英国学派与中世纪欧洲模式研究

英国学派把历史学与国际关系学结合起来,形成了不同于美国学者的独特风格。他们从国际体系、国际社会和世界社会三大基本概念出发,重视研究中世纪欧洲模式。这对我们深入理解新中世纪主义具有重要意义。然而,由于英国学派的主要代表人物关注的重点不同,他们对中世纪欧洲模式的概括也有所差异。从总体上看,英国学派对中世纪欧洲模式的研究仍然存在许多薄弱环节,未能形成一致看法。事实上,中世纪欧洲模式的基本特征是前现代的均势体系与区域性的世界社会并存,并不存在国际社会。英国学派对中世纪欧洲模式的研究仍然是以逻辑在先的方法为主,虽然具有一定局限性,但仍给我们带来了很多有益的启示。

English School and the Study of the Medieval Europe Model

English School combining history with the theory of international relations,develops a set of distinctive features which are quite different from those of the American scholars.With three basic categories being the starting points,members of the English School have paid much attention to the study of the medieval Europe model,as is very important for us to further understand the neomedievalism.Different emphatic points result in different ideas and models.In general,there still exist many differences among them,and they hold no identical views on the model.In fact,it is a pre-modern system of balance of power coexisting with a regional world society that characterizes the medieval Europe model,from which international or interstate society could not be found out.With logic at advantage position,methods of English School have many limitations,but we can still learn much from them.
