民族社会学的视角与定义新论

民族社会学的视角主要有结构与过程的视角,个体、群体与社会的视角、冲突与均衡的视角、统一性与多样性的视角、宏观与微观的视角。而民族社会学的定义由于学者的研究视角不同,定义的侧重点不同亦呈现出众说纷纭的状况。综合已有研究,我们认为,民族社会学是一门从宏观社会系统出发,综合地研究民族地区现实的社会结构、社会过程与社会控制,以探讨民族地区社会良性运行与协调发展的条件与机制的一门综合性社会科学交叉学科。

New Concept on the View and Definition of Nation Sociology

Nation sociology can be studied from several different angles of view:the view of structure and process, individual, community and society, conflict and balance, unity and variety, macrocosm and microcosm. And the definition of nation sociology varied a lot according to different emphasis caused by the scholar's different studying views. Summing up the previous studies, we think that nation sociology is an intersecting subject of integrated social science which synthetically studies the actual social structure, process and domination of the national areas and delves in the conditions and systems of its favorable functioning and harmonious development from the view of the macroscopic social system.
