The Dark Side of Democracy 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
1949年,乔治·奥威尔在他的小说《1984》中,描述了一个可怕的极权社会,在这个社会中,85%的无产者被排除在政治决策之外。令人欣慰的是,奥威尔所描述的社会似乎并没有到来,民主化的浪潮则席卷了全球。在许多人看来,“民主”是政治体制发展的最后一个阶段,质疑它,需要很大...
评分《民主的阴暗面》,迈克尔·曼著,严春松译,中央编译出版社,2015年7月第1版。似乎叫“人性的阴暗面”更合适。作者认为种族清洗是现代才出现的,故将之归结为现代制度下的行为,但似乎所谓北方国家、即“民主”国家才能摆脱这种行为。作为社会学专著,读来过于专业细致,...
评分先谈本书立意。 海登·怀特(1928-)在自己集二十世纪史学大成的名著《元史学》中(1973),通过对19世纪历史意识的研究,得出如下结论: A.历史既是正统历史学,同时必定是历史哲学; B.史学的可能模式与思辨历史哲学的可能模式相同; C.这些模式实际上分析起来又是先于...
评分文 / 李公明 20世纪,人类遭受了许多被以“种族清洗”或“阶级清洗”等动机驱使的大屠杀。然而,那无数邪恶的引擎是如何疯转起来的?对此,很少有人能够精准地洞悉和描述。种族与人民的关系、独裁与民主的制度演变、受害者与施害者的心理动机……还有更多的事件、人物等复杂因...
评分回顾中外历史,大屠杀可谓古来有之,无论是秦将白起坑杀四十万赵军,还是成吉思汗在西征时的野蛮屠城,其残忍和惨烈程度丝毫不亚于现代历史上的任何一次大屠杀。然而大多数学者仍然认为,以某个种族整体作为消灭对象的大屠杀,却全部都发生在现代。 正基于此,对于种族清洗现...

A new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most terrible cases (colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda) and cases of lesser violence (early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia). Murderous cleansing is modern, 'the dark side of democracy'. It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethno-national movements each claims 'its own' state over the same territory. Conflict escalates where either the weaker side fights because of aid from outside, or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. Escalation is not simply the work of 'evil elites' or 'primitive peoples'. It results from complex interactions between leaders, militants, and 'core constituencies' of ethno-nationalism. Understanding this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future.
