在國際關係的研究領域中,不論是國家中心論或是以體系為主的體系理論,都以國家為研究的客體。伴隨著全球化浪潮,「全球治理」概念的出現,表明以國家為主的國際政治體系已無法解決國際環境的複雜變化,須藉助許多跨國性次級團體來共同治理。有鑑於此,新現實主義、新自由主義、 與建構主義中以國家為給定對象的國際關係主流理論,遇到解釋上的局限, 需要建構一套新的本體論與知識論,俾有效解釋在國際政治中逐漸呈現的多元行為體治理現象。本文認為國際關係理論面臨三個問題的挑戰:一、如何解釋國際政治多元行為體的現象?二、如何解釋行為體的認同變化與行動選擇?三、如何解釋人、多元行為體與國際社會三者相互建構的關係?本文援引當代社會理論,將「主題」與「個人」視為來回往返的主客體,以「主題」取代「國家」成為主體,並以「權力載體」的概念取代行為體,嘗試對上述問題做出合理的系統性解釋。本文認為,一旦主題成為社會共識,個人會依所處的社會位置與知識理念,選擇適當的「權力載體」,創造出符合系統目標的論述,而在論述的競合中,社會的建構於焉發生。
Theories of international relations(IR), whether through state-centric or systemic approach, put states as centers of research objectives. With trending globalization, the advent of the global governance concepts manifests that a state-focused international political system without transnational sub-political groups has failed to respond to complex changes in the international environment. Accordingly, this challenges neo-realism, neo- liberalism, and constructivism, which focus on the state-centric approach and experience explanatory constraints. In order to interpret the multiple actors’ phenomenon in present international politics, a set of new ontology and epistemology in the study of IR should be introduced. The aforementioned theories exhibit some explanatory shortcomings with regards to(1) multiple actors’ phenomenon in present international politics;(2)actor’s identity shifting and its alternatives of action;(3)the co-constructive relationships among individuals, multiple actors, and the international society.
To overcome these shortcomings, this article constructs a synthesis on the basis of the current IR and modern sociological theories. In doing so, this article first presents the centrality of “theme” to challenge IR’s main focus on “states” as well as their ontological claims and then employs the “power platform” to replace actors. This paper argues that once an issue becomes a theme with strong social consensus, individuals may choose an associating power platform according to their statuses and perceptions to create discourses corresponding to the inherent social system. Social construction may happen in the process of cooperation and competition of discourses.
國際關係理論逐漸呈現以理論綜合的方式進行國際關係研究,國際規範研究是其中的重要議題之一,本文嘗試從國際規範的生命週期開始,運用「國際規範社群下的策略行動」(strategic actions in a international norm community),以理性主義(策略行為)與建構主義(規範行為)理論綜合的策略與研究途徑分析美國「防止擴散安全提議」,探索此國際規範的興起、擴展、內化與侵蝕階段時期中,不同國家的行為動機,藉以呈現說明理論綜合能提供不同面向的相互補充解釋。
The international norm is one of the major topics in international relations research, of which synthesized approach is gradually becoming a trend. This paper attempts to adopt Frank Schimmelfennig's approach- the strategic actions in an international norm community- to synthesize the theories of rationalism and constructivism in the international norm circle. As the case, the Proliferation Security Initiative will be analyzed through different phases of emergence of the life circle-cascade, diffusion, internalization, and erosion- to u..
本文試圖深入分析私權威的概念,並評析近期學界對於自願性全球標準的研究成果。本文認為,私權威的概念能對全球治理研究提供兩項重要貢獻:首先,私權威的概念挑戰了強調國際無政府狀態的傳統觀點以及以國家為中心的研究途徑。其次,私權威的概念有助於研究者以行為者導向的途徑來解釋全球治理中的變異現象。以私權威的概念作為基礎,本文疏 理了自願性全球標準的發展情勢,並以氣候債券倡議組織作為關鍵個案,評析自願性全球標準的三個研究方向:自願性全球標準的形成、自願性全球標準在形式上的變異,以及自願性全球標準的成效..
This article examines the concept of private authority and the current studies of voluntary global standards. This article argues that the concept of private authority can contribute to the study of global governance in two ways. First, the concept of private authority challenges the traditional views of international anarchy and the state-center approach. Second, the concept of private authority provides the foundation for the actor-oriented approach to explain the variation in global governance. Based on the concept of private authority, ..
