理解东盟的发展:历史体系的视角

Understanding the Development of ASEAN:In A View of Historical System

三大主流国际关系理论都不能较为全面地解释东盟的发展历程,巴里·布赞和理查德·利特尔的国际体系历史观提出了一种可能的解释,东盟的发展过程实际上是军事、政治、经济、文化四种变量合力的结果,东盟也由成立初期的政治—军事型组织逐渐向经济—政治型组织过渡。东盟成员国之间目前并不存在完全一致的价值观、共有利益和文化形态,因此东盟想要在未来获得更大发展,就必须加强各国之间的相互交流,培养共同感意识,从而最终实现东盟共同体的目标。

The three mainstream IRTs cannot explain the development of ASEAN very well,yet the historical view of international system coined by Barry Buzan and Richard Little provide a possible explanation for our understanding on ASEAN's development. According to their theory,the development of ASEAN is the resultant of the four variables including military,politics,economy and culture. ASEAN has undergone transition from a political- military organization to an economic-political one. However,the unanimous value,common interests and culture have not formed among the ASEAN countries. If ASEAN wants to play greater role in the international arena,the ASEAN countries must enhance their communications and breed their shared consciousness,in order to realize their goal to build an 'ASEAN community'in the future.
