边界拓展与时代超越:对公共产品理论的再思考——兼论人类命运共同体的理论必然

Boundary Expansion and Time Transcendence:Rethinking the Theory of Public Goods and Discussing the Theoretical Necessity of Human Destiny Community

公共产品是众多学术领域的重要概念,其理论发端于西方学者追求个人自由价值的表达,并由此激发出对政府公共职能和国家财政等有关问题的讨论,最终形成了理论上的消费范式和供给范式两大学派。全球化加速的现实迫使人类面对越来越多共同的挑战和问题,倒逼公共产品理论突破国家边界,进一步深化与拓展,由此进入全球公共产品理论阶段。在应对重大公共风险的全球公共产品供给(如新冠疫苗)过程中所出现的困境和问题更使人们反思理论与现实的巨大差距,有必要推动公共产品理论进入更高时代新阶段,即人类命运共同体。中国作为人类命运共同体的提出国,也用自己的行动很好地诠释了其核心要义和共同规则,为全球化治理新时代贡献了中国力量、中国话语、中国智慧和中国方案。

Public goods is an important concept in many academic fields,and its theory originated from Western scholars’pursuit for the expression of the value of individual freedom,which stimulated the discussion of issues related to governmental public functions and state finances,and ultimately led to the formation of two major schools of thought,namely,the consumption paradigm and the supply paradigm.The accelerated reality of globalization has forced mankind to face more and more common challenges and problems,forcing the theory of public goods to break through national boundaries and further deepen and expand,thus entering the stage of global public goods theory.In the process of supplying global public goods to cope with major public risks(e.g.,COVID-19 vaccine),the arisen dilemmas and problems have led people to reflect on the huge gap between theory and reality,and it is necessary to promote the theory of public goods to enter a new stage of a higher era,i.e.,the human destiny community.China,as the proponent of the human destiny community,has also interpreted its core meaning and common rules well with its own actions,contributing Chinese power,Chinese discourse,Chinese wisdom and Chinese approach to the new era of globalized governance.
