Abstract

The article is devoted to the influence that concept of state has upon understand­ing of state interest in structural realism. Turns out that state interest in structural realism is imposed upon state by the very structure of international system, which may be one of key factors in normative turn of structural realism. We claim that it is only possible because structural realism tries to ignore inner structure of the state or present it as “contingent” factors “outside the system”. Presenting state as an “individual” allows to ignore its de facto interests and present struc­ture-formed interests as objective and desirable ones. The claim that the struc­ture-imposed interests are the only authentic and important ones in international relations transforms structural realism into normative theory that demands the states to act uniformly according to these interests. The main danger is that structural realism has potential to raise distrust among states, while removing re­sponsibility from statesmen, who are fulfilling “objective” interests in their states.

结构现实主义的规范性与国家概念
文章主要探讨了国家概念对理解结构现实主义中的国家利益的影响。结果发现,结构现实主义中的国家利益是国际体系结构本身强加给国家的,这可能是结构现实主义规范转向的关键因素之一。我们认为,之所以会出现这种情况,是因为结构现实主义试图忽视国家的内在结构,或将其视为 "体系外 "的 "偶然 "因素。将国家作为 "个体 "呈现,就可以忽略其事实上的利益,而将结构形成的利益呈现为客观和理想的利益。结构强加的利益是国际关系中唯一真实和重要的利益,这一主张将结构现实主义转变为规范理论,要求国家按照这些利益统一行动。结构现实主义的主要危险在于,它有可能引发国家间的不信任,同时使在本国实现 "客观 "利益的政治家不再承担责任。
