关系认同:结构与行为

Relational Identity: Structure and Behavior

基于关系主义研究对"关系"的本质和内涵进行的多方面论述,本文认同"关系是一种具有本体属性的友好但密切程度不同的人际联系"的界定,并从"关系理论"的关系性国际体系研究出发,提出了"关系认同构成关系结构"的观点,从一定程度上澄清了关系结构建构的微观机制及其作用原理。该观点认为,所有关系世界中的行为体都处于与其他行为体之间的、由关系认同确立起来的关系认同结构之中。行为体依据不同关系认同的亲密程度和强烈程度,决定其对其他行为体的支持力度与合作程度。但是,关系认同结构本身会随着自身结构内相关行为体关注领域的变化而发生变化。这一"关系认同结构理论"可以分析冷战时期的国际体系结构和特朗普政府与中东国家之间的关系状态与行为方式,表现出很好的解释能力。

The study of Relationalism has made a profound and rich exposition of the essence and connotation of the relationship. This paper accepts the view that the relationship is a kind of friendly interpersonal connections with different degrees of intimacy and ontological attributes. Starting from the relational study of international system, this paper puts forward the argument that every actor in the relational world is embeded in the relational identity structure established by relational identities of actors vis-a-vis each other. Based on the intimacy and the intensity of relational identities, the actor decides what degree of support and cooperation it will provide for other actors. The structural theory of relational identity explains the relationship status and the behaviors of the Trump administration with its Middle East allies pretty well. Hence it shows a very strong explanatory power.
