摘要

当18世纪的革命精英开始设计新的政治秩序时,他们利用了对“民主”的普遍理论理解,认为这是非常不受欢迎的。因此,他们设计的政府机构使民众的参与受到极大限制。在法国和美国,新的政治建设从来没有按计划进行。革命时代的动员并没有像宪法设计者所希望的那样消失。更深刻的是,由于三个过程的汇合,具有挑战性的社会运动无意中融入了现代民主的结构:民主掌权者的合法性主张也使抗议合法化;现代民主的体制结构,特别是通过选举分配职务,也为社会运动提供了结构上的支持;民主的实践经常引发强烈的政治情绪,激发抗议。因此,理解民主需要一种社会运动和治理机构从一开始就相互作用的理论。

Overflowing Channels: How Democracy Didn’t Work as Planned (and Perhaps a Good Thing It Didn’t)
When eighteenth-century revolutionary elites set about designing new political orders, they drew on commonplace theoretical understandings of “democracy” as highly undesirable. They therefore designed government institutions in which popular participation was to be extremely limited. The new political constructions, in both France and the United States, never worked as planned. The mobilizations of the revolutionary era did not vanish as the constitutional designers hoped. More profoundly, challenging social movements were unintentionally woven into the fabric of modern democracy due to the confluence of three processes: The legitimacy claims of democratic powerholders also legitimate protest; the institutional architecture of modern democracy, especially the allocation of office through elections, provides structural support for social movements as well; and the practices of democracy recurrently trigger politically powerful emotions that energize protest. Understanding democracy therefore demands a theory of the interplay of social movements and governing institutions from the foundational moment.
