米格代尔的国家理论透视及其政治社会学意义

A Perspective of Migdal's Theory of State and Its Significance of Political Sociology

国家是政治学中的一个核心概念。在对国家中心论和社会中心论两种视角的检视中,米格代尔提出了“社会中的国家”这一分析路径。对于包括米格代尔在内的政治社会学家以及革命理论家而言,农民政治学可作为研究20世纪世界范围内社会运动的一个恰当的分析起点。米格代尔的“国家—社会”理论无疑丰富了政治社会学的研究议题和视角,并在一定程度上带来了方法论的革新。然而,这种路径似乎在政治社会学的理论建构上收效甚微,至少并未带来库恩意义上的范式转变。

The state is a core concept in Political Science.In examining the two perspectives of state-centered theory and social-centered theory,Migdal proposed an analytical approach called "state in society".For political sociologists and revolutionary theorists including Migdal,Peasant Politics can serve as an appropriate starting point for analyzing social movements worldwide during the 20th century.Migdal's perspective of "state-society" has undoubtedly enriched the research topics and perspectives of Political Sociology,and led to methodological innovation to a certain extent.However,this approach seems to have little effect on the theoretical construction of Political Sociology,at least not bringing about a paradigm shift in Kuhn's sense.
