初看帕特南教授所著《使民主运转起来:现代意大利的公民传统》的书名便觉得惊讶,一是因为“民主”一词在中国拥有与西方不同的意义,我不知读一本西方学者所著关于“民主”的书是否有助于了解中国政治或是国际关系;惊讶原因之二是与“民主”相对应的不是美国或者英国,而是地...
评分 评分帕特南作为有名的政治学家,对于“公民社会”“公民参与”这样的话题是情有独钟的。他的《独自打保龄球》就描绘出美国人对于他们一向热衷的保龄球这样的社团活动的热情似乎正在下降了。人与人横向关系的疏远一定程度上动摇了稳固的社会资本,对于以此为基石的美国共和民主政治...
评分用社会资本的概念来解释意大利南部北部不同的民主发展情况,中国一方面是君主专制,这是没有社会资本的,但一方面我们又强调家族概念,社会资本又是很强的,所以我们一段时期内的商业是发展很快的,家族企业很多,但民主精神却由于几千年的皇权压制没有发展起来,导致现在公民...

Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new governments for each of its regions. After spending two decades analyzing the efficacy of these governments in such fields as agriculture, housing, and health services, they reveal patterns of associationism, trust, and cooperation that facilitate good governance and economic prosperity.
研究信任、互惠原则和横向关系网络对institution performance的作用。应该可以理解为“民主运作”的道德基础吧
评分看着都这么累 真研究起来得有多烦
评分# 如果不是对civic tradition感兴趣,这本书可以花三个小时就读完。经验材料的编排以当时的标准来看算精细,但是给人感觉是硬套上去的,讲历史渊源没写出活泼劲儿来。这本书还是比较少强调civic tradition对于发展和民主起作用的conditionality,不过civic tradition的几个要点,平等、包容、替别人考虑等等,确实就是民主得以运转的关键。现代社会不一定意味着community到society,作者试图说明在现代社会里可以建立基于自由平等关系的community。我很喜欢这个理想,今后可以自称communitarian liberals,哈哈。
评分大概看了两章,对这个topic不了解,所以读起来不觉得轻松。。
评分从视野格局和经验材料上讲堪称完美。唯一有一个不太对劲之处是微观的机制和宏观的相关之间的联系似乎论证得不够强。微观的社会资本和微观的合作之间的因果机制很清楚,宏观的地区civic tradition和地区治理效率之间的相关也很清楚,但是小的association的作用如何传导到宏观的民主化呢?public-spiritedness&egalitarian value spawned by networks of civic engagement大概是传导带,可是具体怎么传导的没有详细说明。不过当然开创性作品也不能把事情都做完了……
