改变自己 塑造世界:中国与国际体系的共同进化

Reform for a Better World: China and International System toward Coevolution

在“新时代”和“百年未有之大变局”的背景下,中国需要实现与国际体系共同进化。共同进化是行为体和体系积极互动、相互调整和适应,以实现正向回馈、走向共同进步的过程。在此过程中,行为体的体系重要性越高,能动性越强,实现行为体与体系共同进化的可能性就越大。能动性是化解结构困境、实现共同进化的核心机制,主要通过实践产生作用。当前中国在国际体系中的重要性日益彰显,充分发挥能动性,“改变自己,塑造世界”,是实现中国与国际体系共同进化的现实路径。中国在完善国内治理、实现可持续发展的同时,需积极应对国际挑战、承担国际责任,在可持续发展、国际制度改革和全球治理领域做出贡献,促进国际合作和国际体系的进步。

Facing changes unprecedented in the past hundred years and entering into a new era China needs to promote coevolution between itself and the international system.Coevolution proposed by this paper is a process where an agent interacts proactively with the system it dwells in to promote mutual adjustment and accommodation and positive mutual feedback for common progress.During the process the greater impact the agent has on the system the greater agency it employs the more likely the coevolution is to be achieved.Agency as the core of the theory works through the agent􀆳s practices for the resolution of structural conflicts and the coevolution between the agent and the system.As China continues to rise in international system it needs to fully employ its agency and engage in both domestic and international reform practices to promote coevolution between itself and the system.While improving domestic governance for sustainable development China needs to play a more active role in combating transnational threats and shouldering international responsibilities and further commit itself to the reform of international institutions the improvement of global governance and the progress of international cooperation and international system.
