摘要本文探讨了二十世纪早期英联邦意识形态作为与帝国相关的欧洲怀疑主义的历史先驱，特别关注雷金纳德·库普兰（Reginald Coupland，1884-1952）和阿尔弗雷德·齐默恩（Alfred Zimmern，1879-1957）的思想。它表明，致力于倡导英联邦的自由国际主义者，库普兰和齐默恩试图通过将帝国描绘成一个和谐的、多机构的政体，以一种所谓的良性形式的民族主义和国际主义为基础，来宣扬一种理想化的帝国观。这篇文章还强调了当时英联邦项目中一个相对被忽视的意识形态来源：埃德蒙·伯克。库普兰和齐默恩以伯克思想的各个方面为基础——分别是他对信任和礼仪的描述——来描述他们对帝国的计划。此外，这些伯克元素帮助他们区分了他们所设想的英联邦国家和大陆国家（其中包括德国）的制度。这篇文章将库普兰和齐默恩的帝国计划作为将伯克的思想纳入早世纪英联邦账户的两个重要案例。
ABSTRACTThis article examines early twentieth-century British Commonwealth ideologies as historical precursors of empire-related Euroscepticism, with a particular focus on the thought of Reginald Coupland (1884–1952) and Alfred Zimmern (1879–1957). It shows that the liberal internationalists committed to advocating the Commonwealth, Coupland and Zimmern sought to promote an idealized view of the empire by portraying it as a harmonious and multiagency polity grounded in a supposed benign form of nationalism and internationalism. The essay also highlights a relatively disregarded ideological source of the British Commonwealth projects at the time: Edmund Burke. Coupland and Zimmern built on aspects of Burke’s thought – respectively, his account of trust and manners – to characterize their schemes for the empire. Moreover, such Burkean elements helped them to distinguish between the systems of their envisaged Commonwealth and Continental states, among others, Germany. The essay presents Coupland’s and Zimmern’s imperial projects as two significant cases of the incorporation of Burke’s thought into the early century British Commonwealth accounts.
