摘要
20世纪90年代,国际关系学与国际法学开始走上了相互借鉴、学习的道路。国际关系学者和法学研究者在遵约研究方面具有共同的议程,遵约研究已经成为国际关系理论的重要方面。遵约被国际关系学界用来衡量制度的因果影响,具有一定的客观性。但是,遵约与国际制度有效性之间并不具有必然的联系,遵约是对制度因果关系的误读。此外,认识论、方法论上及分析层次、内生性问题上也对遵约研究提出了挑战。遵约研究对制度有效性的启示在于:应该慎重选择衡量结果的指标,从而准确评估制度对国家政策和行为的因果影响。
The ＇1990s saw a surge in cross-disciplinary work in the fields of international relations and international law. International relations scholars and international law scholars found themselves with a common agenda with respect to research on compliance, as the study of compliance became a critical part of international relations theory. Scholars of International Relations used compliance as a litmus test of the causal influence of institutions. While such tests offer a degree of objectivity, they do not necessarily confirm a relationship between compliance and the effectiveness of international institutions. Compliance then is a misreading of the institutional causal relationship. At the same time compliance research is also challenged epistemologically, methodologically and by its inherent endogeneity problem. Compliance research does offer an important lesson for understanding the effectiveness of institutions： researchers must carefully select indicators in assessing causality so that they can accurately determine the causal impact of institutions on a state＇s policies and behavior.
