民族国家与现代民族的“政治性”、“国民性”

On Nation-state and the "politicization" & "citizenization" of Modern Nationa lilies

现代民族起源于欧洲。伴随着西欧民族国家的诞生 ,民族的原生意义得到了扩展 ,进入了现代发展阶段。现代民族突破了古代民族受血缘、地缘、语言、文化等客观因素的限制 ,随着社会经济的发展 ,它还加强了人们对原有的民族共同体的政治认同 ,与此同时 ,要求建立主权在民的民主政体赋予了现代民族“政治性”和“国民性”。

With the establishment of nation-states in Western Europe, the original meaning of nation had got a great development and came into a brand new phase-the phase of Modern Nation. Modern Nation has broken such objective restrictions as blood, geographical elements, language and culture which had once exerted tremendous effect on Primitive Nation. Especially the economic development strengthened the people's subjective identification on their own community. Then, Modern Nation was endued with 'politicization' and 'citizenization' with the establishment of democratic countries.
