国际政治中弱者的权力

综合实力处于弱势的国家,在具体问题领域并不必然处于同等的弱势,甚至处于优势。这种情况何以发生?本文在评述和借鉴既有的主要的权力分类基础上,基于国际权力来源的不同,提出一种关于国际政治中弱者权力的分析框架,认为自然性权力、制度性权力、派生性权力构成了弱者在具体问题领域权力的要素。具体问题领域权力的对比比总体权力对比,能够更好解释该问题领域国际政治的进程和结果。

The Power of the Weak in International Politics

The weak states in the international politics by the standard of aggregate power are not necessarily weak in particular cases. Rather, some are even quite powerful. Why? Based on the literature review of the current classifications and sources of power, the author proposes an analyzing framework for the power of the weak in international politics. It is argued that the power of the weak in specific areas consists of three parts: natural, institutional, and derivative, and this classification can better explain the process and the outcome of international politics in these issue areas.
