本文为哥伦比亚大学教授黎安友(Andrew J. Nathan)2015年10月在“塞缪尔∙李普塞特世界民主讲座”(Seymour Martin Lipset Lecture on Democracy in the World)上演讲的讲稿。李普塞特是现代化理论的主要奠基人。他从社会经济结构的角度探讨民主的发生与存在条件。黎安友教授演讲的英文版发表于《民主杂志》(Journal of Democracy) 2016年4月号,总第27期。中译文首发于《中国战略分析》2017年第1期,2017年1月15日。
> 我个人从没有跟西摩·马丁·李普塞特(Seymour Martin Lipset)见过面;我到哥伦比亚大学的时候他已经离开了。李普塞特写过一篇自传体文章——《稳定的工作:一篇学术回忆录》,里面回顾了他在1943年成为哥伦比亚大学博士的经过。我看到觉得非常有趣。他说他当时在纽约市立学院(CityCollege)的社会学系拿到了一个教职,而那个教职要求受聘者必须得是在册研究生。因为哥伦比亚大学离那只有1英里远,下个坡再上个坡就到了,所以他就去了哥伦比亚大学。[1]我心想,今天要是选择一个研究生项目也像那么简单就好了。
作为一个哥伦比亚大学的博士生和年轻讲师,李普塞特当时是跟罗伯特·莫顿(RobertMerton)和保罗·拉扎斯菲尔德(Paul Lazarsfeld)这样奠定了现代政治社会学基础的学术巨匠一起工作的。等到我在20世纪60年代中期进入研究生院的时候,李普塞特的著作已经成为我们博士资格考试的必读书了。现在,我作为一个资深的学者,会抱怨学生们不去读本学科的经典著作。但李普塞特在1960年出版的《政治人》是个例外,大家都会去读。特别有影响的是他在1959年发表的文章《民主的一些必要条件:经济发展与政治合法性》(“Some Social Requisites of Democracy: Economic Development andPolitical Legitimacy”),收在这本书中作为一章,题为《经济发展与民主》(“EconomicDevelopment and Democracy”)。这篇文章讨论了他的一个经典命题:“一个国家的经济越发达,它就越可能维持(sustain)民主制度”。[2]李普塞特(讲明是在亚里士多德、马基雅维利和韦伯的影响下)提出:经济发展会扩大中产阶级,而中产阶级会支持民主。
中国中产阶级与李普塞特界定的中产阶级的不同之处,主要体现在四个方面。第一,中国的中产阶级占总人口的比重要小得多。陆学艺和他的同事在1999年估算中产阶级占了总人口的14.1%;陆学艺在之后的一次采访中说,到2008年这个数字会增长为22%—23%。[8]其他的学者也给出了相似的数据。虽然李普塞特并没有明确说他研究的中产阶级在总人口中应占多大比重,但他提出了一个“钻石型”的社会结构,其中间部分占的比重是最大的。相反,中国社会学家却在抱怨中国社会是“金字塔型”的:一个较小的中产阶级被极小的上层阶级和庞大的下层阶级挤在中间。中产阶级占据了一个有特权的社会岛(privileged social island)——具体而言就是生活在目前城市中非常普遍的“住宅小区”(gated communities)之中。中产阶级的成员会害怕,在一个多数人统治的社会,他们必须服从于下层阶级的利益。
第三个中国中产阶级的特殊之处在于它的“新”。李普塞特的中产阶级起源于中世纪的欧洲城市,作为一个不寻常的阶级在17世纪出现。它与现代民族国家和民主制度一起成长,而且拥有被广泛认同且具合法地位的身份。相反,严格地说,中国的中产阶级在1979年之前并不存在。共产革命之前存在的一个小规模的中产阶级在1950年代就被彻底消灭了,取而代之的是罗卡(Jean-Louis Rocca)所说的过着朴素生活、受少数党内精英领导的“一支多层级工人的军队”(an army of stratified workers)。[11]
然而,如果经济增长停滞,或者现政权开始左转(可能性很小)并侵害中产阶级的利益,中产阶级的安宁生活就会受到威胁。城市的生活方式会难以为继,越来越多的大学毕业生会找不到好工作。我们应该提醒自己,李普塞特没有说中产阶级会永远支持民主。李普塞特在另一篇著名的文章《“法西斯主义”——左、中、右》(“‘Fascism’—Left,Right, and Center”)里告诉我们,当中产阶级的经济和社会地位的安全程度降低,他们有可能会支持某种形式的极端主义。[29]在中国,这种极端主义很可能产生自仇外的民族主义,而这种民族主义正是政府一直作为支撑其合法的一种资源来推广的。为了表达这种民族主义的愤怒,中产阶级可能会指责政府叛国或者软弱,而这将推动政权往更为专制的方向发展。
