Currently, the definition of security that was put forward in 1952 by Arnold Wolfers in his article “National Security as an Ambiguous Symbol” is widely cited within the field of security studies while the definition of this concept that have been advanced by Walter Lippmann in his book from 1943, “US foreign policy: Shield of the Republic” is largely absent, a situation which hinders the turning into a research topic of the connections between these definitions. However, there are authors who cite both the definition of security advanced by Wolfers and the definition of it put forward by Lippmann, but they either do not mention the existence of connections between these definitions or take notice of them but do not investigate them, with the consequence that a thoughtful consideration of this problem is lacking. In order to fill this gap in the study of the early stages of the development of security studies, this article provides an in-depth investigation of the links between the two definitions of security which reveals that Wolfers’ reflection on security was meant to explain implicit aspects of Lippmann’s definition of this concept but that eventually and somehow unintentional Wolfers advanced a different perspective on security.
目前，安全研究领域广泛引用了阿诺德·沃尔弗斯(Arnold Wolfers) 1952年在《国家安全作为一个模糊的符号》(National security as a Ambiguous Symbol)一文中对安全的定义，而沃尔特·李普曼(Walter Lippmann)在1943年出版的《美国外交政策:共和国之盾》(US foreign policy: Shield of the Republic)一书中对安全概念的定义却基本缺失，这种情况阻碍了这些定义之间联系的研究课题。然而，有些作者既引用了Wolfers对安全的定义，也引用了Lippmann对安全的定义，但他们要么没有提到这些定义之间存在联系，要么注意到了它们，但没有对它们进行研究，结果是缺乏对这个问题的深思熟虑。为了填补安全研究发展的早期阶段研究中的这一空白，本文对两种安全定义之间的联系进行了深入的调查，这表明沃尔弗斯对安全的反思是为了解释李普曼对这一概念定义的隐含方面，但最终和不知怎的无意中，沃尔弗斯提出了不同的安全观点。
