新世纪以来中国经济社会学的成就与挑战

Chinese Economic Sociology's Achievements and Challenges in the New Century

中国的经济社会学迄今经历了两个15年的发展阶段。新世纪以来的中国经济社会学在学科的制度化发展上获得实质性突破,尤其在学术研究上取得了更大成就。一方面,对国外理论进行了反思性借鉴,学者们对于理性选择、嵌入性和社会资本等重要理论进行了充分的探讨,对经济社会学中一些古典议题和方法论也进行了再研究;另一方面,经验研究的主题大为拓展,问题意识和规范意识有了显著提高,在市场与公司、政府与市场/产业关系、产权与经济组织治理等主要议题的研究中取得了丰富的成果。中国经济社会学在进步的同时也潜藏着深刻的学科地位危机和严峻挑战,具体表现为:面向时代提出大问题、回答重大现实问题的能力欠缺;对业已深刻影响了当代中国社会各领域的若干重要经济制度、经济现象和经济群体研究不够;在研究路径上结构分析和实证主义居于主流,缺乏综合视野特别是文化、意义视角的关照,且较少关注经济影响和建构社会的反向过程。

As an important part of the discipline of sociology, Chinese Economic Sociology （CES） has gone through two 15-years＇ developments. CES obtains substantive breakthrough in the institutionalization of the discipline with greater achievements in academic research in the later 15-years. This paper makes a review of selected research of CES, as covered topics include theory of economic sociology, market and corporation, relation between government and market/industry, property rights, governance of economic organizations and oversea CES. This paper also points out that CES has been confronted with serious crisis, with challenges from in and out of the discipline itself. Some suggestion for improvement has been put forward in the end of the paper.
