新制度主义政治学的交流基础与对话空间

On Foundation of Communication and Dialogue in New Institutional Politics

新制度主义的复数性质产生出了新制度主义各变体之间的交流和对话问题。在规范层面上,新制度主义者们对其内部的三种分析途径的交流和对话潜力是否存在有着不同的理解。在实证层面上,新制度主义的三种分析途径之间的交叠现象已经广泛地存在。这种现象模糊了原有的分类标准,要求新制度主义必须重新思考新的交流基础和对话空间。要实现这一新的目标,新制度主义必须设置一项新的研究议程,将被他们所忽视的比较制度学派纳入自己的对话空间之中,以构建出更具解释力和适应性的新制度主义。

Up till now new institutionalism is at a developmental stage where varieties with similarities and differences give rise to the issue of communication and dialogue among themselves. For one thing, new institutionalists do not agree on the possibility of potential communication and dialogue among the three approaches to analysis. For another, there is extensive evidence to show overlapping among the three. The empirical overlapping makes the original criteria for classification implicit. Therefore, it is necessary that a new mode of communication and dialogue be established. In order to achieve this end, the author holds, a new research agenda should be set up to include the sofar neglected school of thoughts into the dialogue in order to turn new institutionalism to be more capable of interpretation with higher adaptability.
