福利的理念和中国社会政策的限制——一种历史制度主义的分析

Ideas of Welfare and Limits of Social Policy in China： A Historical Institutionalism Perspective

本文从历史制度主义视角出发，解释和分析了中国社会的福利理念及其社会政策实践的限制与行动逻辑。怍者提出，在延续性的政治文化和行政体制背景下，当代中国社会政策实践体现的制度基础和行动逻辑，不同于西方国家公民权实践的制度化治理，一方面是长期以来懦家文化为基础的权威政治实践中的秩序的反映；另一方面也是变化中的世界政治经济格局中政党国家重塑国家能力、提升制度合法性与增强社会凝聚力的表现。

This paper aims to explore and interpret the recent progress, limits and institutional constraints of social policy from a historical institutionalism perspective after providing a fundamental understanding on the ideas of welfare in Chinese society. Based on the oretical discussion and empirical data analysis, the author concludes that institutional foundations and practical logic of social policy in China exactly not only reflect the principle of order in authoritarian traditional Confucian culture, but also a growing significance of state-building and institutional legitimacy in the context of changing global political and economic context
