摘要
中国思想界基本上把公民社会视为民主政治的最重要的社会基础。这种流行的观念看上去似乎不错,因为没有社会自治也就不会有真正的民主政治。但是,本文所检视的公民社会理论和比较历史视野下的鲜活案例告诉我们,公民社会与民主政治——国家治理之间并不是简单的正向的线性关系,有时甚至是逆向关系,比如意大利南部、印度和大中东地区的作为公民组织的穆斯林兄弟会就是这样。认真研究后的理论发现是,公民社会的性质即"民情",是连接公民社会与民主政治的中介机制;公民社会的民情决定着民主政治和国家治理之间的各种可能性关系。
The Chinese academy basically regards civic society as the most important condition of democratic politics, which is so popular in that all people believe that there is no democracy without social autonomy. This article tells that there are very complicated relationships between civic society and democratic politics or democratic governance. Sometimes they even have a reverse relationship such as in the cases of the South Italy, India and Muslim Brotherhood. The theoretical finding of this article is that the ＂moeurs＂ of civic society shall be an intermediary mechanism linking civic society and democratic politics so that the moeur of civic society determines all the various relations between civic society and democratic governance.
