当代西方政治文化研究的方法论特征

On the Characteristics of the Methodology for the Study of Current Western Political Culture

20世纪80年代中期以来,西方政治文化研究得以“回归”与“复兴”,其在方法论上的一个重要变化就是在承传以往优秀研究传统的基础上,主要实现了从偏重微观解释的研究到微观与宏观的互动、从主观心理向度的研究到主观与客观的连接、从相对稳定的静态解释到静态与动态的统一、从关注传统因素的分析到重视传统与现代的融合、从文化决定论到政治文化的多因素分析、从西方中心论到全球地方化特色的研究等重大变革与创新。

The study of western political culture got its 'revisited' and 'renaissance'in the 1980s of the 20th century. An important change in relation to methodology is its realization of micro and macro coordination from emphasis on micro-explanation,the subjective and objective connection from the emphasis on subjective psychology, the unity of static state and moving state from the state of relative steadiness, the merger traditional and modern factors from the caring of analysis of traditional factor, analysis of various factors of political culture from one that culture is decisive,the study of global localization from one that the West is the center, on the basis of the fine traditions in previous study.
