中心统合主义:大一统国家的一个理论阐释

Central Unificationism:A Theoretical Interpretation of the Grand Unification State

不同于帝国政治体系,大一统国家体现出中心统合主义的秩序机理。作为体系性范畴的中心,在治体论的传统构架上注重政治价值、主体与制度三类要素围绕系统和体系的双重统合。由此确立的体系中心是实现一体化秩序的动力机制,其实质是能够发展出统合性治理模式的核心力量。在此视野下,汉代从奉行黄老之学到尊儒更化的转变标志着体系统合的升级优化。这一类优化对于历史上政权的维续十分重要,其成败关系到国家巩固或衰败。中心统合主义机理不仅有助于把握大一统国家变迁的历史逻辑,也因其导向一体凝合的立国形态,从而与中心离散的帝国类型区分开来。

Unlike the imperial political system,the Grand Unification State embodies the ordering mechanism of central unificationism.As a systemic category,the center focuses on the dual integration of the three elements of political values:political subjects,political institutions around the system and the system in the traditional structure of the Zhi-ti theory.The center of the system established by this logic is the driving mechanism for the realization of the integrated order,which in essence is the core force that can develop the unifying governance model.In this perspective,the shift of Han Dynasty from Huang-Lao to Confucianism marks the optimization of systemic unification,which is very important for the maintenance of a regime and relates to its consolidation or decline.The mechanism of central integrationism not only helps to grasp the historical logic of the change and improvement of the great unified state,but also distinguishes it from the type of empire with discrete centers because it is oriented towards a unitary and cohesive form of statehood.
