欧美在中东民主治理上的分歧与合作

欧美在中东展开的民主治理是各自全球治理的重要组成部分,双方成为在中东实施民主治理的两个最大国际行为体,尽管它们对民主的侧重点、伊斯兰与民主关系、中东战略地位以及中东民主化的主导权等方面虽有不同认知,但对民主和中东民主的必要性与有效性存在相同认知,深究其因,双方中东民主治理的差异源于欧美所处的历史阶段、发展起点与路径以及利益攸关地区的根本不同.只有打破将西方视作铁板一块的旧有观念,才能对中东与欧美在民主等问题上的关系产生更理性的认识.

The Disparity and Cooperation in European Union and the US's Democratic Governance in the Middle East

The democratic governance implemented by European Union and America separately is one of the important parts of their global governance. EU and America are the two biggest international actors of democratic governance in the Middle East, and they have different understanding about the focus of democracy, Islam- democracy relation, Middle East's strategic position and the leadership of Middle East's democratization, while they have the same perspective in the necessity and usefulness of democracy. The disparity and cooperation of European Union's and America's democratic governance in the Middle East result in the differences of historical phase, state's evolution starting point, route and backyard. Only breaking the concept of "west", can we acquire rational recognitions about Middle East-EU/ America relation on democracy.
