摘　　要：当代民主转型理论的发展与方法论创新密切相关。结构分析从经济发展的视角考察民主化的动力,关注政治转型的社会约束条件。行动者分析认为,精英人物的策略选择决定民主转型的进程,强调政治过程的自主性。在宏观结构分析与微观行动者分析的融合中,民主转型被视为结构约束与行动者选择共同作用的结果。民主制度建立在社会条件的基础上,社会结构在限定行动者选择的同时,在变迁过程中提供制度发展的机会空间,为行动者发挥建构作用创造条件。The development of contemporary democratic transition theory is closely connected to methodological innovations. Structural analyses examine the impetus of democratization from the perspective of economic development, with the focus on social constraints on political transition. Actor analyses point out that strategic choices by elites determine the schedule of democratic transition. Those that combine the two approaches see democratic transition as the result of the interaction between structural constraints and the choices of actors. A democratic system is based on so- cial conditions, and on the one hand, it limits actors, while on the other hand, it offers opportunities for institutional development in the course of structural change, which creates favorable conditions for actors to play a constructive role.
