全球化背景下的公共行政研究取向

The Orientation of Public Administration Research in Globalized Era

我们正处在全球化、后工业化进程中,社会治理的变革已经成为我们必须通过积极行动去加以解决的问题。其中,公共行政研究担负着这样的使命。对于所有国家的公共行政者而言,在这样一个变革的时代,都面临着维护近代以来所建构起来的科学话语还是开拓创新的选择。我们认为,正确的选择应当是超越工业社会的思维模式,致力于解决全球化、后工业化呈现出来的全新的社会治理问题。在我国当前的公共行政研究中,则纠结于学习、本土化和创新这三个问题上。我们认为,中国公共行政研究起步较晚,学习的任务尚未完成,所以,学习是必要的,而且我们也有着开放的学习态度。但仅仅学习是不够的,还需要致力于本土问题的观察和思考,以便提出解决本土问题的正确方案。但是,对于本土化的问题,不能作出简单化的理解,而是需要在对全球化背景下的人类共同问题的解决中去实现本土化。全球化背景下的本土化所包含的核心内涵是中国公共行政研究者对世界的贡献。

Under the on--going process of globalization and post--industrialization, the revolution of social governance is a problem resorting to active action and the research of public administration just carries such a mission. Under the changing time, researchers from every country are facing such a choice, to maintain the scientific language of public administration originated since modern time or to commit to innovation. We argue that the correct choice is that we should go beyond the traditional thinking model and focus on new problems coming along with globalization and post--industrialization. In China, the current research of public administration entrapped in three questions, learning, localization, and innovation. Since the research of public administration has started contemporarily, the mission of learning has not finished yet. Therefore we argue that being open and commit to learning are necessary. But learning is not enough. We should also emphasize on solving local problems. However, localization is not easy. It requires researchers to localize the common problems which we mankind are facing in a globalized era. Essentially, localization in a globalized era is an important contribution to the world.
