界中心从欧洲向东亚的转移。然而,无论是国际格局改变还是世界中心转移,并不必然伴随着国际体系的质变。国际体系由行为体、国际格局和国际规范三个要素构成。将其中任何一个要素的质变视为体系质变,既无法区别体系与要素的不同,也无法确定两者间的关系。故此,至少应以两个体系要素发生质变作为体系质变的标准。由于中国崛起是国际格局变化的主因,因此其崛起面临的体系压力呈上升趋势。为此,中国需要制定与世界第二大国地位相符的对外战略,确立争夺战略友好关系的原则和建立国际新规范政策。

The power transition caused by China's rise will not only change the international configuration,but could also result in the world center shifting from Europe to Asia.However,neither a change in the international configuration nor the shift of the world center implies a change of the type of the international system.The international system is composed of three elements:international actors,international configuration and international norms.It will be neither possible to distinguish international system from its components nor clarify relations between components and system if changes in one element are treated as change of types of international system.The criteria for change of system should be changes in at least two of the three components.China will be faced with increasing system pressure due to its rise is the main cause of the change in international configuration.Thus China has to adopt foreign strategy according to its international status as the world's second largest power,develop principle guiding competition for strategic partners and adjust policy for establishing new international norms.
