论民间组织的三维社会空间:实体、社会心理和虚拟网络

On Three Dimensions of Social Space of Civil Organizations

民间组织的社会空间存在实体、社会心理和虚拟网络三个维度。文章认为,在政府主导的强国家、弱社会传统体制迈向主要由国家、市场、社会构成的多元现代社会管理体制的过程中,往往是显性的民间社会组织的实体和制度空间受到关注,而对社会心理空间和虚拟网络空间及二者与实体制度空间的整合与平衡没有给予足够的重视,从而使得国家面临在自上而下层层传导中执行力下降、政策效能降低,体制认同递次减弱等多方压力。因此,一个良好的社会空间,需要调整国家—社会关系,实现实体制度、社会心理和虚拟网络等三个维度的对接、融合和集成。

The author states that for the analysis of the social space of civil organizations, three dimensions-namely physical institutions, social mentality and cyberspace-must be taken into consideration. During the process of transformation away from the tradiLtional regime of a strong state and weak society and toward a modem societal management regime composed of such diverse elements as state, market and society, it is usually the explicit and visible features of civil organizations such as physical and institutional space that draw the most attention, whereas it implicit and invisible features such as the space of social mentality and cyberspace and their integration and balance among all the a- bove features are overlooked. Consequently, the government faces the pressures of thwarted implementation, reduced policy effectiveness and deteriorating system identity through the traditional top-down hierarchy. The paper concludes that in order to have a sound social space, it is necessary to adopt a new perspective toward the state-society relationship so as to include and integrate the three dimensions of physical institutions, social mentality and cyberspace.
