Michael Mann is a Professor of Sociology at University of California, Los Angeles. He is author of The Sources of Social Power, 2nd edition (Cambridge University Press, 2012-13) and Fascists (Cambridge University Press, 2004).
A new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most terrible cases (colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, Rwanda) and cases of lesser violence (early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia). Murderous cleansing is modern, 'the dark side of democracy'. It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethno-national movements each claims 'its own' state over the same territory. Conflict escalates where either the weaker side fights because of aid from outside, or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. Escalation is not simply the work of 'evil elites' or 'primitive peoples'. It results from complex interactions between leaders, militants, and 'core constituencies' of ethno-nationalism. Understanding this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future.
《民主的阴暗面》,迈克尔·曼著,严春松译,中央编译出版社,2015年7月第1版。似乎叫“人性的阴暗面”更合适。作者认为种族清洗是现代才出现的,故将之归结为现代制度下的行为,但似乎所谓北方国家、即“民主”国家才能摆脱这种行为。作为社会学专著,读来过于专业细致,...
评分《民主的阴暗面》这一书名极具争议,看上去有几分令人不快的味道——因为很多人认为民主没有阴暗面,就算有也不是种族清洗。读完这厚厚的八百页,不少人的心中可能会涌起一个困惑:作者把土耳其、美国、纳粹德国、苏联、红色高棉、卢旺达等种种看似完全不相干的政体形式都放在...
评分文 / 李公明 20世纪,人类遭受了许多被以“种族清洗”或“阶级清洗”等动机驱使的大屠杀。然而,那无数邪恶的引擎是如何疯转起来的?对此,很少有人能够精准地洞悉和描述。种族与人民的关系、独裁与民主的制度演变、受害者与施害者的心理动机……还有更多的事件、人物等复杂因...
评分在多民族国家,民主化如何可能?自约翰•密尔以降,许多社会科学家都共同关注过这一问题。众人皆知,在民主化转型过程中,很容易出现下列情况:一、国家控制能力变弱;二、政客诉诸民族感情、利益对社会下层进行政治动员;三、政客攀比(outbidding),竞相向极端思想、政策...
评分这部著作的问世在国内引起了不小的关注,自然,作为一个对民主转型有着独特学术兴趣的读者,也拔了草。平心而论,这部书如果可以换个标题就值五星,我给了三星是因为他大概还需要再换个翻译。 为什么我认为他应该换个标题呢?因为其实曼所讨论的更多是现代性对于种族灭绝的影响...
