中国社会科学生产方式:来自教育财政领域的观察

Production Mode of Social Sciences in China:Observations from the Field of Education Finance

本文首先提出了我国社会科学生产方式的体制学和动力学分析的概念,在此基础上提出一个“四性混合”即涵盖政治性功能、行政性治理、学术性策略和技术性条件的分析框架,继而应用此框架分析了历史上发生的3个真实研究事件——也即“4%政策目标”提出背后的研究事件、与“4%政策目标”相关的公共教育支出统计可比性研究和一个关于公共教育支出占GDP比例的国际文献综述研究——以阐明我国教育财政研究的知识生产过程的影响因素。本文最后讨论了关于中国教育财政研究的自主知识体系构建和研究范式问题的初步思考。

This paper first proposes the concept of institutional and dynamic analysis of the production mode of social sciences in China,and on this basis proposes a“four-dimension hybrid”analytical framework that covers political functions,administrative governance,academic strategies,and technical conditions.This framework is then used to analyze three real research events that took place in history—namely,the research event behind the“four percent of GDP”policy,which is the most important educational finance research event in recent history of China,the statistical comparability study of public education expenditures,and an international literature review study re-lated to the“four percent of GDP”policy—to elaborate on the above influencing factors.Finally,some preliminary thoughts are discussed on the construction of an independent knowledge system and research paradigm issues in China’s education finance research.
