项目摘要

Trust is an interesting phenomenon which has found little attention in the discipline of international relations. In the second stage of the research project Trust, don`t verify - Towards a theory of strong trust in International Relations we will investigate variables which support or inhibit trust building by states towards other states. In this research, we focus on the field of interstate security and go back to the conceptual and methodological toolset that was developed in the first project stage. We apply this toolset to an analysis of German foreign policy towards Russia, France and the United States. We conceptualize our dependent variable, trust at the level of nation states, as a foreign policy discourse which is characterized by a specific set of assumptions about the character of the other state. In order to capture this trusting discourse and trace its pervasiveness over time, we utilize the content analytical categories that were developed in the first stage of the project. This method allows us to trace changing levels of trust over time. We have identified several candidates for independent variables which may influence the process of trust building in different ways: sending and receiving costly signals, individual contact between decision makers, bureaucrats and the general publics from two states, learning as a result of successful interactions, and finally different stages and designs of international institutionalization. To operationalize these independent factors, we employ a combination of event data and additional qualitative properties. By the end of the project, we hope to reach a better understanding of what helps or hinders trust building by states towards other states. The project is intended as a contribution to trust building in foreign policy. From there, we should be able to refocus on interstate trust as a genuinely relational category.

信任是一个有趣的现象，但在国际关系学科中很少受到关注。在研究项目的第二阶段，信任，不要验证-走向国际关系中的强信任理论，我们将调查支持或抑制国家对其他国家建立信任的变量。在这项研究中，我们专注于州际安全领域，并回到了在第一个项目阶段开发的概念和方法工具集。我们应用这个工具集来分析德国对俄罗斯，法国和美国的外交政策。我们概念化我们的因变量，在民族国家的水平上的信任，作为一个外交政策的话语，其特征是由一组特定的假设，其他国家的性格。为了捕捉这种信任的话语，并追踪其随着时间的推移的普遍性，我们利用在项目的第一阶段开发的内容分析类别。这种方法允许我们跟踪随着时间的推移而变化的信任级别。我们已经确定了几个候选人的独立变量，可能会影响信任建设的过程中，以不同的方式：发送和接收昂贵的信号，决策者之间的个人接触，官僚和一般公众从两个国家，学习作为成功的互动的结果，最后不同的阶段和国际制度化的设计。为了操作这些独立的因素，我们采用了事件数据和其他定性属性的组合。在项目结束时，我们希望能够更好地了解是什么帮助或阻碍了国家对其他国家的信任建设。该项目旨在促进在外交政策方面建立信任。从那里，我们应该能够重新关注州际信任作为一个真正的关系范畴。
