Abstract: Marxist international relation theory differs from that of the western mainstream theory in its logics and philosophic connotation. Marxist theory is similar with the western theory in terms of the theme of world politics, motives for development of world politics, basic paradigm of research on international affairs and the philosophical and historical nature of the theory. However, Marxist theory has its own specific perspectives. It is imperative that socialist countries adopt an open and scientific attitude towards Marxist international relation theory, and apply the theory in coping with foreign affairs and conducting academic research on international relation.

Key words: Marxism, international relation theory, rationalism

摘要： 马克思主义国际关系理论具有与西方主流理论不同的逻辑体系和哲学内涵,在世界政治的主题、世界政治的发展动力、研究国际问题的基本范式及理论自身的哲学和历史本质方面,马克思主义与西方理论既有相似和相近的一面,同时更有自己的独特视角。如何以更加开放和科学的态度来看待马克思主义的国际关系理论,并将其理论精义运用于社会主义国家的对外实践和国际关系的学术研究,是今天中国国际关系学界所必须面对的问题。
