本文主旨在研究國際關係歷史社會學的興起與發展,反思其理論觀點,以及呈現此理論的優勢與未來,促使國內國際關係學者能關注此理論(或研究途徑)。因此,本文第壹部分說明國際關係歷史社會學的流行風潮,以顯現其近年所受到國際關係學者的重視,並約略說明國內相對的情形,以提醒國內國際關係學者關注此理論(或研究途徑)。第貳部分探討國際關係歷史社會學的理論(或研究途徑)發展過程,說明其經過三波的發展階段所關注的重點,尤其是批判主流理論的非歷史性或非歷史主義(ahistoricism)。第參部分探討國際關係歷史社會學轉向全球歷史社會學,主要是由於國際關係的全球性而引發其爭論全球的歷史社會性。第肆部分反思國際關係歷史社會學的若干關鍵議題,以思考其可能的發展趨勢。第伍部分探討國際關係歷史社會學的理論優勢與未來方向,藉以呈現其成為國際關係理論的新展望。
As a reminder for the domestic scholars in International Relations to acquaint to the International Historical Sociology(HIS), this paper aims at researching the development, reflections and prospects of IHS, while analyzing its strengths and future orientations. This paper presents a five-part analysis to reach these aims. The first part describes the popularity of IHS. Though more scholars have paid attentions to it in recent years, the trends in Taiwan have been opposite. This paper drafts a short review and call for International Relations scholars in Taiwan to acknowledge the trend. The second part of this paper examines the development of IHS in order to illustrate the foci of its three-wave development – in particular, the critique of ahistoricism in mainstream International Relations Theory. The third part discusses the shift of IHS toward Global Historical Sociology, which has been a result of debates between historical-social dimensions of globality in International Relations. The fourth part reflects some key issues of IHS and consider its trend of development. The fifth part explores the strengths and future orientations of IHS and assesses its prospects.
國際關係歷史社會學承諾要打破主流國際關係學界中的歐洲中心論 (Eurocentrism),但至今為止很少有人從事具體的歷史社會學經驗研究來兌 現這個承諾。許田波(Victoria Tin-Bor Hui)對近代早期歐洲與上古中國的國家形成做出具有開創性的比較研究是少數的例外,她探索的主要問題是何以歐洲國家間的軍事競爭會維持一種競爭性的多國體系,而中國的戰國體系最終卻匯歸為一統帝國?她認為秦國能統一中國主要是因為它進行了自強型的改革,而歐洲國家則多半採取了自弱..
Historical sociology in international relations promises to undermine the Eurocentrism that is characteristic of mainstream international relations theories. To date, however, few empirical studies in historical sociology have been carried out to deliver on that promise. Victoria Tin-Bor Hui’s ground- breaking comparative study of state formations in early modern Europe and ancient China is a rare exception. The main question she addresses in her work is why under similar pressure of military competition, Europe continu..
國際關係主流理論研究的是多邊關係,但是多邊關係得以運作,其前提在於,當多邊關係受限時,可仰賴雙邊關係加以維繫或超越,使多邊關係免於遭到直接挑戰。本文主張將雙邊關係做為國際關係研究途徑加以探究,並以戰後英國因實力變化而選擇轉向雙邊為個案。出於避免一夕崩壞及維護利益的設想,孱弱的大英帝國在戰後選擇向雙邊主義靠攏,美中兩國成為優先考量。即便這兩組雙邊關係間存在矛盾,卻是英國勉強藉由兩組雙邊關係維繫既有多邊框架,再行逐步調整,進而在戰後世界站穩腳跟的機制。 ..
Mainstream IR theories are typically multilateral. However, for any multilateral frame or value to last, bilateral relations must be able to resolve conceivable limitations. Thus, bilateral relations should be intrinsic to IR theorization. We use the United Kingdom in the aftermath of WWII as our case. The UK managed bilateral relations with the United States and China as ways to overcome its decline after the war. The bilateral relations transcend the multilateral frame and value. Accordingly, the UK’s two bilateral re..
