理論移植或創新：新自由主義在中國國際關係學界的發展(1998-2008)

Abstract

現代國際關係理論主要是由西方的知識社群所形塑。對於崛起中的大國，其論述大都以結構現實主義的視角分析，認為國家會根據權力多寡與處於國際體系的位置，調整對外政策。中國作為一個崛起中國家，自然亦不例外。不同於結構現實主義，新自由主義對於冷戰後區域經濟整合、國家相互依賴與國際組織參與提供了不同的視角。這也鼓舞中國內部不少學者，以新自由主義理論的角度，思考與闡述中國的崛起。本文的研究即以90年代末以來中國國關學界對新自由主義的研究做為主要分析重點，從中找出論述的主要類型與對中國國關學界具有重大影響的核心人物，探討由西方發展出來的新自由主義，經過中國知識社群「臨摹」與「改造」，是否會產生理論移植或創新的現象，並探討其論點發展趨向。而本文結論認為，中國國關學界經由引介西方自由主義國關理論，確實帶來豐富的理論反思與創新動機。但其知識社群的理論進步毋寧說還處在「初級階段」，其未來動向值得台灣同行密切觀察。

The contemporary discipline of International Relations (IR) is mainly characterized by mainstream theories of the West. Especially, from the viewpoint of neorealism, rising powers in the system are expected to challenge the incumbent hegemon and hence try to rewrite the established order. After the end of the Cold War, in contrast to neorealism, literature of neoliberalism stresses interdependence and nations’ participation in international organizations. Based on the learning and copying of the imported Western theories above, Chinese IR scholars manage to explore the meaning of the rise of China highlight its cooperation with the established order, with the insights of neoliberalism in particular. This study aims at analyzing the discourse of Chinese IR scholarship in neoliberalism. It further compare the main promises of neoliberalism and the Chinese studies of it to find out whether Western neoliberalism will be innovated through Chinese scholars’ imitation and transformation. Finally, by bringing together Chinese scholars’ neoliberalist studies, it offers a prospect of the future development of Chinese IR studies, including the rise of “Chinese School”.
