威望外交:寻求权力与承认的政治

Prestige Diplomacy: the Politics of Seeking Power and Recognition

威望外交是国际政治研究中一个较少引起关注但又十分重要的领域。在国际事务中,威望外交体现的是维护本国声誉和威望的能力。它由四个独立但又相互联系的因素构成,即战略意志、战略威慑能力、国家信誉和战略边疆。中国传统的战略文化中不乏关于威望外交的丰富的思想遗产,中国应该合理汲取,并依据自己的国力限度与利益分布范围,从威慑力、公信力、吸引力、创造力等四个方面开展威望外交,塑造在国际事务中的威望。

Prestige diplomacy is a very important area in international studies, although it hasn＇t received much scholarly attention so far. In international affairs, prestige diplomacy is embodied in a country＇s abilities to maintain its reputation and status. It consists of four separate yet inter- related elements, namely strategic will, strategic deterrence capability, national reputation and strategic frontier. In the historical process of peaceful development, China should draw on its own abundantly recorded traditional strategic wisdom. Moreover, it should also carry out prestige di- plomacy with deterrence, credibility, affinity and creativity in view, shaping its strategic prestige and continuously enhancing its soft power for fuller participation in international affairs.
