civilization-state/文明型国家

The Promise and Progress of the Chinese Model.
一句话说透中国模式的光荣与梦想

China's rapid rise has shaken the world and is influencing the evolution of the entire international landscape and order. However, understanding China is no easy task-its vast scale and complex realities often lead to fragmented interpretations, much like the parable of the blind men and the elephant, where each observer sees only one part of the whole. To truly comprehend China, a holistic perspective is essential.

The concept of the "civilization-state" offers a valuable framework for such an endeavor. This book explores the notion, characteristics, model, institutions, and underlying philosophy of the "civilization-state," while also addressing related issues such as the transformation of political discourse and the predicament of "Western-centric" perspectives.

The "civilization-state" concept deconstructs the mainstream Western narrative about China. It serves to strengthen Chinese people's confidence in their development path and cultural heritage, fosters a comprehensive understanding of China and its rise both domestically and internationally, and facilitates cross-national institutional comparison, assessment, and prediction.
中国的迅速崛起震撼了世界，正影响着整个国际格局和秩序的演变，但是读懂中国不易，因为中国太大，情况太复杂，盲人摸象的解读很多，每个人都只看到中国的一部分。要真正读懂中国，我们需要一种对中国的整体把握。

"文明型国家"概念的提出即是一种有益的尝试，本书探讨了"文明型国家"的概念、特征、模式、制度和理念等主题，也论述了其他一些相关的问题，如政治话语范式的转变、"西方中心主义"的困境等。

"文明型国家"概念解构了西方话语关于中国的主流叙述，它有利于增进国人的道路自信和文化自信，有利于促进国人和外部世界对中国和中国崛起的全面理解和整体把握，也有利于进行跨国的制度比较、评估和预测。
