国际制度合法性的政治心理学分析——以欧盟为例

Political Psychology Analysisof the Legitimacy of International Institutions:Taking European Union as an Example

国际制度是当今全球化和一体化进程中最为引人注目的国际政治研究对象,通常意义上的国际制度是指在国际关系某一特定领域国际角色在认识上趋于一致的原则、规范、规则和决策程序。这样一种制度的形成与发展必须要有强大的合法性与认同感,否则也只不过是一副空架子,没有办法在具体的国际事务处理中得以运行。因此,国际制度的合法性来源便成为国际关系领域研究的重点之一。政治心理学虽然是一门新兴的交叉学科,但是其对合法性的解读却有着一定的理论意义。欧盟作为国际组织的成功典范,其合法性基础同样可以通过政治心理学的视角进行分析。

International institutions are the most significant research topics in the field of international politics during the process of globalization and integration. International institutions refer to the agreed principles,norms,regulations and decision-making process of some international actors in a certain domain,which should be based on strong legitimacy and identification in order to be applied in specific internal affairs;otherwise,it would be invalid. Therefore,the legitimacy of international institutions has become a vital research topic in international relations.Although Political Psychology is,to some degree,a new subject,it has a profound impact on the analysis of legitimacy,through which the legitimacy of European Union could be explained.
