摘要
国际关系学从来都不是一门美国的社会科学即使西方一直在其中占据了绝对的优势,它也仍然是一个具有多样性的统一体。纵观国际关系学的发展历史,美国的现实主义受到了结构理论和历史社会学、批判理论的挑战;从学科现状来看,西方的狭隘主义正在逐渐消失;从美国以外的区域来看,欧洲大陆学者在战略研究、冲突研究等一些主要的国际关系学次领域中也做出了重要贡献。欧洲的国际关系学者开始探索非西方世界尤其是中国、日本和阿拉伯国家的国际关系著述,这种新的研究潮流对单纯使用英语造成的思想偏狭能够起到有益的抵消作用。因此,国际关系学并不存在霸权,学术传统、研究方法和研究议程的差别一直存在,而且这种判断也可能适合欧盟和北美之外的地区。
IR was never an American Social Science: it remains a unity in diversity even if it is still overwhelmingly Western. From the historical evolution of IR studies,the challenges to US realism came from structural theory,historical sociology and critical theory; from the current development in IR,there is the growing loss of Western provincialism; from the parts grounded outside the United States,the scholars in much of continental Europe have made important contributions to the principal sub-fields of IR: strategic studies,conflict research,and so on. European scholars in IR have begun to explore the IR literature in non-western cultures and in particular in China,Japan and the Arab,and this new trend is helpful to countervail the paradox of the overwhelming predominance of the English language. In short,there are no hegemonies in IR,where have always been differences of intellectual tradition,method and of agenda,and this evaluation may also be true beyond the confines of the EU and North America.
