The Third Democratic Transformation: From European to Planetary Politics
探讨了以“第三次民主转型”为标签的行星政治的到来，认为欧盟可作为民主转型的实验室，并描述了转型的六个核心属性（跨时间、跨国、跨模式、跨地方、跨尺度及跨语言），对政治学和国际关系学者有参考价值。
Abstract This contribution to the symposium explores one aspect of the arrival of planetary politics under the broad label of the third democratic transformation, a transformation unfolding now at all levels of governance, from the local to the global through the regional, in spite of the anti‐democratic forces at play around the world. This article starts by exploring the new frontier of normative power Europe in a post‐colonial key, arguing that the European Union can serve as a laboratory for such a democratic transformation, around four interrogations related to claims of decentring, doubting, experimenting and decolonising. It then offers a descriptive‐normative typology of the core attributes of the third democratic transformation observable in numerous signs and practices both in Europe and around the world through a sixfold evolution, namely, trans‐temporal, transnational, trans‐modal, trans‐local, trans‐scalar and, across all these, translational. It concludes on the conditions of possibility for this transformation.
