现代性、后现代性与中国国际关系学派的诞生

大部分中国学者所考察的国际关系理论主要是具有现代性的国际关系理论,而西方国际关系理论在这一领域已经占据了难以撼动的霸权地位。自1960年代以来,以"多原"和"多元"为主要特征的后现代性已经逐渐确立,它对国际关系理论的创新具有十分积极的意义。在经过几十年努力仍无法创立中国国际关系学派的情况下,中国学者可以借助后现代性话语和思考方式探讨建立中国国际关系学派的可能路径。

Modernity, Post-modernity, and the Birth of the Chinese School of International Relations

Most Chinese scholars base their researches in International Relations Theory (IRT) on modernity, in which the West has already secured an unshakable hegemonic position. Ever since the 1960's, the post-modernity, with its multi-originality and multi-element characteristics, has come to the forefront; and it has positive significance for the innovation of IRT. After failures in efforts of several decades to establish the Chinese school of IRT, the Chinese scholars might divert their endeavors to the post-modernity direction in their exploration to construct the Chinese School of IRT.
