International Reintegration of the Former Soviet and East European Countries

由于政治体制的变革，原苏联和东欧国家摆脱了冷战时期国际体系的束缚。什么样的国际新秩序正在出现，前苏联和东欧国家如何重新融入其中？这就是本研究课题所要提出的问题。该项目由早稻田大学的Takayuki Ito领导，并得到了一个由21名学者组成的国际团队的支持，其中包括两名俄罗斯人，两名波兰人，一名韩国人，一名中国人，一名德国人和一名美国人。它于1992年4月在日本教育、科学和文化部的慷慨赠款下开始，并于1994年3月结束。在这三年中，它在前苏联和东欧国家进行了大量的调查，并邀请外国学者参加在札幌举行的讲习班和研讨会。从该项目中获得了许多见解。例如，没有单方面的进程： ...更多信息 一体化进程与解体进程同时进行。关于独联体国家重新合并的讨论很多，但人们不能忽视前苏联正在解体，成为或多或少独立的国际行动者。第二，国际进程与国内进程深度交织。一个国家的外交政策方向可能会发生大转变，因为这取决于该国非常动荡的政治局势。第三，国内进程应被理解为包括许多阶层，不仅包括政治和经济阶层，而且包括社会和文化阶层。似乎正在出现一个以西欧为核心、以欧洲大陆外围国家为外围的欧洲世界新秩序。前苏联和东欧国家面临着选择：要么加入这一秩序，要么拒绝这一秩序，为自己创造一个秩序。该项目的一些成果已经出版或正在出版过程中：Takayuki Ito & Shinichiro Tabata，eds.，在解体和重新融合之间。《1989年以来的前社会主义国家与世界》，札幌：斯拉夫研究中心，1994年，pp. 444（英文）; Takayuki Ito et al.，编辑，International Relations of the Slavic Area，Tokyo：Kobundo Publishers，forthcoming in April 1995（in Japanese）.少

As a result of the change of political system, the former Soviet and East European countries have been set free from constraints of the international system of the Cold War era. What kind of new international order is emerging, and how the former Soviet and East European countries are being reintegrated into it? This is the question which the present research project asks. The project is headed by Takayuki Ito, Waseda University, and supported by an international team of twenty one scholars, inluding two Russians, two Poles, a Korean, a Chinese, a German and an American. It started in April 1992 with a generous grant of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Science and Culture and came to a close in March 1994. During the three years it conducted a lot of investigations in former Soviet and East European countries and invited foreign scholars to workshops and symposiums held in Sapporo. There are many insights gained from the project. For instance, there is no unilateral process : the in … More tegration process is progressing side by side with the disintegration process. There is much talk of reintegartion of the CIS countries, but one cannot overlook the on-going disintegration of the former Soviet Union into more or less independent international actors. Second, the international process is deeply intertwined with the domestic process. There can happen a volte-face change in the foreign policy orientation of a country, as this depends on a very volatile political situation in the country. Third, the domestic process should be understood as composed of many strata, not only political and economic, but also sociological and cultural. It seems that there is emerging a new European World Order with the core area in Western Europe and the periphery in outlying countries of the European continent. The former Soviet and East European countries are facing the choice : either joining this Order or rejecting it and creating an Order for themselves.
