The Dark Side of Democracy pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.

迈克尔·曼的《民主的阴暗面:解释种族清洗》如果与R.J. Rummel的《权力杀戮:民主作为非暴力的一种方式》同时阅读,将是非常有意思的阅读体验。同样最初出版于2005年,两本书所传达的意思却截然相反:前者试图论述“民主化加剧族群冲突”,而后者想说的则是“民主缓冲社会的暴...
評分《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,...
評分回顾中外历史,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...
評分此书的最核心论点可以被概括为:在民族冲突激烈的地区,民主是危险的,因为在这些地区,民主更可能被种族主义 / 民族主义绑架。二十世纪的种族灭绝是现代特征,古代史上从未有过。古代史上当然有很多死亡率高于二十世纪的大屠杀,作者认为蓄意的、以灭绝整个民族人口为目标的大...
評分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...
