当前西方制度危机的三重解读

The Triple Interpretation of the Current Western System Crisis

民粹主义和反全球化的兴起,让西方制度危机活生生呈现在世人面前。从大历史看,人类进入大转型、大风险时期,西方制度缺乏真正的革新,难以适应世界之变,酿成"民主悖论"。从中观历史看,世界迄今未走出全球金融危机,西方国家普遍出现反全球化、反一体化现象,制度危机的经济基础在动摇。生产方式与生活方式不匹配,传统政坛的左中右格局被打破。从短期或近历史看,移民、宗教、一体化交织在一起,考验西方的身份认同,民众不再纠缠于精英政治的"政治正确",而是借助新媒体不断表达自己,释放感性政治的威力。

The rise of populism and anti-globalization movement has presented the Western system crisis vividly before the world. From the historical point of view, mankind is entering a great transformation and great risk period, the Western system lacks real innovation and has difficulty in adapting to the world changes, leading to ＂democratic paradox＂. From the middle-term historical perspective, the world has not yet recovered from the global financial crisis, the Western countries generally have anti- globalization, anti-integration phenomenon, and the economic foundation of the system crisis is shaken. Production mode and lifestyle do not match, and the left-neutral-right pattern of the traditional politics is broken. From the short-term or near history perspective, immigration, religion and integration are intertwined, challenging the identity recognition of the West. The people are no longer bewildered by the ＂political correctness＂ of the elite politics, with the new media they continue to express themselves, and demonstrate the power of emotional politics.
