智库研究的双螺旋结构

Double Helix Structure of Think Tank Research

推动中国特色新型智库高质量发展、更好地服务国家治理体系和治理能力现代化建设,迫切需要深入探索智库研究规律乃至研究范式,不断创新发展智库研究方法。为此,文章基于对智库研究基本逻辑体系和方法论的系统研究,着眼于解决智库研究"怎么做"这一基本问题,提出问题导向、证据导向和科学导向下的智库研究的双螺旋结构,该双螺旋均始于研究问题,终于解决方案,形成外循环和内循环的整体体系。首先,从整体角度分析智库研究的双螺旋结构的外循环,即智库研究的"解析-融合-还原"过程。其次,从研究环节和研究逻辑角度对智库研究的双螺旋结构的内循环进行阐述,即基于DIIS的过程融合法和基于MIPS的逻辑层次法,并对智库研究双螺旋结构的时空域和内部耦合关系进行分析。最后,思考和阐释该理论对智库研究和智库建设的重要意义和价值。

As the role of think tanks in the process of advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity become increasingly prominent,the exploration on the paradigm,theories,and methodologies of think tank research become an important issue.This study raised the double helix structure of think tank research,which is a framework not only to conceptualize think tank research,but also provide practical guidance in conducting think tank research.The outer circulation of the double helix structure conceptualized the research process into question decomposing,interdisciplinary research,and regression to the true question.The inner circulation of the double helix structure is constituted of process convergence method(Data-Information-Intelligence-Solution,DIIS)and logics layer method(Mechanism-Impact-Policy-Solution,MIPS),which target separately at research process and research logics.The internal coupling relationship and the time-space domain are further analyzed.Finally,the theoretical value of the double helix structure of think tank research is raised,which could be considered as a new paradigm in conceptualizing and conducting think tank research.
