Debora Malito教授认为,国际干预的定义和衡量标准存在争议,既要考虑干预过程中的原则和手段,也要考虑干预结果对人民生活的影响。她批判了西方中心主义视角下的治理模式,强调不同社会制度和价值观导致治理方式差异。她指出,信息时代的信息过载和虚假信息泛滥,加剧了人们的教条式思维和对问题的简单化理解。她以索马里和利比亚为例,分析了国际干预的失败模式,指出干预往往加剧了权力碎片化和长期不稳定,未能解决国内冲突的根本原因。她认为,国际干预中存在着殖民性模式,发达国家与发展中国家之间的中心-边缘关系导致了发展中国家的不平等和脆弱性。她还探讨了民主化努力的困境,指出将道德维度附加于意识形态会导致教条式思维,而这种道德维度是自由主义干预的基础。她认为,全球排名系统在衡量不同领域的表现时存在方法论问题,应谨慎使用,避免简单化和政治化。她对未来世界局势持谨慎乐观态度,认为多极化趋势可能带来全球问责制的进步,但短期内世界局势仍将动荡。 Justin, Howie和Eric三位主持人与Debora Malito教授就国际干预的各种议题进行了深入探讨,包括干预的定义、西方偏见、信息时代的影响、干预的模式和后果、以及多极化世界的前景等。他们从不同角度提出了问题,并与教授进行了互动交流,共同探讨了国际干预的复杂性和挑战性。

Shownotes Transcript

Debora Malito is an author and Assistant Professor.  Her work surrounds questions of sovereignty and inequality in international politics.  Her current research focuses on how information is produced, international interventions and the reordering of states and political orders.  She is the author of "Destabilising Interventions in Somalia".  Today we unpack the intricacies of international interventions and how they often fail with disastrous consequences. Debora argues interveners often create or worsen crises that then justify intervention, debunking the myth of the "benevolent intervention".  We talk about governance, inequality and the moral ambiguities of spreading democracy.  We reflect on the rising geopolitical tensions of our time, and with an optimistic lens, Debora hints at a world where growing multipolarity could champion genuine global accountability.  This episode was recorded right before the recent Israeli-Palestinian crisis.
