重思三维权力观的概念意涵、理论嬗变及政治传播研究实践

Rethinking the Conceptual Implication,Theoretical Transmutation and Political Communication Research Practices of the Three-Dimensional View of Power

解读权力关系是社会科学研究领域的一项重要议题。三维权力观作为揭示权力本质的学说,在探究权力如何具体投射于经验世界方面有着深刻的学理渊源,是实证研究中被用来概念化权力机制的有效理论工具,该理论在国内的关注度仍待加强。通过重思三维权力观的阐释效能,明确该理论概念意涵,梳理其横亘半世纪的创立、改进和完善的理论嬗变过程,并进一步从宏观权力博弈、中观权力机制、微观权力结构等方面考察三维权力观在政治传播研究中的实践应用,开展对三维权力观学说的总览式引介。三维权力观提出了明晰的权力阐释路径,有助于解释微观因果关系、评估中观机构体制和剖析宏观社会制度,为政治传播等研究领域贡献了值得借鉴的研究思路和理论框架,从而能更好地找准国际政治传播与权力博弈中的发力点,以及更清晰描绘国内政治传播与微观权力互动实践图景。

Interpreting power relations is an essential issue in the field of social science research.The three-dimensional view of power,as a doctrine that reveals the nature of power,has deep theoretical roots in exploring how power is concretely projected in the realm of experience,and is an effective theoretical tool used to conceptualizethe mechanism of power in empirical research,but the attention of this theory is emphasized in China.By rethinking the effectiveness of the three-dimensional concept of power,this study clarifies the conceptual meaning of the theory,summarizes the transmutation process of its creation,improvement and refinement over the past half-century,and further examines its practical application in the study of political communication in terms of macroscopic power games,mesoscopic power mechanisms and microscopic power structures,as an overview of the doctrine of the three-dimensional concept of power.The three-dimensional view of power proposes a distinct path of power interpretation,which is helpful in explaining micro-causality,assessing meso-institutions and analyzing macro-social systems,and contributes worthwhile research ideas and theoretical frameworks for political communication research,thus better identifying the starting point of the game of power in international political communication and power,and more clearly depicting the interactive landscape of domestic political communication and micro-power practices.
