Abstract

Abstract This article compares the trends and theoretical positions found in the recent academic literature on the status and trajectory of transatlantic relations with the beliefs of 96 German and US foreign policy experts. The qualitative data are derived from open-ended in-depth interviews about the political, economic, and cultural factors that influence transatlantic cooperation and friction. Conducted in Berlin in 2011 and in Washington, D.C., in 2017, the interviews correspond with optimist and pessimist perceptions found in the academic literature and align roughly with realist, respectively, liberal/institutionalist and constructivist theoretical positions in International Relations theory and left/right political leanings. The study concludes with suggestions about the prospects for transatlantic relations, and the methodological benefits of comparing beliefs of foreign policy actors with theoretical paradigms and trends in the academic literature.
这么多年过去了,还缺乏自我反省吗?德国和美国外交政策专家认为,2011年至2017年间大西洋两岸关系的稳定因素
摘要本文将近期学术文献中关于跨大西洋关系现状和发展轨迹的趋势和理论立场与96名德国和美国外交政策专家的观点进行比较。定性数据来源于关于影响跨大西洋合作和摩擦的政治、经济和文化因素的开放式深度访谈。访谈分别于2011年在柏林和2017年在华盛顿特区进行,访谈与学术文献中的乐观主义和悲观主义观点一致,并大致与现实主义、国际关系理论中的自由/制度主义和建构主义理论立场以及左/右政治倾向保持一致。本研究最后对跨大西洋关系的前景提出了建议,并将外交政策参与者的信念与学术文献中的理论范式和趋势进行比较,得出了方法论上的好处。
