澳门的文化多元与和谐——与亨廷顿“文明冲突论”的讨论

The Cultural Diversity and Harmony in Macao:Reconsidering Huntington's Paradigm of "the Clash of Civilizations"

亨廷顿以“文明的冲突”的范式来解释冷战后世界的格局,这一理论的影响也大大超出其最初的政治学与国际关系学的领域,而渐渐成为决策者、研究者以及普通大众思考多元文化的重要视角之一。在对澳门的多元族群和文化的研究基础上,文章指出在这个城市,多元族群文化以交流、融合为主,突破了亨廷顿所认为造成文明差异和冲突的种种因素,而各自形成了相互借鉴和交融的文化杂合体。

Huntington's paradigm of 'the clash of civilizations' is so popular that it has been an important perspective of politicians, scholars and common people on diversity cultures. Based on the case of Macao, this paper suggests that the multiple ethnic groups in Macao have exempted from the problems regarded to lead to the clash of civilizations by Huntington, and a harmonious situation in Macao has come into being.
