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》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...
评分回顾中外历史,大屠杀可谓古来有之,无论是秦将白起坑杀四十万赵军,还是成吉思汗在西征时的野蛮屠城,其残忍和惨烈程度丝毫不亚于现代历史上的任何一次大屠杀。然而大多数学者仍然认为,以某个种族整体作为消灭对象的大屠杀,却全部都发生在现代。 正基于此,对于种族清洗现...
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...
评分文/严搏非 本书的作者迈克尔.曼(Michael Mann)是当代最重要的社会学家,而这本《民主的阴暗面》则描述了现代性200年以来的一个极为重要的现象,这一现象直到今天我们仍在面对而无法回避,即:以抽象的“人民”的名义,对另一部分被归为“非人民”的“异己”或族群进行清洗的...
