近代中国政治变迁:“一个时段,三种进程”

The Political Change of Modern China:“A Period,Three Processes”

对于近代中国政治变迁的动因与性质,中外学者提出了三种主要的解释模式:革命叙事、现代化叙事与长时段叙事。这些叙事在理论预设与解释力等方面有所欠缺,因此构建一种综合的解释模式有助于研究的推进。新型解释模式的基本假设来自于学者对托克维尔著作的重新解读,这种模式关注行动者的身份建构及其与政治变迁的相互作用。

There are three main models for the interpretation of the causes and the nature of political change of modern China： revolutionary narrative, modernization narrative and long period narrative. Their theoretical hypotheses and empirical analyses have been criticized by Chinese and foreign scholars.In order to promote the research,it is useful to build a synthetic model.While the basic hypotheses of this new model are based on the reinterpretation of Tocqueville＇s work,it focuses on the process of identity construction and the interaction between such process and the political change.
