全球化时代的新民族主义与国家建设

Neo-nationalism and State-building in Globalization Times

民族主义和现代国家并没有因为全球化而过时。现代国家仍然是国际社会的主要行为体,而民族主义还是族群与国家寻求庇护和构筑认同的主要方式。在全球化影响下,民族主义主要以新的形式即少数族裔民族主义表现出来,它对现代国家建设的破坏作用要大于建构性作用。日本作为最纯粹的民族国家类型在战后也出现了民族和外来移民等多元化问题。阿依努人的自治运动和冲绳人的独立诉求以及朝鲜等外来移民争取平等社会权利的运动表明,新民族主义对日本的国家建设已经形成挑战。

Nationalism and modern state have not become obsolete as the course of globalization.Modern state is still the main actor of the international society,and nationalism is still the main way to seek asylum and to build identity by ethnics and states.However,under the influence of globalization,nationalism takes a new form,that’s to say,ethnic nationalism whose destructive effects for modern state-building is greater than construction.Japan,as the most pure type of nation-state,is also suffered by ethnic and immigration issues after the War.The autonomous movements of Ainu,the independence aspirations of Okinawa and the Korean and other immigrant movements for equality,prove that the neo-nationalism has challenged Japan＇s state-building.
