Lòng tin chiến lược trong quan hệ quốc tế: Trường hợp xung đột biên giới Trung – Ấn tại Galwan
Nội dung chính của bài viết
Tóm tắt
Bài viết phân tích vấn đề lòng tin trong quan hệ quốc tế thông qua trường hợp xung đột Trung - Ấn tại thung lũng Galwan năm 2020. Nghiên cứu đặt ra câu hỏi vì sao và bằng cách nào lòng tin giữa Trung Quốc và Ấn Độ sụp đổ và chuyển hóa thành leo thang xung đột, dù hai bên vẫn duy trì các cơ chế kiểm soát rủi ro và đối thoại song phương. Bài viết sử dụng khung phân tích tích hợp, kết hợp chủ nghĩa duy lý, chủ nghĩa kiến tạo và tâm lý học chính trị, dựa trên phân tích định tính các văn bản chính thức, diễn ngôn chính trị, tài liệu học thuật và nguồn báo chí liên quan đến Galwan. Kết quả cho thấy sự đổ vỡ lòng tin không chỉ bắt nguồn từ khác biệt lợi ích vật chất, mà còn từ các tự sự chủ quyền không tương thích và các thiên kiến nhận thức trong điều kiện khủng hoảng. Khi cảm xúc chính trị và áp lực danh tiếng gia tăng, các cơ chế xây dựng lòng tin bị vô hiệu hóa, khiến nhượng bộ trở nên khó chấp nhận. Bài viết kết luận rằng lòng tin là một hiện tượng đa tầng, và việc thiếu củng cố đồng bộ ở các cấp độ chiến lược, xã hội và tâm lý đã đẩy quan hệ Trung - Ấn vào trạng thái ngờ vực kéo dài sau Galwan.
