中国民族地区现代化建设成效与基本经验

The Effect and Basic Experience of Construction of Modernization in Ethnic Areas in China

民族地区现代化是国家建设的重要议题。“二战”后的西方现代化理论为欠发达国家和地区“设计”了一套实现现代化的学说,但其解释力与中国民族工作实践相形见绌。国内学者建构了反思民族地区现代化的话语,但无法准确全面解释当下民族地区现代化图景。在铸牢中华民族共同体意识主线下,民族地区现代化不仅是一个地区经济发展问题,更是一个建设中华民族共同体的政治问题。实践表明,中国民族地区现代化不是“西化”和“汉化”,而是中华民族共同体化。在民族平等基础之上,各民族共同团结奋斗形成了民族地区与国家之间、民族地区与其他地区之间、各民族之间的互助互惠互利关系,构成了建设中华民族共同体的基本动力机制。

The modernization of ethnic areas is an important issue in the national construction of a unified multi-ethnic country.Although western theories of modernization"designed"a set of theories for realizing modernization in less-developed countries and regions after World War II,these theories were overshadowed by China’s ethnic work practices.Domestic scholars have constructed the discourse of reflecting on the modernization of ethnic areas,but they cannot accurately explain the current modernization of ethnic areas in China.Under the main line of fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation,the modernization of ethnic areas is not only aproblem of regional economic development,but also a political problem related to the construction of community for the Chinese nation.The modernization practice of ethnic areas in China shows that the modernization of ethnic areas in China is not"westernization"or"Sinicization",but the realization of community for the Chinese nation.On the basis of ethnic equality,all ethnic groups have worked together to form a relation of mutual assistance and mutual benefit between ethnic areas and the state,between ethnic areas and other areas,and among ethnic groups,which has become an basic driving force for fostering a community of the Chinese nation.
