西方民主衰退之争评析

发布时间：2018-07-20 17:02

【摘要】：近十年来,民主衰退成为国外民主化研究的重要议题。以戴蒙德为代表的一些国外学者认为,当前全球民主发生了衰退,主要表现为民主崩溃的速率不断加快;多数"摇摆国家"的民主质量和稳定性经历了显著倒退;以美国为首的西方国家的民主有效性以及对民主的自信心也在急剧衰减。部分学者对当前全球民主处于衰退之中的论断提出质疑,认为对民主内涵的不同界定或援引例证的偏差,以及研究中受到主观意志等因素的影响,所谓的"民主衰退"论断可能是个伪命题。然而,根据几大民主评估机构最新的数据来看,民主的衰退是毋庸置疑的客观事实。国内学者应当充分把握当前西方学者反思全球民主衰退的契机,对其成因展开全面而深入的剖析,在解构的基础上对西方民主话语进行祛魅和超越,进而不断地提升中国民主理论的国际话语权。
[Abstract]:In the past ten years, the decline of democracy has become an important topic in the research of democratization abroad. Some foreign scholars represented by Diamond believe that the current global democracy has been declining, mainly as the rate of democratic collapse is accelerating, and the quality and stability of democracy in most "swing countries" have experienced significant retrogression. The US-led West's democratic effectiveness and confidence in democracy are also plummeting. Some scholars have questioned the argument that democracy is in decline in the world, believing that the different definitions of democracy or the deviation of cited examples, as well as the influence of subjective will in the study, The so-called "democratic decline" argument may be a false proposition. However, according to the latest figures from several major democratic assessment agencies, the decline of democracy is an unquestionable objective fact. Domestic scholars should fully grasp the opportunity for Western scholars to reflect on the global democratic decline, analyze its causes comprehensively and thoroughly, disenchantment and transcend the western democratic discourse on the basis of deconstruction. Furthermore, the international discourse power of Chinese democratic theory is continuously promoted.
