三种现实主义理论及其对中国的启示--经典现实主义、防御型现实主义与政府中心型现实主义

西方国际关系理论经典文献提供了解释国家行为的两个外交政策理论--经典现实主义和防御型现实主义.经典现实主义认为,国家扩张是因为它能够扩张;而防御型现实主义认为,国家扩张是因为它不得不扩张.而扎卡利亚的"政府中心型现实主义"理论,在保留了经典现实主义核心内核的同时,认为外交政策是政府制定的,而不是作为一个整体的国家制定的.三种理论对于正在崛起的中国,将有很大的启示.

Three Theories of Realism and their Enlightenment to China --classical realism, defensive realism, and government-centered realism

The classical documents of western international relations theories offer two theories of domestic policies to interpret national behavior: classical realism and defensive realism. Classical realism states that the country expands because it can expand; defensive realism argues that the country expands because it has to expand. However, "government-centered realism" theory proposed by Zakaria, while keeping the core of classical realism, thinks that foreign policies are made by government, not by the whole country.Three kinds of theories will be great enlightenment to China on its rise.
