新型社会组织的创建与试行——从杭州市“社会复合主体”实践看政府赋权社会的可能

The Exploration of A New Type of Social Organization:An Investigation on Possibilities of Government's Empowerment of Society through the Practice of Social Composite Subject in Hangzhou

中国式"强政府弱社会"治理模式正在经历变革,在政府由"全能"向"有限"的角色转型中,如何促进社会发育是一个关键问题。而社会组织作为社会力量的集中体现与社会职能的主要承担者,其成长备受关注。近年来杭州市政府对"社会复合主体"的培育就是对创建新型社会组织的一次尝试。这一理念和实践既不同于传统的社会中心论,也不同于单纯的国家中心论,而是充分正视中国现实语境下政府与社会间关系的模糊性,并试图利用这种模糊关系中社会组织对政府的依赖性去促成主动性,从而试行一条政府与社会相互增权的道路。但同时需要指出的是,在二者的相互增权之中,原有的权力结构关系依然没有改变。

The traditional mode of governance in China is 'Strong Government vs.Weak Society',which is undergoing transformation.While Chinese government giving up totalism and making an effort to turn into limited government,the development of civil society became a key problem.As the main actors of society,social organizations have been a focus for concern.Hangzhou Government put forward Social Composite Subject,which is an attempt of a new type of social organizations.This ideal and practice approve neither society against government nor the opposite.It proceeds from actual conditions in China that the relationship of government and society is ambiguous and social organizations rely on government to some degree.The practice of Social Composite Subject tries to promote social organizations' initiative through their dependence,and finally achieve mutual empowerment between government and society.However the power structure between them doesn't change.
