东西方文明竞争与国际法地域观的改变

Competition Between Eastern and Western Civilizations and Change of Regional View of International Law

东西方两大文明在18、19世纪开始具有普遍历史意义的相互接触,但是由于器物之上的差距,西方文明获得了压倒性的优势,并进一步强化了自宗教时代的西方文明优越。殖民运动将近代国际法传至世界,非西方国家被动进入到西方主导的世界秩序中,并延续至今。从历史来看,近代国际法实为欧洲区域公法的世界化。二战后,世界形势急剧变化,但是国际法和国际秩序并未发生根本变革,已成为西方国家维护西方整体利益的保证。应当看到国际法作为文明竞争的成就的本质属性,当今世界,东西方两大体系已不再呈现器而上的悬殊,文明竞争的图景真正得以体现。中国对于国际法和国际秩序的全部表达和主张,都应当依托于东方文明的复兴和胜出。

The two civilizations of the East and the West began to have universal historical contact in the 18th and 19th centuries.However,due to the gap above the artifacts,Western civilization gained an overwhelming advantage and further strengthened the superiority of Western civilization since the religious era.The colonial movement spread modern international law to the world,and non—Western countries passively entered the Western-dominated world order and continued to this day.Historically,modern international law has become the globalization of European regional public law.After the Second World War,the world situation changed drastically,but no fundamental changes have taken place in international law and the international order.It has become a guarantee for Western countries to safeguard the interests of the West as a whole.We should see the essential attribute of international law as an achievement of civilized competition.In today s world,the two systems of the East and the West are no longer disparate,and the picture of civilized competition is truly reflected.China s full expression and proposition of international law and international order should rely on the revival and victory of Eastern civilization.
