It is usually considered,"Thirty Years War" (1618-1648) is a struggle between two "camps" in Europe。One is a "universalist" -the sacred Roman Emperor of the Habsburg Dynasty Emperor and King of Spain,They are loyal to the Roman church,It advocates that he and the pope have the right to control the entire Christian world; the other party is "Specialist",Including Danish、Netherlands、France、Sweden and German princes,These behaviors reject the imperial dictatorship and pope authority,Requires to safeguard the completely independent rights of all countries。This view is somewhat plays, not,Although the outline of the "Thirty -Year War" is emerging,But ignored bet365 live casino games historical details,and then fall into the excessive interpretation。

The Westporia Hakka, which ended the Thirty -Year War, mainly refers to the two treaties reached in Minshi and Osbulk in October 1648,Add the treaty reached by Spain and the Netherlands in January 1648。"The Minster Peace Treaty" in January 1648 ended the so -called "Eighty Years War",Spain recognizes the Dutch independence。The key terms in the "Minster Peace" in October 1648 are,Alsas of the Holy Roman Empire cut to France,France is excluded from the empire。The signing party of "Osnabulk Peace" is the Holy Roman Empire、Sweden, etc.,The treaty mainly involves the Emperor Emperor、Territory and Sweden's status in the empire and other problems。The direct consequence of "Westparia" is to solve the more controversial issues in the "Thirty Years War",Other problems until the "Billy Bull Treaty" (1659)、"Liswick Harmony" (1697) and "Udele Treaty" (1713) can be resolved。

"Westparia Way",There is no victory of national sovereignty claimed by international relations from international relations、Establishment of the national community、The beginning of the collective safety and other specific terms。In other words,In the so -called "Westpulia System" based on secularized sovereignty countries at that time,。

 Construction of "Westparia" myth

The construction of the "Westparia" myth is not happened overnight,Instead, it has experienced a long years of tempering。Brief words,The excessive interpretation of Western thinkers provides the source of thought of "Westparia" myth,The development of international relations discipline strengthened the knowledge form of the myth of "Westporia"。

The origin of the "Westparia" myth can be traced back to the late 17th and early 18th century。Representative thinkers include Poffin Dowf、Etezama、Saint Pierre and Rousseau。Poffin Dowe in Germany believes that the religious sovereignty of the Protestantism of Bet365 lotto review the Westphelia and the New Education has defined a new type of international relations; Etzama in the Netherlands emphasizes that the Westpulia Harmony gives all to all given to all to all given The most basic and commonly applicable national sovereignty in the Netherlands; Santa Pierre of France in 1713 "Fighting in Europe's Permanent Peace Plan",It is urged to establish a unified European system composed of sovereign states; Rousseau in France in the article "Through the establishment of a European Federation to Apine Peace",For the first time, it is clearly promoted to the myth status of "Westporia" into a "foundation of the international system"。

The thinkers from the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century further enriched the connotation of the myth of "Westpalea"。German historian Heinrich von von Terchik regards "Westpaya Peace" as a classic of international law,Sovereignty State began to form a "great family"。International Law Scholars John Westerlack、Amos Herch、Frederick Sherwood Dunn and others,Agree in Agree in Westporia is an order tool in the international community,and regard it as the origin of the modern international system。American politician Elieou Rute、German historian Lion Pod von Lanke and US diplomat David Jehn Hill also hold a similar point of view。The above -mentioned thinkers' understanding of the Westporia peace Testament can be summarized as three aspects: peace is the source of the international order and the international community; the peacekeeper marks the origin of national sovereignty;。Thinners from the late 17th century to the early 20th century have a common feature,That is, an over -interpretation of "Westparia Pacific",The cause is subject to personal academic orientation、The background of the times and various political appeals。

1919,With the formal establishment of international relations disciplines,"Westparia" myths began bet365 live casino games to "enter the room"。In the literature of various genres in international relations,"Westparia Way" is conceptualized,The concept of being transformed into an "international system",Become a framework of academic theoretical research。Western scholars when using the term "Westporia",Generally divided into two layers of meaning。First is to describe the behavior method of behavior and body in the international system,Emphasize the existence and homogeneous pattern of territorial countries; the second is to refer to a series of standard doctrine of "Westpaya",That is, scholars focus on sovereignty during discussion、Principles of equality and non -interference。American scholar Stephen Klasner has listed the role of the concept of "Westpaya" in contemporary international relations,"Westparia mode based on the principles of autonomy and territoriality,Provided a concise、eye -catching and condensed image。It controls the brain of the decision maker。This is a kind of analysis assumption for new realism and neo -liberalism。Both assume,The state can be regarded as autonomy、Consistent and rational actor。This is the experience of various sociology and constructive international political theory。other,This is also a benchmark for observers "。In the process of "Westparia" mythical knowledge and theoreticalization,The term "Westparia" began to be separated from historical background as a abstract concept。So far,International Relationships built a well -known habitat for the myth of "Westpulia","Westparia" myth provides knowledge forms and conceptual coherents for international relations。

  Reflection, criticism and transcendence

Reflection is a prerequisite for critical。With the advent of the era of globalization,The academic community has deeply reflected on the myth of "Westparia"。First,Back to History,Clarifying the Westpalea Hamachi and "Westpulia" bet365 best casino games myth is not related,It reflects the cognitive tension in the myth and historical facts in the theory of international relations。Second,Review theory,Amended the "Westparia" myth in concept and thinking method,shows the internal tension that the "Westparia" myth has existed at the theoretical level。Last,Facting reality,A rich expansion of the interpretation function of "Westparia",highlight the tension between history and theory。The above three tensions failed to fundamentally disappear is that historical research often ignores the theoretical construction value and significance of important historical events; international relations often fall into non -historical mud; Effective communication and "marriage"。These tension shows the three major defects of "Westpulia" myth: First, the "Westpulia" myth、Complex durable abstraction is homogeneous、Simple Similarity; the second is the concept of "Westpulia" concept unclear,The theoretical thinking and interpretation function of the international relations is stagnant; the third is that the cognitive method of "Westparia" mythology cannot cope with the complex phenomenon of the era of globalization。"Westparia" myths have shaped international relations theory and historical narrative mode,Inevantization,The historical evolution of international relations and human practice should also be amended to the various fallacy and limitations it brings。

Criticism is the basis of transcendence。First,Criticism of "Westparia" myth。Dialogue is both materialistic、Time、Spaceful,It also has externality、Limited and exclusive,It is also a form of knowledge of cultural diffusion。Therefore,"Westparia" myth is essentially a kind of knowledge production,It will inevitably reflect a certain power relationship。Second,Criticism of the time view of the "Westparia" myth。"Westparia" mythology comes from the time view Bet365 lotto review of evolution,Created with homogeneous、Slightly empty and seemingly unknown time view,This time view of time to distort the history of international relations。Last,Modernity of "Westparia" myths。In a sense,"Westparia" myth has become a Western modernity standard,or even a "civilized standard"。But,Modernity is not equal to the West。Western modernity is just an important reference for other civilizations。"Westparia" myth is not the only factor in shaping the evolution of modern international relations,It covers the differences and diversity in the historical process of the world,At the same time, it is politically leading to diversity、Multiple suppression。In the era of globalization,The rise of the non -Western world shakes the foundation of the "Westpalea" mythical grand narrative,Provides opportunities for surpassing this myth。

Beyond is the synthesis of reflection and critical。First,"Restore" discourse。"Westparia" myths from general sexual words "restore" to different sex words。Different discourse emphasizes those past special、Event formed by identity and the possibility of this group in the future,and general sexual words emphasize the present and the future of the current continuation。Second,Return to deep time and deep history。This means to expand the historic category,That is, historical development is not always linear and destination theory。again,Construction of transcendent academic resources。Non -Western academic circles should dedicate competitive international relations and historical narratives,This to remove the "Westpulia" myth in internal thinking and external knowledge production and even political behavior。Last,Reconstruction Global Knowledge System。Global intellectuals should reflect on and reconstruct the local knowledge of Western knowledge system and civilizations,In rational communication、Dialogue,Gradually formed bet365 live casino games a superimposed、Global new knowledge system。Last,Emancipating the way of thinking。When the myth of "Westpulia" has faded away、When the halo is still having now,Non -Western intellectuals will obtain the vast psychological space and knowledge space of the past and present and even the future of international relations。
