民主化进程中的族际冲突研究

On Ethnic Conflicts in the Process of the Democratization

在现代国家中,民主化对族际冲突的影响是复杂的。无论是发达国家,还是发展中国家,民主化都可能会放大族际冲突,成为族际冲突的催化剂。同时,民主也会因为更容易推进认同、交往等有利于民族和解的条件,并通过议会、政党、地方自治等制度安排而有利于促进各民族共融。民主化早期容易激发族际冲突,但是随着民主的深入,民主逐渐会较正向地缓和冲突。民主化应该采取渐进策略,并选择更适合民族关系缓和的路径、要素,才会更好地通过民主化缓和族际冲突。

In modern countries,the impact of the democratization on ethnic conflicts is complex.Both the developed countries and developing countries,the democratization may become a catalyst for ethnic conflicts.At the same time,it is also a factor which promotes the ethnic reconciliation and harmony owing to its promotion of the ethnic interaction and identity based on system arrangements,such as parliaments,political parties,local autonomy,and so on.In the early period of the democratization,it is easy to arouse ethnic conflicts.However,with the deepening of the democratization,it will gradually ease those conflicts.So,gradual measures and suitable clues should be chosen for the democratization,which alleviates ethnic conflicts through the democratization.
