社会资本建设与国家治理现代化

Social Capital Construction and National Governance Modernization

20世纪80年代末,为了回应由于经济全球化和信息社会的来临而引发的公共管理危机,治理理念及其衍生出来的应对方案在全世界范围内被广泛传播和接受。中国与其他国家一样,面临着社会转型所带来的各种矛盾与风险,只有不断推进国家治理现代化,建立起国家与社会对公共事务的合作管理才能应对挑战。社会资本作为一种有效的社会合作机制由此进入了国家治理的研究视域。在我国,建设社会资本,推进国家治理现代化必须从两个维度同时进行:制度建设与公共精神培育,二者相互作用,有助于在全社会产生"自愿合作"的稳定均衡。

At the end of the 1980s, in response to economic globalization and the crisis faced by public management due to the coming of information society, the concept of governance and solutions developed from this concept are widely spread and accepted worldwide. China, like other countries, has been faced with vari- ous contradictions and risks caused by social transformations, whose solutions depend on the promotion of modernization of national governance and the establishment of state-society cooperative management of pub- lic affairs. Social capital, as a kind of effective cooperation mechanism, has entered the research horizon of national governance. In China, the construction of social capital and the promotion of the modernization of national governance should be carried out at the same time and in two dimensions： the construction of the system and the development of public spirit, whose interaction helps produce stable equilibrium of ＂voluntary cooperation＂ in the whole society.
