摘要

自20世纪90年代末以来,安全的批判性研究已经形成了一个专业的研究领域-关键安全研究(CSS) -包括理论学派,期刊和学科叙述,讲述了它的诞生和发展。CSS作为一个与传统安全方法不同的独立研究领域的建立是一项了不起的成就,但也付出了代价。我们认为,这在冷战历史在CSS中发挥的有限作用方面尤其明显。该领域的学科叙事倾向于将冷战时期与传统的安全理论或战略研究混为一谈,从而淡化了在这场旷日持久的冲突中所阐述的批判性观点的独创性和重要性。强调冷战核军备竞赛与生态污染、民主、种族和非殖民化问题的深刻纠缠,我们认为这些交叉点值得作为CSS的知识先驱和基础重新审视。我们通过强调在冷战早期三个相互关联的地点形成的对传统安全思想的重要挑战来简要说明这一论点:1955年万隆会议,泛非洲对法国在阿尔及利亚进行核试验的抵制,以及非洲裔美国人的反核行动主义。

On history and authority: the Cold War nuclear arms race and its importance for critical security theory
ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, the critical study of security has crystallised into a professional field of study – Critical Security Studies (CSS) – complete with theoretical schools, journals, and disciplinary narratives that recount its birth and development. The establishment of CSS as a separate field of inquiry distinct from conventional approaches to security is a remarkable achievement but has also come at a price. We argue that this is especially apparent in relation to the limited role Cold War history plays in CSS. Disciplinary narratives of the field tend to conflate the Cold War period with conventional security theory or strategic studies, thus downplaying the originality and importance of critical perspectives articulated during this protracted conflict. Emphasising the deep entanglements of the Cold War nuclear arms race with questions of ecological contamination, democracy, race, and decolonisation, we argue that these intersections are worth revisiting as intellectual precursors and foundations for CSS. We briefly illustrate this argument by highlighting important challenges to conventional security thinking that were formulated at three interconnected sites during the early Cold War: the 1955 Bandung Conference, Pan-African resistance to French nuclear testing in Algeria, and African-American anti-nuclear activism.
