中国制度性权力提升的现状与困境

Present Situation and Challenges for China’s International Institutional Power Promotion

国际制度性权力是国家行为体在参与国际组织和国际机制进程中对其他行为体产生影响的能力,也是国家维护和谋求自身利益的基本手段,具体表现为国际制度适应能力、国际制度塑造能力、国际制度创设能力三个维度。从中国的制度参与情况来看,中国已对当前高度制度化的国际体系展现出了良好的适应能力,国际制度塑造能力正稳步提升,国际制度创设能力也初步显现。但全球权力结构扁平化的趋势、制度变迁的路径依赖效应以及现有制度主导国的战略挤压将是中国制度性权力进一步提升的结构性障碍和阻力因素。

International institutional power is the ability of state actors to influence other actors in the process of participating in international organizations and mechanisms.It is embodied in three dimensions:the adaptability to international institutions,the ability of shaping international institutions and the ability of creating new international institutions.China has already been well adaptable to the highly institutionalized international system.Its ability to shape the institutions is steadily improving,and the ability to create new international institution is gradually enhancing.However,structural obstacles still exist for further promotion of China’s institutional power,such as the trend of global power structure flattening,the path dependence effect of institutional change and the strategic squeezing by the dominant powers.
