国际关系理论

Occupational Hazards
A 2009 Choice Magazine "Outstanding Academic Title" Few would contest that the U.S. occupation of Iraq is a clear example of just how fraught a military occupation can become. In Occupational Hazards, David M. Edelstein elucidates the occasional successes of military occupations and their more frequent failures. Edelstein has identified twenty-six cases since 1815 in which an outside power seized control of a territory where the occupying party had no long-term claim on sovereignty. In a book that has implications for present-day policy, he draws evidence from such historical cases as well as from four current occupations—Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq—where the outcome is not yet known. Occupation is difficult, in Edelstein's view, because ambitious goals require considerable time and resources, yet both the occupied population and the occupying power want occupation to end quickly and inexpensively; in drawn-out occupations, impatience grows and resources dwindle. This combination sabotages the occupying power's ability to accomplish two tasks: convince an occupied population to suppress its nationalist desires and sustain its own commitment to the occupation. Structural conditions and strategic choices play crucial roles in the success or failure of an occupation. In describing those factors, Edelstein prescribes a course of action for the future. -
美国对外政策
《美国对外政策(第2版·修订增补本)》全景式地介绍了美国对外政策的形成机制。几位作者从美国宪法、行政体系研究出发,结合美国政治学和国际关系学的各种研究方法,从制定原则、制定机制和制定主体等视角对美国对外政策进行了深入透彻的剖析。他们不仅揭示了美国对外政策的基础,描述了美国对外政策的机制,而且详细介绍了各类主体及它们在美国对外政策制定过程中所发挥的作用。 几位作者提出在美国的国际承诺中存在某种锁定效应:一旦美国出现在某个地区,它就难以完全放弃它在那里的作用和责任,其对外政策倾向于承担更多的责任和实现更大的集中度。这种机制加强了美国在国际体系中的中心地位,也有助于美国形成某些持久的对外政策特点。同时美国的对外政策也体现出一些规律:内倾加稳定和外倾加扩张阶段的交替;权力总统化和国会与市民社会权力上升的交替:乐观干预主义和悲观保守主义的交替:偏好对抗和偏好和解的交替。 美国的对外政策是多种机制、多方主体、多项因素共同作用下的产物。尽管美国总统代表所有美国人对外发出唯一的声音,但是美国对外政策的制定过程无疑是一个多方主体参与、经过充分辩论、领导者审慎决策的过程。美国并非铁板一块,只是辩论各方的意见最终都汇总到作为决策中枢的总统,由他加以对外表达罢了。
