全球化和欧洲化不仅是对国家经济和制度的挑战，也是对国家合法化话语的挑战。本文首先概述了这种话语的理论要求，通过从两个维度来考虑它：包括认知和规范功能的观念性话语和包括协调和交际功能的互动性话语。本文通过对法、英、德三国战后话语建构的实证讨论来说明这些问题。然后，它考察了话语如何应对来自欧洲和全球相关的经济和制度变革对经济组织、社会福利和政治民主的传统观念的挑战。这篇论文的结论是，当法国仍在寻找一种合法的话语时，英国正处于更新其撒切尔话语的过程中，而德国正处于重塑其战后自由社会民主话语的过程中。
Globalisation and Europeanisation represent challenges not only to national economies and institutions but also to national legitimating discourses. This paper first outlines the theoretical requirements for such discourse, by considering it along two dimensions: ideational, which encompasses cognitive and normative functions, and interactive, which encompasses co-ordinative and communicative functions. The paper illustrates these through empirical discussions of the post-war construction of discourses in France, Britain and Germany. It then examines how the discourses have responded to the challenges to traditional conceptions of economic organisation, social welfare, and political democracy from European and globally-related economic and institutional changes. The paper concludes that while France remains in search of a legitimating discourse, Britain is in the process of renewing its Thatcherite discourse, and Germany is in the process of recasting its post-war liberal social-democratic discourse.
