    (38)一些澳大利亚学者倡导新型政治史，但遇到了一些阻碍，主要是人们不肯放弃对政治的狭隘的理解，即把政治视为“掌握权力的男性精英通过国家权力的政治制度而行使权力”。参见Stuart Macintyre(University of Melbourne),"The Rebirth of Political History," Australian Journal of Politics and History,Volume 56,Number 1,2010,p.3。

    (42)从权力着眼来界定政治，并不仅仅是美国史学界的趋向。法国学者雅克·勒高夫在1971年谈到，在年鉴学派一统天下的时代，法国政治史开始谋求复兴，借助社会学和人类学关于“权力”以及“与权力相关的事实”的概念，取代原来对“国家”和“民族”的关注，以此作为政治的主要内涵，从而使政治史变成了“权力史”，得以突破表面，进入深层。参见Le Goff,"Is Politics Still the Backbone of History?" pp.4-5。

    (50)阿伦特谈到，政治是自由唯一可以存活的领域，而社会则是受到必需性支配的世界，政治一旦逸出边界进入社会领域，或者把政治问题转化为社会问题，必然使自由受到威胁乃至丧失。［美］汉娜·阿伦特著，陈周旺译：《论革命》，译林出版社2007年版。
