塑造“新路”——从共同经历出发的国际传播与构建共识的另一种可能

Making a“New Path”:Global Communication and the Possibility of Constructing Consensus through Common Experience

讨论“人类命运共同体”共识建设及其理想的全球传播问题时,我们面临的重要挑战之一是来自传统国际关系话语中潜藏的霸权中心主义秩序观。这种秩序观将国际关系的主题理解为国家间的软硬实力竞争。这显然无法真正用来理解“人类命运共同体”背后传承的,具有强烈辩证法自主意识的国际主义精神。本文提出,讲述“人类命运共同体”应当从“共同经历”入手,突出在全球发展过程中主权国家发挥的作用及其发展的不平等现状。这种视角将共同经历置于历史中心。与霸权中心的视角不同,建立在共同经历基础上的全球秩序想象一方面承认不同国家在通往现代化进程中的差异性状态;另一方面,更关注现代化的历史维度,强调不同共同体之间在现代化进程中由于“共同历史遭遇”而形成的共同问题、发展任务与政治诉求,并由此突出强调构建共同体认同是一个在漫长历史中自然发生的动态进程。

The main challenge China encounters when articulating the ideal of a“community with a shared future for mankind”is the hegemon-centric world view embedded in the traditional International Relation discourses.Such a challenge also hinders the effectiveness of international institutional building initiatives of China.The hegemon-centric world order understands international relation as a competition between sovereign states using both hard and soft powers.This perspective cannot be used to convincingly sustain the internationalist ideal of“community with a shared future for mankind”.This paper proposes that the idea of a shared experience provides a variable alternative to effectively communicate the ideal globally.This approach takes a dialectic perspective in understanding the formation of the world order as a communicative process.It understands the formation of a modern world order as an incoherent process including states with different socio-economic conditions interacting with each other,creating a status of inequality.It therefore proposes to pay more attention to identify the common problems,developmental needs and political concerns of states through their common historical and social experiences.Consequently,it aims to transfer the foundation of international consensus building as a deliberative process unfolding in a long historical duration.
