國際關係研究中「英國學派」典範及其對建構「中國學派」之啟示

獨立於美國主流國際關係理論之外的英國學派再次興起，已受到國際關係學界的矚目。該學派是以國際社會研究為核心，對國際現象進行分析，主要特色是以人文、歷史與多元的方法來詮釋國際政治。近年來，此學派已經影響中國學者對國際關係研究的反思。隨著中國在國際政經領域的快速崛起，使其國關學者試圖去建構具中國特色的國關理論。對此，本文乃嘗試從英國學派發展經驗探討中國國際關係學派形成之可能性。

The re-emergence of the English school (ES) of international relations (IR) with its independence from the margins of the discipline of the American realism has attracted many interests in the field of IR studies. The key feature of the school is applying the concept of international society to analyse the phenomena of international relations. Added to this, it also has several obvious characteristics in IR research, such as employing humanism, historical approach and methodological pluralism in interpreting international politics. With the recent introduction of the ES into China, the ES paradigm has stimulated many Chinese IR scholars to think about the possibility of creating a Chinese way of IR studies. On the other hand, the occurrence of the rapid mounting China's international politico-economic status also greatly motivated the Chinese scholars to try to construct China's own IR theory for diplomatic practice in terms of the value of Chinese philosophy, culture and history. In this sense, the ES model indeed has an implication for China's ambition of building a Chinese School of international relations.
