摘要
基欧汉等新自由制度主义者以经济学逻辑推演出国际机制维持的两大决定因素:成员国之间的权力差距和国际机制的治理绩效。合法性没有纳入其分析的框架。国际机制属于制度范畴,制度合法性对于制度(国内制度)的稳定具有举足轻重的作用,大量的理论和经验研究都对此作出了说明。既然合法性的作用不容忽视,那么国际机制维持与合法性存在何种联系。国际机制的合法性来源何在?本文对这一问题进行了简要的分析,认为机制合法性可以降低国际机制的维持成本,机制合法性既来源于其自身的效率,也来源于国际社会的主导性共有观念。
From the perspective of economic logic, Keohane and some other neo-liberal institutionalists infer the two determinants of the maintenance of international regime ——power gap and regime performance. Regime legitimacy is excluded from their analytical framework. International regime belongs to the category of institution. Institutional legitimacy is essential for the stability of institutions (domestic institutions), which is justified by a lot of theoretical and empirical studies. Since legitimacy is important, what is the connection between regime legitimacy and the maintenance of international regime? What is the source of regime legitimacy? This article analyzes the question briefly and concludes that regime legitimacy can reduce the cost of regime maintenance, and regime legitimacy is not only rooted in regime efficiency but also rooted in the dominantly shared ideas of international society.
