一种民主理论的兴起——西方协商民主理论的观点分野、理论认知与实践探索

Rise for a Kind of Democratic Theory—— Differences of View, Theoretical Cognition and Practical Exploration for the Western Deliberative Democracy Theory

西方对协商民主理论的研究是建立在代议制民主基础之上的,是为救治现代西方民主而兴起的一种民主理论。对于这种民主理论存在两种观点:一种观点认为协商民主理论是民主政治发展的新范式,是对代议制民主的完善和超越;另一种观点则认为其并非是民主理论的创新,毋宁说是一种复兴。在围绕协商民主理论的认知上也存在分歧:哈贝马斯提出了商谈民主;吉登斯提出了对话民主;扬提出了交往民主。西方学者在理论研究上取得了一定的进展,主要体现在其基本理论的研究、协商民主实验以及对这一理论的前瞻性思考等方面。
