The Dark Side of Democracy pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.

本文原载《新京报·书评周刊》 迈克尔·曼的《民主的阴暗面:解释种族清洗》如果与R.J. Rummel的《权力杀戮:民主作为非暴力的一种方式》同时阅读,将是非常有意思的阅读体验。同样最初出版于2005年,两本书所传达的意思却截然相反:前者试图论述“民主化加剧族群冲突”,而后...
評分这本书的翻译是中国出版界的耻辱!糟糕透顶的翻译把如此精彩的历史书籍彻底毁了,整本书虽然是中文的,但语法结构就是英文的,简直不会说中国话。比如这名话,148页的,“对亚美尼亚可能不是忠诚公民的怀疑在一些人感染上了席卷欧洲的民族主义流毒之时似乎得到了证实”,这句的...
評分民主有没有阴暗面?肯定有。所以,这本书的作者在某种意义上肯定说出了部分真相。民主操作不当,或者不够成熟的时候,阴暗面就会很大。同样,某种“失败的民主”也可能会扩大这种危害性。 同样,性生活有没有危害性?肯定也有。比如,过度的性生活会导致腰酸膝软,影响身体健...

評分1949年,乔治·奥威尔在他的小说《1984》中,描述了一个可怕的极权社会,在这个社会中,85%的无产者被排除在政治决策之外。令人欣慰的是,奥威尔所描述的社会似乎并没有到来,民主化的浪潮则席卷了全球。在许多人看来,“民主”是政治体制发展的最后一个阶段,质疑它,需要很大...
