国家、祖国和政权是三个不同的概念,有着十分严格的界限和内涵。但在许多国人头脑中,并不清晰,经常混淆。前不久,任志强、贺卫方关于国家、祖国和政权的微博,在网络和手机客户端疯传,并在网友中引发了强烈反响。近日,凤凰网主笔、本刊特约记者张弘专访了政治学学者、中国人民大学国际关系学院教授任剑涛,请他从政治学的角度对这三者之间的关系做了梳理,并对公民与爱国主义这一话题做了仔细的辨析。我们相信,任剑涛教授的专业解释,有助于读者对这些问题的理性思考。 The state, the motherland and the government are three different concepts and have very strict boundaries and connotations. However, in many people’s minds, it is not clear and often confused. Not long ago, Ren Zhiqiang and He Weifang microblogged about the country, the motherland and the regime, soaring on the Internet and mobile phone clients, and aroused strong repercussions among users. Recently, Fenghuang Wang, Penghu’s correspondent Zhang Hong, interviewed political scientist and Ren Jian Tao, a professor of international relations at Renmin University, asking him to sort out the relationship between the three from a political science perspective, Patriotism has been carefully analyzed on this topic. We believe Professor Ren Jiantao’s professional explanation will help readers to think rationally about these issues.
