欧洲一体化欧洲一体化背景下的爱尔兰国家身份变迁

Transformation of Irish National Identity in the Context of European Integration

欧洲一体化对爱尔兰的国家身份产生了持久的深刻影响,为认识全球化、地区一体化进程中民族国家的身份变迁提供了重要的经验案例。爱尔兰的欧洲化进程与其现代化道路的探索相契合,带来了国家身份在国家形态、经济模式、社会治理、对外关系维度的重大变化。英国脱欧使爱尔兰国家发展再次面临关键历史节点,有助于爱尔兰民族摆脱历史上形成的对英国的心理依赖,成为爱尔兰潜在的"宪法时刻"和国家身份进一步变迁的契机,但也显示了其在参与地区一体化进程中借助"后民族国家"方案解决历史遗留的领土问题面临的复杂挑战。就该问题开展深入的跨学科研究不仅有助于拓展欧洲化研究在历史制度主义等领域的理论和实证研究议程,而且彰显了在更广义的欧洲学和全球化研究视野下国别研究和比较研究的学术价值。

The European integration has had a lasting and profound impact on the national identity of Ireland,which provides significant empirical facts for understanding the transformation of a nation-state’s identity in the context of globalization and regional integration.Ireland’s Europeanization process has converged with its quest for the path to modernization,bringing about significant changes to its national identity in the dimensions of statehood,economic model,social governance and foreign relations.Moreover,Brexit has confronted Ireland with another critical historical juncture,which helps the nation abandon its psychological dependence on the UK and which constitutes a potential"constitutional moment"as well as an opportunity to further transform its national identity.Conducting an in-depth interdisciplinary research on this topic could not only help us expand theoretical and empirical research agenda of Europeanization in the field of historical institutionalism,but demonstrate the academic value of both country studies and comparative studies from a broader perspective of European studies and globalisation studies.
