当代中国政治文化研究主题及其特点

On the Themes and Its Characteristics of the Study of the Contemporary Chinese Political Culture

20世纪80年代后期,政治文化研究开始在我国兴起。从1988年到2008年这20年间,研究当代中国的政治文化是一个热点。以中国加入世界贸易组织后的2002年为界,将其划分为两个时段,通过对这两个时段的研究文章的综合考察,发现这些研究的主题基本上一以贯之地集中在对待中国传统政治文化与西方政治文化,当代中国政治文化的格局与特性、如何构建当代中国政治文化这三个方面,并存在着稳定性与连续性的特点。这表明当代中国政治文化研究所要解决的主要任务没有发生变化。同时,通过对前后研究的对比,可以看到当代中国政治文化仍然处于过渡期而没有走向比较稳定的状态,相反在全球化和市场经济的背景下,构建现代化的当代中国政治文化设置了重重困难,从而决定了政治文化研究仍然要解决文化价值的认同与凝聚问题。

In the end of 1980s, the study of political culture began to rise in our country. The study of the contemporary Chinese political culture is a hotspot in the last twenty years form 1988 to 2008. Thereinto,2002 has been taken as a borderline to plot out two period of time for China entered the WTO in 2001. Based on the comprehensive review on the articles in the two phases,it＇s found that the consistent theme of the relative study focusing on the following three aspects as the attitude towards Chinese and western political cultures, the pattern and characteristics of contemporary political culture of China, and how to construct the Chinese political culture. It indicates that there is no change in the main task in the study of the contemporary Chinese political culture. On the basis of the comparison between the articles of the former and latter periods,it＇s shown that the contemporary Chinese political culture is still in the period of transition instead of relative steadibility. On the contrary,its characteristics increasingly become more complicated in the background of globalization and market economy, which has brought many difficulties to the construction of modern Chinese political culture. Therefore, the study of the political culture must involve the solution to the issues of self identity and cohesion of cultural values.
