现代化的开放性——论外部因素对民族国家现代化进程的影响

The impact of external factors on the state modernization

现代化并非是在一个国家内部孤立、封闭的发展过程,而是在国际范围内多种因素作用和影响下开放性的变迁过程。这些外部因素与国内因素的碰撞、交融和互动,是影响一国现代化起始、发展和模式转换的重要力量。认识外部因素这种作用,需要突破传统的内外因关系分析框架,用全球视野重新审视外部因素的非传统作用。

Rather than a process detached from the international environment, the modernization of a nation stems from a great variety of external factors, which clash, intermingle and interact with internal factors and thus significantly influence and enable the initiation, evolution, and mode transformation of the modernizing course. In order to understand the vital impact of the external factors, the conventional approach of analyzing the relationship between internal and external factors needs to be modified and replaced by a world - wide perception of the non - traditional roles played by external factors.
