Robert D. Putnam is the Peter and Isabel Malkin Professor of Public Policy at Harvard, where he teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses. Professor Putnam is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of the British Academy, and past president of the American Political Science Association. In 2006, Putnam received the Skytte Prize, one of the world's highest accolades for a political scientist. Raised in a small town in the Midwest and educated at Swarthmore, Oxford, and Yale, he has served as Dean of the Kennedy School of Government.
He has written fourteen books, translated into twenty languages, including the best-selling Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community, and more recently Better Together: Restoring the American Community, a study of promising new forms of social connectedness. His previous book, Making Democracy Work, was praised by the Economist as "a great work of social science, worthy to rank alongside de Tocqueville, Pareto and Weber." Both Making Democracy Work and Bowling Alone are among the most cited publications in the social sciences worldwide in the last half century.
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.
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...
評分 評分 評分帕特南的汤药 白凤 这期决定改变以往的小清新,推荐一本貌似晦涩阅读体验不会太好的好书:罗伯特·帕特南《使民主运转起来》。大学时代,迷恋的社会学著作很多,《使民主运转起来》就是其中一本,最近又重温。至于原因,看看各大报纸头条内容,你懂的。 在...
評分1970年,意大利开始实施一项制度改革,将中央政府手中的权力下放到地区政府。作者借由这个契机进行了一段长达20多年的研究,以期确定地区自治制度究竟是否能有所成效。 研究结果展现了一系列耐人寻味的事实: 首先,人们在政治主张上趋向于中间派,不可调和的冲突大幅下降。 其...
great thoughts. However, Putnam didn't rule out the possibility that the prevalence of civic associations in Northern Italy is not as the result of the region's better economic conditions.
评分與其說是一本民主和政治學的經典著作,不如說是社會科學方法論的典範作品。其在智識上的討論頗有些淺嘗輒止,但確實找對瞭問題——這也得益於作者相對寬闊的視野和智識上的滋養。另外,他也提供瞭一個範例,如何將思想界的問題與實證對接,如何同時貢獻到學科研究和地域研究。它在學科史和方法上的地位,應當是大於這本書的內容本身的。
评分因研究civic society細細讀瞭兩天。研究political culture的經典範本,討論civic traditions對institutional performance的作用,理論格局和實證的對接做的很好,但似乎並沒有排除economic development對civic associations的影響,最後落迴到communitarianism時也不能論證liberalism就不會帶來civic bonds.
