New Trends in International Politics in Europe since the Kosovo War.

这项研究揭示了科索沃战争以来欧洲国际政治的几个新趋势。首先，科索沃战争加速了欧盟东扩，使欧盟对欧洲的国际政治产生了重大影响。深化欧盟所面临的挑战，如制定《欧洲宪法条约》（European Constitutional Treaty）的必要性，已变得迫在眉睫。第二，由于民主、法治、尊重基本人权和保护少数群体的权利被认为是欧洲大陆的共同价值观，因此在冲突后的国家建设中需要遵守这些价值观。在巴尔干国家的国家建设过程中，欧安组织、欧盟和联合国等国际机构通过介入各国内政，推动民主国家重建，作为冲突后和平进程和预防性外交的一部分，取得了成功。第三，与美国基于军事优势（硬实力）的单边主义相比，欧洲国家在和平进程中倾向于以软实力为核心的多边主义。因此，两者之间的分歧变得更加明显。在共同外交和安全政策（CFCP）的发展中，欧盟的扩张也导致了与北约的竞争。第四，欧洲国家的内部事务极大地影响了各国的外交。因此，必须在一个新的框架的基础上审查内政与外交之间的联系。最后，既然这些新趋势受到国际政治缺陷的影响，例如9-11和伊拉克战争，它们已经远远超出了后科索沃阶段。

This research reveals several new trends of international politics in Europe since the Kosovo war.First, the Kosovo war accelerated the eastern enlargement of the EU, resulting in the EU having a significant impact on international politics in Europe. The challenges of a deepening EU, such as the necessity to formulate the European Constitutional Treaty, have become urgent.Second, as democracy, the rule of law, respect for basic human rights, and protection of the rights of minorities are acknowledged as shared values in the European continent, compliance with these values is called for in post-conflict nation building. In the process of nation building in the Balkan States, the success of international institutions such as OSCE, the EU and the UN, was attained through involvement in the internal affairs of countries and the push for democratic national reconstruction as part of the post-conflict peace process and preventive diplomacy.Third, compared to the US' unilateralism, which arises from its military predominance (hard power), European countries have an inclination toward multilateralism centering on soft power in the peace process. Discord between the two is therefore becoming more obvious. In the development of a common foreign and security policy (CFCP) as well, the expansion of the EU has resulted in competition with NATO.Fourth, the internal affairs of European countries have greatly affected the diplomacy of each country. Consequently, a review of the linkage between internal affairs and diplomacy, based on a on a new framework is necessary.Last, now that these new trends have been impacted by the deficiencies of international politics such as evidenced by 9-11 and the war in Iraq, they have gone far beyond the post-Kosovo stage.
