本文试图完成的是民族学视野下的欧盟研究。通过审视欧洲人从分散走向联合的步伐,剖析作为新型人们共同体的欧盟的权力、属性与组织功能,阐释作为族际政治实体的欧盟属下民族国家的发展状况,研讨人们共同体的未来发展方向。文章认为建立欧盟是欧洲人的一种理性选择;欧盟不是欧洲邦联、欧洲联邦或欧洲政府,也不等同于国际组织或安全共同体,而是一个兼有超国家政治成分和政府间政治成分的区域性人们共同体;欧盟的超国家机构不是单纯的被动代理人,而是具有相当多的自主性和独立影响的政治实体,它们服务于跨国社会的利益,致力于超国家的治理,其成员国政府的长期利益将日益屈服于跨国社会的长期利益;欧洲一体化的深入发展,造成张扬国家利益与维护民族个性的民族主义表现得更为顽强,超国家权力的扩大与成员国权力缩小的矛盾日益凸显;欧盟的建立并非意味民族国家的终结,欧盟不能代表人们共同体的未来发展趋向。
<<From the perspective of anthropology,this paper examines the European’s stepping from division to integration,analyzes the power,property and function of EU which is a new human community,expounds the development situation of EU’s member states,and discusses the future tendency of human community. The author holds that the EU is a kind of rational choice of Europeans;the EU’s institutions serve the transnational society and work for transnational regulation;the long-term benefits of the member states’governments will lead to the staunch performance of nationalism which publicizes national benefits and defends ethno-national characteristics;the contradiction between the enlargement of the transnational power and the narrowness of the member states’ power is increasingly protruding;the construction of the EU does not mean the end of the nation-states,and EU does not represent the development tendency of human community.
