摘要

惠灵顿公爵的外交政策基于一个简单的道德原则:本质上是对各种选择的评估,看它们是会减少还是会增加内乱的可能性。这一原则根植于“正派文化”,与流行的(但有人认为越来越不吸引人的)现实主义方法不相容。实施威灵顿政策(顺便说一句,这种政策不一定是外交政策)的一个主要障碍是不了解内乱的原因。然而,这一障碍是可以回避的:首先,通过越来越明确的观察,即在稳定的民主国家不会发生内乱和相关的严重侵犯人权行为;其次,通过文化理论对民主和非民主的更有区别的理解。总之,这两项发展为惠灵顿公爵根本无法获得的选项评估提供了基础。文章最后提出了三个尝试性的应用。

Don't Let It Put You Off Your Dinner: First Steps Towards Ethical Policies Shaped by Cultural Considerations
The Duke of Wellington's foreign policy was based on a simple ethical principle: essentially the assessment of options in terms of whether they would lessen or increase the likelihood of civil strife. This principle, being rooted in the “culture of decency,” is not compatible with the prevailing (but, it is argued, increasingly unattractive) realist approach. A major obstacle to the operationalization of Wellingtonian policy (which, incidentally, need not be foreign policy) is the lack of understanding of the causes of civil strife. This obstacle can, however, be side-stepped: first, by the increasingly well-established observation that civil strife, and related gross abuses of human rights, do not happen in stable democracies, and, second, by the more discriminating understanding of both democracy and nondemocracy that is provided by Cultural Theory. Together, these two developments offer a basis for option assessment that simply was not available to the Duke of Wellington. The article concludes with three tentative applications.
