后发展主义诞生于二十世纪九十年代,在批判传统发展理论的过程中逐步壮大成熟,但在我国尚未对其进行成体系的研究。后发展理念从哲学归属上讲带有极强的后现代主义色彩,但同时也在社会发展实践研究上多有建树。通过整体性地抛弃传统发展范式,后发展观倡导一系列新的发展取向,包括重振地方文化、重视地方主体以及通过推动原生的草根运动实现发展,等等。后发展主义为我们重新审视民族发展问题提供了一个新颖的视角,同时在理论与实践方面,后发展主义对我国传统民族发展研究也具有较强的启示与借鉴意义。 Post-developmentism was born in the 90s of the 20th century and gradually matured in the process of criticizing the traditional development theory. However, it has not yet been studied systematically in China. The philosophy of post-development possesses a strong postmodernism from the perspective of philosophical affiliation, but at the same time, it has also done much in practical research of social development. By abandoning the traditional paradigm of development in its entirety, the concept of post-development advocates a series of new development orientations, including revitalization of local culture, emphasis on local subjects and development through the promotion of native grassroots movements. Post-developmentism provides a novel perspective for us to re-examine the issue of national development. In the aspect of theory and practice, post-developmentism also has strong implications for the study of China’s traditional ethnic development.
