时至今日,外交决策仍然是少数政治精英的专利,美国也不例外。美国外交决策影响因素多元,因此,预测其外交政策偏好,分析其人才流动方向,这是一项具有挑战性的工作。通过“旋转门”制度,美国学者可以转变身份,成为外交决策的重要行为体。在中国快速成长的阶段,考察研究中国外交政策(尤其是安全政策)的学者,有助于理解中美的战略互动。当前,中国学术界和政策界大多关注已经进入美国政府的学者与知名学者,对青年学者的了解相对有限。为中美关系长远未来的考虑,有必要将目光和资源投向青年一代学者。
Until now,foreign policy decision-making is still monopolized by a small group of political elites. America is no exception. There are varies factors affecting diplomatic decisions in the United States,therefore,it will be a quite challenging work to predict its foreign policy preferences and analyze its flow of talent. In America,there is a “revolving door” mechanism which enables scholars to change their roles and become important actors in making foreign policies. At the stage of fast development of China,studies on scholars who are researching on Chinese foreign policy(especially security policy)will assist us to understand strategic interactions between China and the United States. At present,the academic and policy-making community in China usually pay their attention to only well-known scholars or those who have entered the United States government,while have relatively limited knowledge about young scholars. In consideration of the long-term future of US-China relations,we must share our vision and resources to those scholars of young generation.
