修昔底德与现实主义国际关系理论

Thucydides and Theory of Realism of International Relations

通过分析国际关系现实主义理论之父修昔底德在其历史巨作《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》中所展现的国际政治冲突逻辑、安全两难、同盟和均势等国家间行为,揭示了修昔底德对国际关系一般原理的探索以及对国际权势竞争的深刻理解,指出其对当代现实主义国际关系学者以及大国的现实主义外交政策所产生的深远影响。

An analysis is made to the magnificent historical work The Peloponnesion War of which the author is Thucydides, the founding father of realist theory of international relations. Disussing what are described about interstate behaviors in the book, such as the political logic of interstate conflicts, dilemma over security, alliance and balance of power, it has revealed what a profound understanding he gives us for the international power struggle and the fundamentals of international relations. His far-reaching influence on the study on international relations and the realist diplomacy of big powers in the world is discussed as well.
