Abstract

Abstract This article brings leftist-oriented foreign policy ideas into dialogue with mainstream grand strategy literature. It argues that American progressives seek a durable security comprised of peace, democracy, and equality, meaning the grand strategies discoverable within progressive thinking are ultimately projects of worldmaking. Since leftist thought is eclectic, it gives rise to not one but three ideal-type progressive grand strategies. Progressive pragmatism treats oligarchy and kleptocracy as threats, sustains military commitments to democratic allies only, and prioritizes equality at the level of the global political economy. Antihegemonism is a project of robust restraint, positing that US power per se makes the United States and others less secure. Peacemaking aims to change the valence of world politics. It combines a cooperative security regime and gradual disarmament with nonviolent peacebuilding and support for democracy movements. These modes of progressive reasoning entail their own assumptions, wagers, and risks.

自由国际主义的左派:进步外交政策思想中的大战略

本文将左翼外交政策思想与主流大战略文献进行对话。它认为，美国进步主义者寻求由和平、民主和平等组成的持久安全，这意味着进步思想中发现的大战略最终是世界塑造的项目。由于左派思想是折衷的，它产生了不是一种而是三种理想型进步大战略。进步实用主义将寡头政治和盗贼统治视为威胁，只维持对民主盟友的军事承诺，并在全球政治经济层面优先考虑平等。反霸权主义是一项强有力的克制计划，它假定美国的力量本身会使美国和其他国家更不安全。维持和平的目的是改变世界政治的价值。它将合作安全制度和逐步裁军与非暴力建设和平和支持民主运动结合起来。这些渐进推理模式包含了它们自己的假设、赌注和风险。

期刊介绍： Security Studies publishes innovative scholarly manuscripts that make a significant contribution – whether theoretical, empirical, or both – to our understanding of international security. Studies that do not emphasize the causes and consequences of war or the sources and conditions of peace fall outside the journal’s domain. Security Studies features articles that develop, test, and debate theories of international security – that is, articles that address an important research question, display innovation in research, contribute in a novel way to a body of knowledge, and (as appropriate) demonstrate theoretical development with state-of-the art use of appropriate methodological tools. While we encourage authors to discuss the policy implications of their work, articles that are primarily policy-oriented do not fit the journal’s mission. The journal publishes articles that challenge the conventional wisdom in the area of international security studies. Security Studies includes a wide range of topics ranging from nuclear proliferation and deterrence, civil-military relations, strategic culture, ethnic conflicts and their resolution, epidemics and national security, democracy and foreign-policy decision making, developments in qualitative and multi-method research, and the future of security studies.
