Decentring European Foreign Policy Analysis: Towards a Paradigmatic Shift
本文认为将欧洲中心主义视为元范式有助于学者意识到分析欧洲外交政策时的假设、简化和扭曲，并提出通过去中心化方法克服这些局限，推动范式转变。
Abstract The article argues that considering Eurocentrism as a meta‐paradigm helps scholars to be conscious about assumptions, simplifications and distortions that undermine scholars' abilities to analyse European foreign policy. The article integrates several conceptualisations of decentring that originate from both postcolonial and more mainstream scholarship. It explains how analytical limitations and simplifications can be overcome through various interrelated stages of a decentring approach, whilst avoiding recentring or merely ‘decentring by addition’. The article concludes by arguing for a widening of ‘allyship in diversity’ – not only amongst but also beyond critical approaches – by reaching out to more mainstream scholarship in order to increase the prospect of a paradigm shift in the analysis of European foreign policy.
