摘要
世界古代共同体和国家的公共权力的构成形式,即民主与专制政体问题,长期以来都是国内外学术界的重要关注点。国内有学者概括了判定民主的部落联盟的四条标准,即没有最高首脑、全体一致通过的议事原则、部落之间相互独立而又平等的关系、部落联盟的二权制或三权制。但一经验之于历史实际,我们就会发现,这些标准的有效性是值得商榷的。为此,我们重新界定了世界古代民主与专制政体的概念,并提出了非专制政体这一新概念,从而重建了判定世界古代民主与专制政体的新标准。
It has been an academic focus on how to define the democracy and autocracy in ancient history. Some Chinese scholars summarized four standards judging democratic tribe federation: no supreme leader, unanimous principle of decisionmaking, egalitarian relationship between independent tribes, bi-powers or tri-powers system of the tribe federation. However, putting these standards in studying the historical reality, we will find that they are not so effective. Therefore, we have redefined the concepts of ancient democracy and autocracy and proposed the new concept of non-autocracy to help us judge the political structure of human society in ancient time.
