Abstract

Over the last decade, relations between the state and its citizens have changed in the fields of diplomacy and, more generally, foreign policy in some Western democracies. Both sides have begun to transform their roles through novel formats of citizen dialogue and participation. The full breadth and depth of these phenomena remain understudied, despite the fact that they constitute an important catalyst of the apparent ‘societisation’, or even further democratisation, of diplomacy. Based on our analyses of participatory formats in German diplomacy, we offer insights into the transformative potential of this development and discuss to what extent it simultaneously perpetuates unequal power relations. In order to further scrutinise these preliminary hypotheses on how the complex relationship between state diplomacy and domestic society is currently changing, we propose a new research agenda on citizen participation in foreign policy.
重塑公民在外交和外交政策中的角色:初步见解和新的研究议程
在过去的十年里,国家和公民之间的关系在外交领域发生了变化,更广泛地说,在一些西方民主国家,外交政策也发生了变化。双方已经开始通过公民对话和参与的新形式转变角色。这些现象的全部广度和深度仍未得到充分研究,尽管它们构成了明显的“社会化”,甚至是进一步的外交民主化的重要催化剂。基于我们对德国外交参与式模式的分析,我们对这种发展的变革潜力提出了见解,并讨论了它在多大程度上同时延续了不平等的权力关系。为了进一步审视这些关于国家外交与国内社会之间复杂关系如何变化的初步假设,我们提出了一个关于公民参与外交政策的新研究议程。
