“无政府状态”证义

A Study of Anarchy

无政府状态是国际关系理论中最重要的概念之一 ,但是对这一概念许多基于常识的体认往往导致认识上的混乱。本文通过对无政府状态与国家性质的关系、与暴力的关系以及与具有强制力的权威的关系这三重关系的探讨 ,提出了自己的见解 ,即在由主权国家构成的国际体系中 ,由于彼此冲突的利益无法得到自动的调节 ,同时又缺少能够限制竞争者所使用的手段的最高权威机构 ,因而在竞争中 ,未受到有力约束的武力被经常用来解决利益的冲突 。

Anarchy is one of the most important concepts in the theories of international rela tions. However, there are quite a few misperceptions resulted in common sense that leads to misunderstanding. This paper examines the relations between anarchy and nature of nations, violence, and authority. And it suggests that, in the inter national system composed of sovereignty nations, unrestricted force is commonly used to settle interest conflict among nations owing to the lack of automatic adjust ment of conflicting national interests, and the lack of authority regulating the meth ods employed by competing nations. That is the most important characteristic of anarchy.
