2016年日本通過宇宙2法，揭櫫推動民間升空商機、遙測數據商業等目標，目的在於擴大日本太空商業活動與世界太空市場接軌。其次，2017年美國NASA公布「阿緹米斯計畫」（Artemis program），基於美日同盟和美日安保，日本也積極參與美國主導的月球計畫；日本第5期《宇宙基本計劃》（2023∼2033年）表明日本邁入國際太空合作的動向，並且推出「宇宙安全保障構想」。就此，本文整理日本對應新太空時代的動向、太空與安保、太空民主聯盟等觀點，採用理性抉擇理論的「偏好—機..

In 2016, Japan passed the Space Act which aims to promote private space launch opportunities and the commercialization of remote sensing data, with the goal of expanding Japan’s space commercial activities and aligning with the global space market. Secondly, in 2017, NASA announced the Artemis program (Lunar Program). Based on the U.S.-Japan alliance and U.S.-Japan security arrangements, Japan is also actively participating in the U.S.-led lunar program. The 5th Basic Plan for Space Policy (2023~2033) indicating Japan’s move tow..

東南亞國家協會(東協)於 2009 年成立東協政府間人權委員會，一反其 40 年來對聯合國倡議成立區域人權機制之漠視。究竟東協為何成立區域人權機構?現有的文獻已從理性論和觀念論兩種研究途徑探討過，但其解釋 力各有不足。本文仍從理性論的觀點出發，但不同於文獻所強調的東協集體理性，本文強調個別會員國的理性，因為以往文獻在分析層次的選擇上採取了較宏觀的視角，但結果卻是無法完全解釋東權會的成立。本文仍採用理性論的研究途徑，但補充以較微觀的視角，主張東協成立東權會是東..

The ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR)was created in 2009 by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN), a move contrary to its ignoring of the United Nations’ forty-year advocacy. Why did ASEAN member states create the AICHR? A review of the literature found two types of arguments: rationalist and ideationalist, but neither of them is satisfactory enough to explain why the AICHR was created. This article adopts a rationalist perspective with the emphasis on ASEAN member states’ indi..

歷史制度論是一問題意識、方法立場與理論建構三者緊密結合的學派。研究者始自經驗的問題意識，欲解答大問題與真實世界的難題，並由此引導出特定的方法立場與理論建構模式。在方法立場上，歷史制度論者同意質化研究的「因果過程模式」，並運用比較方法進行系統性、脈絡性的歷史過程分析。但歷史制度論者並未拘泥於質化方法的基本教義，面對量化陣營的質疑，反而持開放的立場並提出多元的回應方式。在理論建構上，歷史制度論者具有「中程理論」的共識，並從整體觀點和權力途徑探討制度運作，能結合不..

As a school, historical institutionalism integrates research agenda, theory and method as a whole. Researchers in this field intend to answer “big questions” and to solve real-world puzzles, inducing specific characteristics in their theory and method. In aspect of method, historical institutionalists agree on “causal process model” in the qualitative researches and analyze historical process systematically with the comparative method. Facing the challenge from quantitative researchers, historical inst..

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..
