萨托利“有限多数原则”及对我国民族区域自治实践的启示

Sartori's "Limited Majority Principle" and Its Relevation for the Practice of China's Regional Ethnic Autonomy

美国著名政治学家萨托利在《民主新论》一书中为当代西方民主政治提供了相适应的自由民主理论,并为这一理论提出了可行性的有限多数原则。有限多数原则是对传统简单多数原则的修正和超越,遵循多数统治原则的同时保护少数人的权利。基于"有限多数原则"的分析,意在探寻保护民族自治地方非自治主体少数民族权利的应对措施。

In the book 'The Theory of Democracy Revisited' Sartori,the well-known American political scientist provides the corresponding theory of freedom and democracy for contemporary Western democracy,and the feasible'limited majority principle'.The'limited majority principle'is of the amendment and beyond the traditional principles of a simple majority,following the principle of majority rule while protecting minority rights.Based on the analysis of 'limited majority principle',it aims at exploring the solution to protect the rights of non-autonomous subject ethnic minority in ethnic minority autonomous areas.
