Size,System,and the Vulnerability of Small States

摘要规模、体系是探索小国脆弱性演进的基本理论途径。规模小是小国的共同特征,也是小国脆弱性的根源。然而,小国脆弱性及其衍生的依赖性和边缘性并非固定不变,国际体系与全球语境对脆弱性的程度、内涵及其政治经济意义具有建构性影响。规模的政治意义往往取决于国际政治体系的性质,规模的经济意义则取决于国际经济机制安排。在当今国际关系语境下,小国脆弱性因体系性质的变化而得到缓解、因全球化的演进而迎来重大转机。但这种变化并不意味着小国脆弱性的根除,"小"仍具显著的政治经济意义。简单来看,规模的意义塑造着国家特性,"小"与体系的变迁共同建构着小国脆弱性的性质与内涵。 Size and system are basic theoretical approaches to the study of the vulnerability of small states.Small size,which is a shared attribute of all small states,is the source of its vulnerability.Nevertheless,small states' vulnerability and the associated dependence and marginalization are not a constant,because the international system and global discourse have a constitutive impact upon the degree,content and politico-economic significance of its vulnerability.The political significance of size depends on the nature of international political system,while its economic significance hinges upon international economic arrangements.In the context of today's discourse on international relations,small states' vulnerability has been mitigated due to the changed systemic nature;moreover,the evolution of globalization has provided small states with a potential turning point.But all these changes do not amount to the elimination of vulnerability for small states: 'smallness' still has political and economic significance.Simply put,size has shaped national attributes,and 'smallness' and the change of international system have together constituted the nature and content of small states' vulnerability.
