网络民族主义、市民社会与中国外交

Cyber Nationalism,Civil Society Configuration and China’s Foreign Affairs

近年来,网络空间下中国大众民族主义逐渐成为影响中国社会和中国外交的新因素。从中国网络民族主义的政治社会属性和作用上看,它正拓展着中国的公共领域(以国家民族主义和族裔民族主义为核心议题),催生着中国市民社会的新构造,反映着中国的民族主义思潮,推动着网络内外中国大众的民族主义行动。作为一种社会思潮与社会运动,中国大众的网络民族主义因其信息获取能力增强、社会动员能力增强、所涉问题敏感程度较高、引发国内外媒体介入以及决策者执政理念和方式的变化,从而能够影响中国外交进程与决策。由于一些原因,这种影响仍是有限的,但它还是意味着中国外交决策面临新的环境和考验。

In recent years,Chinese Cyber nationalism has been a new element affecting China’s society and foreign diplomacy.It enlarges china’s public sphere,publicizes China’s popular nationalism,and advances nationalism movement outside internet.As a social trend and movement,China’s cyber nationalism has a strong capability of collecting information and social mobilization.In addition,the sensitive issues involved,the attention of media both home and abroad,and the changing way of governance of Chinese decision makers all make cyber nationalism capable of affecting china’s foreign affairs and policy-making.Although such effect is limited,it has still posed a challenge to China’s foreign policy-making.
