【摘要】从越南到阿富汗,美国领导人在摆脱远程军事干预方面一直存在巨大困难。威廉·麦金利在
1898 年吞并菲律宾的决定揭示了原因:这源于一个“干预者陷阱”的现象。干预者陷阱指的是一种自我
纠缠的情况,即领导人通过军事干预无意中制造了问题,并认为自己可以解决,且因为最初干预的缘
故,从而更加重视解决新问题。这种过度的评估是由于一种被称作禀赋效应的认知偏差:个体倾向于
高估他们自己拥有的物品。军事干预会导致对他国领土的所有权感,这就触发了禀赋效应。1809 年,
美国在马尼拉的战争中取得胜利后,麦金利怀疑菲律宾的自治能力,相信美国从菲律宾撤出将会导致
混乱和大国战争,同时他相信美国的治理可以阻止这种局面的产生。因为麦金利已经在菲律宾部署了
军队,他会对这些军队产生所有权,同时这种禀赋效应会助涨他对菲律宾群岛的评估。这些相互强化
的信念产生了干预者陷阱,成为美国在西半球之外最大规模的吞并。
【原文】From Vietnam to Afghanistan, U.S. leaders have had great difficulty disentangling the United States
from faraway military interventions. William McKinley's 1898 decision to annex the Philippines reveals why,
through a phenomenon called the “meddler's trap.” The meddler's trap denotes a situation of self-entanglement,
whereby a leader inadvertently creates a problem through military intervention, feels they can solve it, and
values solving the new problem more because of the initial intervention. The inflated valuation is driven by a
cognitive bias called the endowment effect, according to which individuals tend to overvalue goods they feel
they own. A military intervention causes a feeling of ownership of the foreign territory, triggering the
endowment effect. Following the U.S. victory in Manila during the War of 1898, McKinley doubted Filipino
civilizational capacity to self-govern, believed that a U.S. departure from the Philippines would cause chaos
and great power war, and believed that U.S. governance could forestall that outcome. Because he had already
deployed troops to the Philippines, McKinley also felt ownership over them, and this endowment effect
inflated his valuation of the archipelago. Together, these mutually reinforcing beliefs produced the meddler's
trap and the United States’ largest annexation outside its hemisphere.
3. 种族化和国际安全(Racialization and International Security)
Richard W. Maass,美国欧道明大学政治学教授
【摘要】种族化—即将种族身份和影响融入社会和政治现象的过程;是一种权力的主张,一种对所谓
固有差异的主张,这种差异已经渗透到现代外交、秩序和暴力中。尽管该领域一直对权力保持兴趣,
但美国的国际安全研究在长达数十年对国际冲突和合作、核扩散、权力转移、单极化、内战、恐怖主
义、国际秩序、大战略等的辩论中,很大程度上遗漏了种族这一元素。一个新的框架奠定了概念基础,
将相关的文献和在国际安全的主要研究联系起来,培养跨学科对话,同时为考虑公开的和内嵌的种族
化如何塑造国际安全的研究和实践开辟了有前景的道路。对整合种族化到现有和新的研究议程中的若
干研究设计挑战的讨论帮助学者重新思考他们如何对待种族与安全问题。除了使教学本身多样化之外,
揭示和反击固有的偏见对确定可替代的观点是如何被边缘化以及最终发展更好的理论是至关重要的。
【原文】Racialization—the processes that infuse social and political phenomena with racial identities and
implications—is an assertion of power, a claim of purportedly inherent differences that has saturated modern
diplomacy, order, and violence. Despite the field's consistent interest in power, international security studies
in the United States largely omitted racial dynamics from decades of debates about international conflict and
cooperation, nuclear proliferation, power transitions, unipolarity, civil wars, terrorism, international order,
grand strategy, and other subjects. A new framework lays conceptual bedrock, links relevant literatures to
major research agendas in international security, cultivates interdisciplinary dialogues, and charts promising
paths to consider how overt and embedded racialization shape the study and practice of international security.
