ABSTRACT Situating the rise of non-Western states in the context of a pluralistic and heterogenous modernity is helpful for recognising changes in the techniques, rationales and, to an extent, the conceptual foundations of the practice of intervention. Intervention is both controversial and difficult. Non-Western states are developing fresh strategies through which intervention is but part of a wider complex of policy instruments which help to cultivate the conditions for intervention to be effective, if it needs to be used at all. Differences in the experience of modernity on the part of Western and non-Western states will also prove significant for the practice of intervention. There is the practical issue of the disjuncture between existing sovereign state borders and the boundaries of political community perceived in ethnic or religious terms. This is, however, itself a reflection of competing authority claims that contain within them different spatialities of the inside/outside, or political domains, that intervention stands to transgress.

干预的持久性：不断变化的情况，形式和观点

摘要将非西方国家的崛起置于多元化和异构现代性的背景下，有助于人们认识到干预手段，手段和理论基础的变化，并在一定程度上认识到干预实践的概念基础。干预既有争议又困难。非西方国家正在制定新的策略，通过这些策略，干预措施只是更广泛的政策工具的一部分，如果有必要使用干预措施，则有助于培育有效的干预条件。西方国家和非西方国家在现代性经验上的差异也将对干预实践产生重大影响。存在一个现实问题，即现有的主权国家边界与以种族或宗教角度看待的政治共同体边界之间存在脱节。
