民主转型研究:方法、理论与多样性

Transition to Democracy:Method,Theory and Diversity

在梳理民主转型研究的经典著作时,笔者关注了如下问题:(1)民主转型研究的对象何以从民主产生到民主转型、民主持久?(2)不同学者应用于民主转型研究的方法选择及其不同效应;(3)经济发展、社会结构、政治文化、政治精英和经济改革等核心变量对民主转型的影响以及相关学术争论;(4)民主转型在现实中遭遇的挑战及不同国家/文化民主发展的多样性。

In reading the classical study of democratic transition,the author focuses on the following issues:(1) why the objects of study of democratic transition emerge from democracy to democracy transition and democracy consolidation?(2) methodologies different scholars applied to study and their impacts on research;(3) the effects of economic development,social structure,political culture,political elites and economic reform on democratic transition and relevant academic debates;(4) the challenges democratic transition encountered in the real world and the diversity of democratic development in different countries or cultures.
