The Research On Critical Theory Of International Relations Of Western Marxism By Linklater

Andrew Linklater was born in Aberdeen,England.He is a well-known contemporary scholar of international relations theory and one of the representatives of Western Marxist critical theory of international relations.He became famous in the early 1980 s.As the trilogy of Linklater,“People and Citizens in International Relations”,“Beyond Realism and Marxism”,and “Transformation of Political Community” have given him an important academic position in the academic community of international relations theory.Linklater's construction of his critical theory of international relations has certain uniqueness.First,break before standing.The introduction of Marxist critical tools into the theory of international relations has strongly criticized realism,and believes that the moral thought of Marxist political theory must also be inherited and developed.Then,referring to Habermas' s critical method of Marxism,the perspective of critical social theory was changed from “production paradigm” to “dialog paradigm”,and the method of reconstructing historical materialism was used in the follow-up research of international relations theory.Second,research methods that combine multiple disciplines.Putting the method of multidisciplinary comprehensive analysis in the study of international relations theory makes the combination of macro and micro levels continuously widen the horizon of thinking problems,and then break through the rigidity of ideas.Third,the purpose of constructing critical theory of international relations is clear.The realization of human liberation is the ultimate goal of Linklater's construction of critical theory.He combines cosmopolitanism and critical theory in normative theory,and advocates combining different levels of loyalty to cultivate good international citizens and then to communicate through global discourse Realize the ethical life of the human community.Linklater believes that the theory of international relations is not only a theory of problem solving,but also a theory of human liberation and development.With the continuous development of globalization,the world has gradually become a whole of benefit sharing and responsibility sharing.In the face of the complexity of relations between countries and the highlight of global social issues,mainstream positivism-based international relations theories gradually lack corresponding the rationality of the reality,the research value of non-mainstream international relations theory has gradually entered people's vision.At present,the theoretical system of China's international relations is not yet perfect,and it is influenced by mainstream international relations theories.It pays less attention to the theory of international relations represented by Western Marxism.The critical theory of Western Marxism represented by Linklater was born in Europe.To a certain extent,it has got rid of the influence of the American political,economic and ideological environment.His critical theory of international relations has a certain degree of agreement with the theoretical concepts of China's international relations,and has certain enlightening significance for the construction and improvement of the theoretical system of China's international relations.This article will specifically discuss from the following five parts.The first part first introduces the selection basis and research significance of Linklater's critical theory of international relations,clarifying its critical theory of international relations helps us to have a more comprehensive understanding of Marxist theory of international relations,and continues to build and improve the theoretical system of China's international relations Inspiring.Secondly,the review of the research status of Linklater's critical theory of international relations at home and abroad further clarifies the research direction and significance of this article.Finally,the research methods,innovations and shortcomings of this paper are briefly listed.The second part defines the relevant concepts of Linklater's critical theory of international relations and deeply explores the theoretical background and theoretical origin of Linklater's critical theory of international relations.The third part sorts out and elaborate the research topics of Linklater's critical theory of international relations,including community issues,citizenship issues and injury issues,and then sorts out the characteristics of Linklater's critical theory of international relations and its realization opportunities.The fourth part analyzes the rationality and limitation of Linklater's critical theory of international relations from the perspective of Marxism.Based on the fourth part,the fifth part focuses on the comparative study of the critical theory of Linklater's international relations and the theory of China's international relations,combs out the link between the critical theory of Linklater's international relations and the theory of China's international relations,and then dialectically It summarizes the useful inspiration that Linklater's critical theory of international relations provides for the construction and improvement of China's international relations theory,especially diplomatic thought theory.
