摘要
国际关系的大理论是对国际体系进行解释的理论。在这个层次,始终存在着各种争论。对照现实可以看到,现实主义、自由制度主义和建构主义实际上阐释的是国际体系的不同属性。由于国际体系原本就具有多元的属性,因此我们需要有多元的解释。建立这样的解释,把几种主流大理论的核心假定糅合在一起大概是不可行的,人们可以做的也许只能是在解释现实时对不同理论进行综合运用。这种综合解释模式本身所需要的不是一种万能的理论,而是多种精到的理论。在这种解释中,每一种理论都是有用的工具。把不同的理论工具组合起来,就可以求得对现实问题的比较全面的理解。
Grand theories of IR attempt to explain the international system. In this respect, there are various debates among the different theories. Contrasting with the reality, one can find that realism, liberal institutionalism, and constructivism explain different attributes respectively. Because the international system is characterized by multi-attributes, we need muftiexplanations. To do so, it is impossible to mk the grand theories together. Perhaps reality can only be explained by using the various theories in a synthetic way. Such a synthetic explanation model does not require an all-purpose theory, but many different perfected theories. According to this model, all theories are instruments. By combining the use of different theoretical instruments, one can obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the reality.
