摘要

拉尔夫·邦奇是第一位获得诺贝尔和平奖的非裔美国人,他是一位坚定的反帝国主义者,是一位反对种族主义和争取公民权利的斗士。然而,他作为联合国秘书长驻刚果特别代表的行动和露面,使他看起来对非洲独立充满敌意,是一个(新殖民主义)“白人”,质疑他反帝国主义和反种族主义的诚意。文章认为,Bunche的困境是联合国宣布的反种族主义和反帝国主义与其维持和平和建设和平政治之间存在的悖论的典范,而维持和平和和平政治实际上是世界秩序的准帝国政治。文章剖析了拉尔夫·邦切对国际体系、非洲和刚果的写作和思考,以了解个人的反种族主义承诺如何与国际政治和法律中的系统性种族主义共存,甚至共同构成。除了对联合国维和与建设和平的核心创始人物的思想提供重要见解外,这篇文章还为正在进行的关于欧洲中心主义和国际政治中种族的讨论做出了贡献。

Ralph Bunche and the Colour of Sovereignty: Exploring the Eurocentrism of the United Nations' First Peacekeeper

Ralph Bunche, the first African American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, was a committed anti-imperialist, a fighter against racism and for civil rights. And yet, his action and appearance as special representative of the United Nations Secretary-General in the Congo, made him appear as hostile to African independence and as a (neo-colonial) “blanc,” questioning the sincerity of his anti-imperialism as well as his anti-racism. The article argues that Bunche's dilemma is paradigmatic for the paradox that exists between the United Nations' (UN) declared anti-racism and anti-imperialism, on the one hand, and its politics of peacekeeping and peacebuilding which are effectively a quasi-imperial politics of world order, on the other. The article dissects Ralph Bunche's writing and thinking on the international system, Africa and the Congo in order to understand how individual anti-racist commitment can co-exist, or even be co-constitutive of, systemic racism of international politics and law. Apart from providing important insights into the thought of a central founding figure of UN peacekeeping and peacebuilding, the article contributes, hence, to ongoing discussions on Eurocentrism and race in international politics.
