地位认知、权力结构与国际冲突

一个国家的地位认知是由自我地位认知和他我地位认知互动形成的。在影响国际冲突的认知互动中,自我认知是行为体政策选择的关键,越是自我认知是相对强国的行为体,用武力方式解决冲突的可能性就越大。而地区冲突的解决方式与冲突国的自我地位认知以及大国对该国在地区内的地位认定具有一定的因果关系。大国对自我认知是强国的行为体在地区内的强弱地位的认定,构成了行为体选择争端解决方式的关键认知。如果大国认同、尊重该行为体是地区强国的事实,则该行为体在地区冲突中较少使用战争手段,并会采取搁置争议、谈判等方式解决冲突。相反,如果大国态度不明晰,否认或不尊重该行为体在地区内的强国地位,则该行为体在地区冲突中选择战争手段的可能性加大。中国的和平发展正是要力图避免做一个失败的体系挑战国家和失败的霸权国家,从而抛弃自视为强国去侵略他国的认知模式。这一研究有助于西方国家理解为什么当前的中国可以走和平发展的道路。

Status Cognition,Power Structure and International Conflict

The settlement of the regional conflict in international politics is related to the cognition of conflicting state and the it’s status that central power recognizes. The author believes whether the central power recognizes the status of regional power, strong or weak, is the key cognition of a state in dispute settlement. If the central power confirms it is a strong power in the region, the state would be less likely to solve regional conflict by war and apt to put the dispute on the negotiation table. On the contrary, if the central power denied a strong regional power, the state would possibly resort to war in regional conflict. This result helps the western countries to understand why china can develop peacefully in the current international system.
