摘要

对国家行为的理性行为者模型的承诺被认为是现实主义理论的一个核心假设。这一假设在大多数关于现实主义的教科书中都有列出。然而,理性是现实主义理论的核心假设吗?如果是,在这些主张中隐含着什么样的理性?关于现实主义和理性之间关系的争论充满了误解。作者们以不同而矛盾的方式使用理性、理性主义和理性行为者等术语。本文旨在打破这种混乱,并提供这些术语在国际关系领域使用的不同方式的说明。我们认为,国际关系中围绕理性主义/理性的许多混淆是由于未能区分作为认识论立场的理性主义(观察者理性假设)和作为本体论立场的理性(理性行为者假设)。我们利用这一区别来仔细考察现实主义理论中理性主义/理性概念之间的关系。

Rationalism and the “rational actor assumption” in realist international relations theory
The commitment to the rational actor model of state behavior is said to be a core assumption of realist theory. This assumption is listed in most textbook accounts of realism. Yet is rationality a core supposition of realist theory, and if so, what kind of rationality is implied in these claims? Debate on the relationship between realism, and what is often labeled as rationality is replete with misunderstandings. Authors deploy terms such as rationality, rationalism, and rational actor in diverse and contradictory ways. This article aims to cut through this confusion and provide an account of the different ways in which these terms are used in the field of International Relations (IR). We argue that much of the confusion surrounding rationalism/rationality in IR arises due to a failure to distinguish between rationalism as an epistemological position (the observer rationality assumption) and rationality as an ontological position (the rational actor assumption). We use this distinction to examine carefully the relationship between the concepts of rationalism/rationality in realist theory.
