活动简介

EVENT INTRODUCTION

近些年来，中国的发展与崛起有目共睹，在国际关系一些传统学派的观点中，中国正在以不可预测的方式破坏全球力量平衡。然而，这个超级大国在地区安全问题上，往往选择尊重邻国间的共识，而不是采取高压强硬手段去摆平纷争。中国为何保持克制，又在何时选择让步？国际关系传统理论中的种种假设，是否还能够解释中国的治国之道与外交策略呢？

哥大全球中心与哥大魏德海东亚研究所邀请您参加耶鲁-新加坡国立大学学院政治系副教授Chin-Hao Huang《中国崛起中的权力与克制》（Power and Restraint in China's Rise）新书研讨会。该书从别具一格的视角与理论框架出发，帮助观众理解中国作为一个崛起中的发展中国家、一个在国际社会上担任日益重要角色的“头号玩家”、一个地处复杂地缘政治生态的超级大国，如何利用“实力”处理双边和多边关系，又为何在某些国际议题上选择“退一步，海阔天空”。

Conventional wisdom holds that China's rise is disrupting the global balance of power in unpredictable ways. However, China has often deferred to the consensus of smaller neighboring countries on regional security rather than running roughshod over them. Why and when does China exercise restraint—and how does this aspect of Chinese statecraft challenge the assumptions of international relations theory?

Columbia Global Centers | Beijing and the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University invite you to attend a book talk and panel discussion on "Power and Restraint in China's Rise", featuring the author Chin-Hao Huang, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Yale-NUS College. From a unique perspective and theoretical framework, the book talk and discussion aim to help audiences understand how China——a rising developing country, an "active player" playing an increasingly important role in the international community, a superpower located in a complex geopolitical ecology, uses its "power" to handle bilateral and multilateral relations, and why to choose to "take a step back" on some international issues.

关于本书

ABOUT THE BOOK

在

《中国崛起中的权力与克制》（Power and Restraint in China's Rise）

一书中，作者

Chin-Hao Huang阐述，一个崛起的大国在国际舞台上愿意参与融合，这本身就是采取克制而避免采取强硬手段的逻辑

。通过分析中国在南海的外交政策与行为，他指出由于中国遵守地区规范和接受约束，其他国家改变了对中国的看法也逐渐认可中国是负责任的大国。

Huang

详细介绍了东南亚国家联盟成员国如何采取集体方式去化解海上争端，并进一步激励中国改变立场，转而支持其此前抵制的地区安全倡议。

基于这一实证分析，Huang对为什么大国在寻求合法性时通常更倾向于采取克制而不是咄咄逼人的策略提出了新的理论观点。书中的框架解释了为什么一个雄心勃勃的大国会考虑小国的观点和利益，以及集体行动如何塑造大国行为的改变。这本书对中国近期外交政策变化的原因和后果提出了新见解，对未来分析与理解中国的外交政策具有重要指导意义。

In Power and Restraint in China's Rise, Chin-Hao Huang argues that a rising power's aspirations for acceptance provide a key rationale for refraining from coercive measures. He analyzes Chinese foreign policy conduct in the South China Sea, showing how complying with regional norms and accepting constraints improves external perceptions of China and advances other states' recognition of China as legitimate power. Huang details how member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have taken a collective approach to defuse tension in maritime disputes, incentivizing China to support regional security initiatives that it had previously resisted.

Drawing on this empirical analysis, Huang develops new theoretical perspectives on why great powers eschew coercion in favor of restraint when they seek legitimacy. His framework explains why a dominant state with rising ambitions takes the views and interests of small states into account, as well as how collective action can induce change in a major power's behavior. Offering new insight into the causes and consequences of change in recent Chinese foreign policy, this book has significant implications for the future of engagement with China.

ACADEMIC MODERATOR

Nick R. Smith

巴纳德学院

建筑与城市研究学系

助理教授

作为城市转型和规划领域的学者，Smith将城市作为一个机构进行探索，并将城市规划视作建设机构的过程。他结合新制度经济学、发展人类学和城市社会学的视角，研究了城市化如何将“游戏规则”铭刻到城市空间中。在新的城市化形式产生和竞争造成的不稳定、临界和快速变化的背景下，他将民族志、空间分析和档案研究相结合，主要通过对城郊村庄的调查来研究这些过程。

Nick R. Smith is an Assistant Professor of Architecture and Urban Studies at Barnard College. Smith is a scholar of urban transformation and planning. His work explores the city as an institution and planning as a process of institution building. Combining the perspectives of new institutional economics, development anthropology, and urban sociology, Smith investigates how urbanization inscribes the "rules of the games" into the space of the city. Using a combination of ethnography, spatial analysis, and archival research, he primarily pursues these processes through investigations of peri-urban villages—contexts of instability, liminality, and rapid change where new forms of urbanization are produced and contested.
