“通情”以“达理”:新时代中国特色亲情外交理论与实践

The Manifestation of Rationality Depends on the Interaction of Emotions—Theory and Practice of Emotional Diplomacy with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era

新时代中国特色大国外交表现出“情理相交、真诚温暖”的鲜明风格,大大提升了中国的国际影响力、感召力和塑造力。然而,迄今为止,中国学术界尚未对亲情外交进行系统的理论研究。鉴于此,本文借鉴国际关系理论“中国学派”以及“历史政治学”的研究路径来构建亲情外交理论。首先,新时代中国特色亲情外交理论积极汲取传统历史文化资源,其包含着“天下国家”现代化转型、党的领导以及民心政治的三重理论逻辑;其次,基于亲情外交的理论内涵,可以演绎出“天下一家亲”的世界观、“天下无外”的方法论和“化成天下”的价值观三个维度。最后,本文抽象和提炼出亲情外交的理论范式,并结合新时代中国外交实践进行初步验证。实践表明,新时代中国特色亲情外交在处理国际关系中情理并举、情理融通,有助于进一步提升中国外交话语权,展现可信、可爱、可敬的中国形象。

The major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics in the new era demonstrates a distinctive style of"a blend of emotion and reason,with sincerity and warmth,"which has greatly enhanced China's international influence,appeal,and shaping power.However,to date,Chinese academics have not yet conducted any systematic theoretical research on emotional diplomacy.In light of this,this paper seeks to construct a theory of emotional diplomacy by drawing on the"Chinese School"of international relations theory and the research path of"historical political science."Firstly,the theory of emotional diplomacy with Chinese characteristics in the new era actively draws on traditional historical and cultural resources,which contains the triple theoretical logic of modernizing the"the state of Tianxia(all under heaven),"the leadership of the Communist Party of China,and the politics of people's hearts.Secondly,based on the theoretical connotations of emotional diplomacy,three dimensions can be deduced:the worldview of"the world as one big family,"the methodology of"a world of no exteriority and only interiority,"and the values of"edifying the populace so that the rule by civil means can prosper."Finally,this paper abstracts and refines the theoretical paradigm of emotional diplomacy and conducts a preliminary verification in combination with the practice of Chinese diplomacy in the new era.Practice shows that emotional diplomacy with Chinese characteristics in the new era,which balances and integrates emotion and reason in handling international relations,can help to further strengthen China's voice in diplomacy and present a credible,amiable,and respectable image of China.
