Golden or gilded jubilee? A research agenda for actorness
回顾45年（1970-2015）欧盟行为体性研究，分析其概念史、主要发现、局限与机遇，提出未来研究方向，旨在将概念50周年从镀金转为黄金。
This article explores, explains and challenges the state of the art of actorness, one of the most recognizable concepts in the study of the European Union (EU)’s international functioning. Covering 45 years of research (1970–2015), it examines the notion’s conceptual history, discusses its main findings, analyses its limitations and opportunities, and formulates suggestions for future work. It argues that the status quo can be seen through two opposing lenses – that of an optimist and that of a pessimist – and suggests two research shifts and specific recommendations to realize them in order to flip the notion’s upcoming 50th anniversary from gilded to golden.
