文化话语视角下的中、印、日国家安全观研究

国家安全观作为一个国家安全政策与战略的核心基础,不仅是一个复杂的观念系统,也是指导国家安全实践的指针,因此,厘清其特性以及这种特性所形成的跨国异同关系具有重要的现实意义与学术价值。然而,国家安全观的文化话语性质及其作用尚未得到充分的理解和重视,而且相关国家的安全观还没有得到系统、全面的分析。论文从文化话语研究视角出发,以中、印、日三国的国家安全战略话语为依据,揭示其国家安全观的特点和异同关系。文章指出,中、印更加坚持自主安全立场,印、日更加关注自身安全利益;中主全球视野,日站同盟圈子。印、日同中国之间存在权势张力,前两者呈利己、结盟态势,而后者则呈和平对话态势。基于此分析结果,文章进而提出构建中国国家安全对外话语体系的新策略。

探寻现代中国的文明基础:康有为的文明论述与东西文化论战的开端

康有为在20世纪初较早地通过区分文明的物质层面与道德层面,发展出中国文明与西方文明各擅胜场的论述,下启东西文化论战。“一战”爆发呈现的欧洲文明危机与袁世凯复辟呈现的民国初期的共和危机,激起了两种截然相反的主张,陈独秀持东西方文明不可调和论及“全盘西化论”,反对辜鸿铭以中国文明拯救欧洲文明的主张,形成针锋相对的格局,清晰显示现代中国建构的文明基础问题,已经与王朝时代的夷夏之辨很不一样。更多论者主张东西方文明调和论,李大钊、杜亚泉等人在1916年前后已经提出其中的主要问题。东西文化有何差异、孰优孰劣、能否调和、如何调和等议题的展开,呈现了共和制新生时期的中国思想界探寻现代中国新的文明基础的重要一步,也是现代中国知识思想转型的重要一步。
