民族国家与全球化

在全球化过程中,作为政治单位的民族国家的主权仍是世界政治的重心所系,尽管它不可避免地受到国际社会的影响.经济的全球化趋势推动着人类社会政治结构朝全球性方向演进,从而形成国际社会与民族国家在政治影响上的互动.各个民族国家都以积极的姿态参与到国际政治中去,全球性治理和超国家治理的组织正是由各个国家积极参与的结果.     

Recent Developments to British Multicultural Theory,Policy and Practice: The Case of British Muslims

Since the early 1970s, there have been highly sophisticated arguments and conceptual discussions put forward in relation to how Western liberal democracies might wish to manage their diverse ethnic minority populations. It is apparent, however, that in the current climate, the important principles of unity and diversity are insufficient to challenge differing forms of ethnic, racial, and religious inequality. This paper argues that because of its underlying assumptions and modus operandi in the post-September 11 climate, British multiculturalism has been ineffective, even supporting some commentators' suggestions of a return to assimilationism. There is a new era in post-September 11 political hegemony, economic determinism and structural and cultural racisms, with European government rhetoric and public policy almost exclusively aimed at Muslims—whether as existing citizens or as part of a process of limiting immigration (which has tended to be from mainly Eastern European, North African, and Middle Eastern sending regions and nations). The example of New Labour and how it has attempted to deal with multiculturalism in Britain is a case in point. The discussion explores the changing concept of multiculturalism with special reference to British Muslims and debates that emerge in relation to identity, nation and civil society. It is argued that the experience and treatment of British Muslims is important to explore and appreciate in the current climate as it provides a test case for the future of (a) British multiculturalism and (b) British Muslims in society per se.     

“Double transformations:” nation formation and democratization in interwar East Central Europe

Following the collapse of empires and the subsequent founding of self-determined nation-states, East Central Europe experienced a turning point after World War I. The new states had to transform themselves from branches of a multi-ethnic empire to independent nation-states, as well as from a system of monarchy to democracy at the same time. We argue that one cannot really understand why democracy failed in almost all East Central European states after World War I if one does not take into account the extreme challenges of this “double transformation” consisting of the interactions of the two tightly interwoven processes of nation formation and democratization. Therefore, we deem it necessary to develop a broader research program that addresses the complex interlacement of these two fundamental transformations of politics and society.     

论分裂主义与国家承认

对国家承认问题的研究是国际关系学界容易忽视的研究领域。近年来,随着世界分裂主义的发展甚嚣尘上,围绕对分裂实体的国家承认所引发的矛盾和冲突也更为激烈,因此研究分裂主义与国际承认之间的关系便十分必要。国际政治中的国家承认是指各国将某个政治行为体确认和接纳为新的主权国家。虽然国际法确认了国家承认的基本原则,但是各承认国主要基于自身的利益来考量对新成员特别是分裂实体的国家承认,这不可避免地导致了国家承认实践中的差异与纷争。正因如此,对面临分裂主义挑战的国家来说,在反分裂斗争中有必要制定和实施"反承认战略",以遏制分裂主义的图谋。当然,对于分裂主义应对而言,问题发展到"建国"的阶段其实已十分严峻,相关国家更应该注重这一阶段之前的治理工作,如遏制分裂势力的发展、寻求实现政治和解、防范外部势力的介入等。     

个人与国家之间:当代法文化的价值观

法文化的价值问题属于“法统”范畴,它是任何时代的法文化必然具备的一个核心问题.当代中国提出的社会主义核心价值体系是研究当代法文化之价值问题的一个理论前提,从社会主义核心价值体系中可以解读出与法文化的价值问题息息相关的概念组合,这就是个人和国家的关系.当代法文化之“法统”既不应该是单纯的个人主义,也不是单纯的国家主义,而必然是个人与国家的有机统一,但要统一于具体语境之中,就需要引入实践智慧的概念.当代法文化的“法统”所依据的理性基础是关系理性,这种理性形态在传统中国法文化以及马克思主义理论中都有良好的思想支撑.     

社会主义核心价值体系提出目的及其内在逻辑

社会主义核心价值体系提出的目的是什么、四方面内容如何为这个目的服务，这是研究社会主义核心价值体系须首先加以关注的问题。提出社会主义核心价值体系的目的是为了实现中华民族伟大复兴，为了实现这个目的，四个方面内容各自担负起主题、指导思想、精神动力和理想人格作用。其内在逻辑关系有如三足拱立的大鼎，指导思想、精神动力、理想人格各居一足，拱起共同理想这个大鼎。     

文化建设的四重路向与中华民族凝聚力
