摘要
"信任"是影响社会行为体互动的重要变量,但现有国际关系领域的信任研究大多注重经验分析,一般的理论探讨也常常忽视国家间信任的"生成问题"。本文就现有研究的主要路径进行了梳理和评介,并尝试从社会关系网络的角度建构一个国家间信任生成的研究框架。这一框架沿袭了进程建构主义的基本思路,主要观点为:"嵌入"在国际社会网络中的信任来源于国家间"关系",以关系为本位的网络形塑了信任,信任反过来强化或削弱关系网络;在信任建构的进程中,信任规范得以产生、扩散和内化,进而影响国家的属性和行为;但由于关系网络本身是动态性的,特别是相互关系中存在不对称依赖,这使得信任具有社会资本的分配资源功能。
＂Trust＂ is an important variable impacting the interactions hetween societal actors. Current research on trust in the field of international relations focuses primarily on empirical analysis, while the available theoretical explorations of the concept generally neglect to consider the ＂roots＂ of trust. This essay reviews and classifies current research on trust, and on the basis of social network analysis, attempts to conceptualize a framework for researching how trust is established. This framework follows the same line of thinking that has been used to advance constructivism, its core argument being that the trust ＂embedded＂ within international social networks stems from the ＂relations＂ between states. Relations based networks shape trust, while trust strengthens or weakness relational networks. As trust is built, it is institutionalized, broadened and internalized, thereby affecting the characteristics and behaviors of states. It also finds though that as relational networks themselves are dynamic, and especially as relationships are dependent on asymmetries, trust also functions as a tool for the distribution of social capital.
