国家主权理论探析

从国家主权理论与实践的结合出发,可以提出两个新概念:国家主权的本质与国家主权的行使。国家主权的本质是对国家主权的理论表述,国家主权的行使是对国家主权的实践表现。在国家主权发展的历史中,主权本质与主权行使不仅具有同一性的一面,而且具有分离性(矛盾性)的一面。人们对国家主权的认识以及国家主权理论的发展是基于对主权同一性的认识,而主权的困境则是由实践中主权本质与主权行使的分离性所导致的。区分国家主权的本质与国家主权的行使,有利于解决经济全球化条件下国家主权所面临的困境问题。

An Analysis on Theory of State Sovereignty

To meet various challenges in the age of economic globalization, the article explores theory of sovereignty and puts forward two new terms from combining theory and practice of state sovereignty. One is the essence of sovereignty. The other is the exercise of sovereignty. The essence of sovereignty is the expression of sovereignty in the theory, and the exercise of sovereignty is the show of sovereignty in the practice. Based on these, it exams the relations between the essence and exercise of sovereignty in the historic development of sovereign theory and practice, and also probes the problems of identity and separation (or contradiction) between the essence and exercise of sovereignty. The sovereign knowledge of people and the development of sovereign theory are based on the understanding for sovereign identity. The main reason of the sovereign predicament is the separation between the essence and exercise of sovereignty in the practice. It is helpful to resolve the problem of sovereign predicament in the age of economic globalization to distinguish the essence and exercise of sovereignty.
