摘要
罗马帝国在公元3世纪经历了长期的动荡,到了3世纪末,戴克里先皇帝对罗马帝国行政体制进行了改革,通过加强中央集权巩固了罗马政府的统治,有效地稳定了罗马帝国各地的局势。此后,罗马帝国的统治者们沿袭了中央集权的官僚体制,但却并未对其作进一步改良。过度的集权不仅动摇了罗马帝国在地中海各地的统治基础,实际上也使得统治者难以掌控日益集权化的官僚体制。这一问题最终和蛮族入侵等外因结合在一起,导致罗马帝国衰亡。
Excessive centralization and the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire The Roman Empire ex perienced many years of turbulence during the third century. In the end of the third century, Emperor Di ocletian reformed the administrative system of the Roman Empire, by strengthening the centralization he consolidated the ruling of the Roman government and effectively stabilize the situation in various regions of the Empire. The following rulers of the Roman Empire inherited the system of the centralized bureaucra cy, but they did not make further improvement. Then the excessive centralization not only shook the basis of Roman administration over the Mediterranean, but also actually made it difficult for the rulers to control the increasingly centralized bureaucracy. This problem together with those external factors such as Barbar ian Invasion, eventually led to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
