Regional bet365 sports is an important phenomenon in the process of world political and economic development。Looking at the history of post-war international relations, it is not difficult to find,Regional bet365 sports experience from the Western world to the non-Western world,From developed countries to developing countries、The development process of continuous radiation and spread of emerging economies and countries in transition。Until today,Each region in the world has its “own” regional bet365 sports process and related mechanism carriers。However,Western regional bet365 sports theory has long dominated the paradigm selection and agenda setting of academic research on regional bet365 sports issues。Aron Freidberg even proposed,“Europe’s past is Asia’s future”。And Korean scholar Kang Canxiong (D. Kang) asked back,“Why should we use Europe’s past to discuss Asia’s future,Instead of using Asia’s past to discuss Asia’s future?”See this,This article attempts to peel off the cocoon,Discuss the characteristics and applicability of European regional bet365 sports theory genealogy。

  Multi-dimensional concept of regional bet365 sports

 In terms of etymology,“bet365 sports” in English is a borrowed word,From Latin “integrationem”,Introduced from the French "intégration" in the early 17th century。In English,"bet365 sports" generally has three interpretations: (1) The process of becoming a member of a certain group or society;(2) Allow people of all races to use the same place、Institutional or organizational process;(3) The process of integrating different individuals into a unit or system。in Russian,"bet365 sports" (интеграция) is explained as "the development process of connecting various parts or individuals into a whole"。in Chinese,"bet365 sports" means "to make individuals operating independently form a close connection、Cooperating whole”。Visible,The process or behavior of integrating or combining scattered different individuals into a whole is the core of the concept of bet365 sports。

bet365 sports generally refers to regional bet365 sports,Also called regional bet365 sports。Different disciplines have different research paths and core issues on regional bet365 sports。Economics mainly focuses on reducing transaction costs,Discuss regional bet365 sports from the perspective of achieving maximum economic benefits,such as customs union theory、Free Trade Area Theory、Big market theory、Common Market Theory、Protocol division of labor theory、Optimal currency area theory, etc.。The forms of regional bet365 sports from low to high include: Preferential Trade Arrangements (PTA)、Free Trade Area (FTA)、Customs Union、Common Market、Currency Union、Complete economic bet365 sports。Political science regards regional bet365 sports as a political system,Focus on the distribution of power among units within the political system、Organization Settings、Organizational operations, their interrelationships and political influences,such as federalism。In International Relations,The core issue of bet365 sports is the issue of causes,Focus on answering the reasons and development motivations for sovereign and independent nation-states to embark on the road of bet365 sports,such as functional power、Institutional dynamics、Nation-state dynamics, etc.。

  Theoretical genealogy of European regional bet365 sports

European bet365 sports is an important object of Western research on regional bet365 sports。European bet365 sports theory is one of the most systematic regional bet365 sports theories to date,Almost became synonymous with Western regional bet365 sports theory。Overall,European bet365 sports theory is mainly based on functionalism、The composition of intergovernmentalism and institutionalism。

Functionalism belongs to the category of liberal theory。Functionalism is divided into Mitrani (D. Mitrany) represented by the old functionalism、Haas(E. Haas) and Hawke (L. Hooghe) and Marcos (G. Marks,The three are inheritances、The relationship between correction and development。Old functionalism emerged in the 1940s,Emphasis on the technical and non-political nature of the bet365 sports process。His greatest theoretical contribution is to propose the concept of "ramification",It means that successful cooperation in a certain field will lead to cooperation in other fields。Neofunctionalism emerged in the 1950s and 1960s。Neofunctionalism was developed after the launch of European bet365 sports。Different from the old functionalism,Neofunctionalism emphasizes the political motivations of bet365 sports,And proposed the concept of “spill-over”。Neofunctionalists believe,Spillover is an important driving force for bet365 sports,Refers to the process of diffusion from one department and region to another。Since the 1990s,With the establishment of the European Union,European bet365 sports gradually moves from the economic field to the social field、Politics、Expansion in defense and other fields。At the same time,New problems have also emerged in the operation of the European Union,That is, despite the rising economic welfare generated by European bet365 sports,However, public recognition of bet365 sports is declining。In this context,Based on the revision of neofunctionalism by Hawke and Marcos in 2009,Absorb the social construction of constructivism、Social identity and other theoretical perspectives,Proposed post-functionalism theory。Post-functionalism believes,Social identity has become an important issue affecting the future of European bet365 sports。Different from the old and new functionalism which emphasizes “elite drive”,Proposed by post-functionalists,Social power、Public participation has also become a new driving force for bet365 sports。

Intergovernmentalism is a representative theory that studies bet365 sports issues in realism,Divided into traditional intergovernmentalism and liberal intergovernmentalism。The historical background of traditional intergovernmentalism is the “Empty Chair Crisis” of the European Community in 1965。Traditional intergovernmentalism points out,States are the most important actors in the regional bet365 sports process。As the founder of traditional intergovernmentalism,Hoffman (S. Hoffmann) emphasizes the central position of the state in the bet365 sports process,National interests are the driving force for bet365 sports,Does not agree with the "spillover" effect advocated by neofunctionalism。1980s,In rational choice、Inspired by collective behavior theory and international political economy,At the same time absorb the relevant views of liberalism,The realist bet365 sports theory achieves a breakthrough,The formation of liberal intergovernmentalism。Liberal intergovernmentalism insists that the state is the central actor of bet365 sports,But the economic interest variable is added in the analysis of bet365 sports issues,Believe that economic interests should be higher than political interests,And plays a decisive role in the bet365 sports process。

Compared with the above two major theoretical schools,New institutionalism is a new theory that studies regional bet365 sports。Since the late 1980s,European bet365 sports enters a period of profound changes,The European Community is gradually transforming into the European Union。1990s,Studying the institutional dynamics of regional bet365 sports is the focus of new institutionalism。In International Relations,New institutionalism is mainly divided into rational choice institutionalism and historical institutionalism。The core issue of rational choice institutionalism is: the driving force for the formation of bet365 sports。Specifically,It is to study the operation of the EU system,Administration、Justice、The distribution of power among legislation and its policy effects。The position of historical institutionalists is neutral,Emphasis on the historical changes of the system,Introduced the concept of "path dependence" when analyzing the European bet365 sports process,And believes that European bet365 sports is a process that develops over time,Decision-making in the bet365 sports process is determined by the historical background at that time。

  Discussion on the applicability of European bet365 sports theory

Without a doubt,The relevant theories of European bet365 sports are currently the most systematic regional bet365 sports theories in the field of international relations,To a certain extent, it is regarded as the theoretical coordinate for the bet365 sports practice of other regions。The Western regional bet365 sports theory with European bet365 sports theory as the core provides the following three major experiences: First,Each theory is an important aspect in analyzing European bet365 sports,Not the whole theory of European bet365 sports。Song Xinning, an expert on European issues, pointed out,European bet365 sports “does not exist a macroscopic bet365 sports theoretical system,But a kind of 'mosaic' embedded puzzle,Various theoretical schools and doctrines are intertwined”。Secondly,Each theoretical school has different understandings of the driving forces of regional bet365 sports。Functionalism emphasizes functional dynamics,Intergovernmentalism recognizes national dynamics,New institutionalism attaches great importance to institutional dynamics。final,bet365 sports theory is closely connected with the practice of regional bet365 sports,Mutual promotion。Each theory corresponds to specific issues in bet365 sports practice,And problem-solving oriented。

Then,Can European bet365 sports theory become a universal theory that is applicable to all countries?Can the European bet365 sports model become a model for other regional integrations?Can European bet365 sports provide theoretical basis and development model for other regional integrations?In our opinion,These issues are debatable。Just like the British international relations theorist Boole (H. Bull) said: "If the theories we use all originate from the West and take the West as the standard,Can these theories enable us to fully understand non-Western international political systems?”

From the perspective of the origin and development of the theory,European bet365 sports theory is rooted in European philosophy for hundreds of years、Political and ideological tradition,Using the European bet365 sports that emerged after World War II as a practical platform,It is also formed based on many theories of Western social sciences,Explaining the past of European bet365 sports、A series of theoretical theories on current and future development issues。

In terms of historical basis,The birth of European bet365 sports is the decision of European countries, mainly Germany and France, to achieve regional "permanent peace" through regional bet365 sports after World War II,It is also the result of the United States’ support for Western European countries in the context of the United States and the Soviet Union’s struggle for hegemony。ASEAN is the core and carrier of Southeast Asia’s regional bet365 sports,The reason for its establishment is to maintain regional security,And maintain a strategic alliance with the United States。Eurasian bet365 sports is Russia’s restoration of its status as a “Eurasian power”,Strategic starting point to achieve another rise。

From the category,Regional bet365 sports types are diverse,bet365 sports methods and geopolitical and economic interest demands are also different。For example,bet365 sports of developed countries represented by the EU,It is "North-North bet365 sports",It is a developed country in Western Europe (Germany、法) is the core driving force,Focus on tapping the potential of regional bet365 sports,Attach importance to the "Europeanization" transformation of the former socialist countries in Central and Eastern Europe;bet365 sports of developing countries represented by ASEAN,It is "South-South bet365 sports",This type of regional bet365 sports is characterized by integrating internal forces,Improve the cooperation environment in the region,And then absorb external economic development resources to promote the development of the region;bet365 sports of developed countries + emerging countries represented by NAFTA,Belongs to "North-South bet365 sports",Featuring the United States by uniting Canada、Mexico,Leading the economic order in North America。
