文化与国际关系理论创新——基于理性和关系性的比较研究

Theoretical Innovation of Culture and International Relations: A Comparative Study Based on Rationality and Relationship

如果说社会科学理论的灵魂是由文化或共同背景知识塑造的理论硬核,那么,社会科学理论必然带有地方性的印记。社会科学理论的发展会使理论本身超越初始地方性特征,但理论的文化印记是不会消失的。当今世界发生了重大的历史性变化,最明显的莫过于非西方国家的群体崛起。世界已经成为一个多元共存的所在,国际关系也已经成为全球范围内的实践活动。与之相应的是,国际关系学在其诞生百年之际,开始有意识走向具有全球意义的话语体系和叙事诉求。这是国际关系学的百年大变,如果真正全球意义上的国际关系学在巨大变革中应运而生,一个重要标志无疑是非西方国际关系理论的兴起,而非西方文化资源恰恰为这一重要发展提供了丰富的智识资源。

If the soul of social sciences theory is a firm theoretical core shaped by culture or common background knowledge,then it must have a local imprint.Its development will make the theory itself transcend its initial local characteristics,but its cultural imprint will not disappear.The world today has witnessed major historical changes,most notably the rise of groups in non-Western countries.The world has becoming pluralistic,and international relations have become a practice in a global context.Correspondingly,on the occasion of its centenary,international relations has begun to consciously move toward a globally significant discourse system and narrative appeal.This is a big change in a century.If the international relations in the global sense emerged in the midst of tremendous changes,an important symbol is undoubtedly the rise of non-Western international relations theory,and non-western cultural resources provide a wealth of intellectual resources for this important development.
