西方国际关系理论的“进步”意识形态

自启蒙运动以来,“进步”作为一种信念,逐渐渗入到包括国际关系在内的人文科学。尽管冷战的结束证明了西方国际关系理论在追求“进步”上的失败,但作为意识形态工具的“进步”在西方国际关系理论中却取得了“长足”进步:就西方国际关系理论而言,它是这一学科本身及其内部等级划分的合法化证明;而就西方国际关系理论所关注的外部世界而言,它又成为了“西方中心论”的合法化证明。正是这种“进步”意识形态的存在,使得打破西方国际关系理论的话语霸权显得异常必需与紧迫,使得有中国特色的国际关系理论的发展更显迫切。

But the idea of progress has been become a tool of legitimacy; to legitimate the international relations as a discipline and western domination of the theory. Therefore, the international relations theory with Chinese character is under great pressure.
