中国古代分裂格局中的“统一性规范”——以宋、明两朝历史为例

本研究试图借鉴国际关系研究中对规范结构的关注,从社会学角度和体系层次来理解国家的战略行为。行为体间的规范结构在不同时期各有不同,因此,对战略文化的研究不能代替对"统一性规范"的研究。统一性规范兼具管制性与建构性效用,并使分裂格局中各分立政权进行"正统"身份的建构,使之保持争取国家统一的进攻性行为。基于以上视角,本文选取宋、明两朝的历史来验证统一性规范两种效用的存在。本研究对于解释当代中国的战略逻辑有一定意义,有助于澄清西方学界和政界对当代中国战略行为的误解,有利于我们论证当代中国与周边政权建立和平关系的可能性与必然性。

“ The Norm of Unification ” in the Context of Separatism in Ancient China : Cases from the History of the Song and Ming Dynasties

This research attempts to borrow from a literature in international relations on the structure of norms to consider the strategic behavior of states from a sociological and system level perspective.The structure of norms between actors vary over different time periods , and for this reason , research on strategic culture cannot replace research on " the norm of unification " .The norm of unification exhibits both the characteristics of a regulatory norm and a constructivist norm , and in the context of state separatism results in two conflicting polities constructing an " orthodox identity " which ultimately leads to offensive behavior targeted at ensuring the unity of the state.On the basis of this perspective , this article selects cases from the Song and Ming dynasties to demonstrate the existence of two effects of the norm of unification.This article has definite implications for explaining the strategic logic of contemporary Chinese strategy and is useful for clarifying misunderstanding of contemporary Chinese strategy held by Western academics or politicians.It also helps demonstrate the possibility and the ultimate inevitability that China establish peaceful relations with neighboring states.
