现代化研究中风险意识的觉醒及其理论化

The awakening awareness and theories of risks in modernization studies

当代发展理论的产生本身就是独特的风险意识的产物。现代化理论的嬗变中萌生了对风险问题的初步意识,法兰克福学派的现代性批判中风险意识有了较为系统的发展,后现代主义发展理论进一步在哲学层面强化了对风险问题的反思。在现代化研究的全球化转向和现代性与后现代性的当代学术论争中,风险问题成为社会发展理论的关键议题,理论家们建构起了以"风险社会"理论为代表的各种风险研究的理论框架,从而使现代化风险问题达致了高度的理论自觉。

The theories created by the development reflect specific consciousness of risks. The aware- ness grows in the critical theory of Frankfurt school, and the post-modernism promotes it from a philo- sophical perspective. In the contexts of giobalization and debates over the modernity and post-modernity, risks turn to be major propositions of the social development theories. Likewise, risky society is hypothe- sized as the theoretical framework.
