【摘要】：在冷战时期,经过两代人几十年的努力,西方国家最终实现了民主话语权的逆袭。今天流行的自由主义民主理论是通过"三步走"而建构起来的,第一步是改造民主的概念,第二步是将民主框定在自由主义框架之内,第三步是改造合法性概念并论证只有以竞争性选举为核心的自由民主政体才具有合法性。自由民主是高度附条件性的,那就是发达的资本主义、约束权力的自由主义和均质化的政治文化。然而,理论上以竞争性选举为核心的自由民主与西方国家建设中的"时间性"逻辑南辕北辙,结果效法自由主义民主理论而转型的国家基本上陷入"无效民主"的泥淖,沉迷于冷战胜利的西方国家也因自由民主的神话而丧失了制度更新能力。
[Abstract]:During the Cold War period, after decades of efforts by two generations of people, the western countries finally realized the counterattack of the right of democratic discourse. The popular theory of liberal democracy today is constructed through "three steps". The first step is to transform the concept of democracy and the second is to frame democracy within a liberal framework. The third step is to transform the concept of legitimacy and demonstrate that only a liberal democracy with competitive elections at its core has legitimacy. Liberal democracy is highly conditional, namely, developed capitalism. The liberal and homogeneous political culture of restraining power. However, the theory of free democracy with competitive election as the core is different from the "temporal" logic in the construction of western countries. As a result, the countries transformed from the liberal democratic theory basically fell into the quagmire of "invalid democracy", and the western countries indulging in the victory of the cold war also lost the ability to renew their institutions because of the myth of liberal democracy.
