摘要国际关系学者一直不愿探讨国际体系中的友谊问题。这可能是（新）现实主义在国际关系中占主导地位及其影响的结果--将国际竞技场视为一个无政府的自助系统，国家陷入安全困境。然而，在过去60年中，一些地区克服了安全困境，各国在相互信任和信心的基础上建立了和平关系，类似于国家间的友谊。本文以安全化理论为基础，区分了各国对自身安全的不同看法，并将其与不同类型的地区和平联系起来。它提出了一个两阶段的过程，关系可能会从消极走向积极的和平，并建议每个阶段的不同机制。它通过审查1970年代后期阿根廷-巴西的缓和以及在拉丁美洲南锥体建立积极和平区的决心来说明这一模式。
Abstract International Relations scholars have been reluctant to engage with questions of friendship in the international system. This may be a consequence of the predominance of (neo)realism in IR and its implications – to view the international arena as an anarchic, self‐help system, where states are trapped in the security dilemma. However, over the last six decades, some regions have overcome the security dilemma and states have constructed peaceful relationships based on mutual trust and confidence, resembling friendship at the interstate level. Building upon securitization theory, this essay distinguishes between different perceptions that states may have of their own security, and links them with different types of regional peace. It proposes a two‐phase process whereby relationships may move from negative to positive peace, suggesting different mechanisms for each phase. It illustrates this model by examining the Argentine–Brazilian détente of the late 1970s and the determination to build a zone of positive peace in Latin America’s Southern Cone.
