印度战略文化的维度和取向

On the Structure and Preference of India's Strategic Culture

印度的战略文化有两个相互关联的渊源:一是以吠陀文化为基础、印度教为核心的宗教信仰,二是基于世俗社会生活和地缘政治变迁的政治哲学。前者使印度战略文化具有浓厚的精神性和神秘主义色彩,后者则赋予其实用主义和工具性策略。哲学性观念和工具性信仰共同构成印度多维度、多棱镜的战略文化形态。就战略文化取向而论,印度战略文化既非纯粹的防御性,亦非单一的进攻性,而是攻防二元混合体。

India＇s strategic culture originates in two sets of correlative concepts and ideas. One is a group of religious beliefs based mainly on both Vedic culture and Hinduism, the other political philosophy born of secular activities and geo-political evolution. The former endows India＇s strategic culture with spirituality and mysticism, and the latter with pragmatism and instrumental significance. Therefore beliefs at both philosophical and instrumental levels overlay, and consequently shape a multifaceted and tridimensional structure of India＇s strategic culture. Concerning its preference, neither defensiveness or offensiveness can depict it exactly. India＇s strategic culture is, in effect, a hybrid of both defensiveness and offensiveness. There is a strong correla- tion between India＇s strategic culture and India＇s strategy decision making and security behavior. The former limits and guides the latter by supplying social-cultural field.
