中外双边高层经济对话机制形成中的理性与规范.pdf

摘 要 近年来，中国与美国、日本、欧盟等重要经贸伙伴先后建立了中美战略经 济对话、中日经济高层对话和中欧经贸高层对话等较高级别的双边经济对话机 制。较之于双方既有的经济沟通机制，新出现的中外双边高层经济对话机制涵 盖的功能领域更为广泛、制度效用也更为出色，不仅使中国与上述经济体之间 的沟通机制日益完备，制度化程度进一步增强，而且也受到政府和国际关系学 界的日益重视。 国际制度是如何形成的是当代国际制度研究中的一个重要的研究领域。新 制度主义在经济学和社会学不同的学科背景下发展出了新制度经济学和组织社 会学两种不同的解释框架，相应也存在着理性选择制度主义和社会学制度主义 这两种制度分析路径。 本文针对中外双边高层经济对话机制的研究正是遵循着两种不同的理论路 径的争辩展开。首先在理性选择制度主义的理论框架下考察中外双边高层经济 沟通机制发展的理性动因、制度偏好，并运用国际制度理性设计的模型对制度 的差异和变化进行解释；继而引入组织社会学的研究路径，在“强意义合法性” 和“弱意义合法性”下对于机制形成过程中规范的重要作用进行说明，并针对 机制的趋同性提出社会学意义下的解释。 Abstract China established a series of Sino-Foreign Bilateral High-Level Economic Dialogues with its key trading partners in the recent years, among which China-US Strategic Economic Dialogue、China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue、 China-Japan High-Level Economic Dialogue are the best known.
