国际关系研究中的心理分析

心理学的视角在国际关系研究中一直处于边缘地位,但是它对于理解国际关系特别是对外决策却是不可替代的。国际关系研究中对心理视角的应用主要集中在对外决策研究领域。其中,“认知以何种方式对决策产生了什么影响”是一个核心问题。在运用心理学的视角进行国际关系研究时,必须注意其适用性。

Psychological Analysis in the Study of International Relations

The perspective of psychology has long been in a marginal position in the study of international relations. However, it is irreplaceable in the understanding of international relations, especially of foreign policy decision making (FPDM). However, psychological analysis of international relations should mainly focus on the area of FPDM, especially on the problem of “how and to what extent cognition affects decision making”. In spite of the value of psychology in understanding international relations, we should also be aware of the limit of its applicability.
