“第三条道路”社会福利思想主张的发展

Development of Social Welfare Thoughts of"The Third Way"

“第三条道路”出现于20世纪初的英国,发展于20世纪中期的德国,兴盛于20世纪末的英国,并扩展到大部分的西方国家。尽管西方各国的“第三条道路”理论与实践存在国别特色,但是它们都持有如下基本主张:放弃传统单一的极端保守性或激进性政策选择;实行介于两者之间的调和性政策选择;强调有限的国家干预与有限的市场调节相结合,社会福利中国家责任、社会责任与个人责任的平衡,以及社会福利水平与经济发展水平的协调等。“第三条道路”社会福利思想对大部分西方国家社会福利制度改革乃至全球社会福利制度改革产生重要的影响。

"The Third Way"thoughts appeared in the early 20th century of the United Kingdom,developed in Germany in the middle of the 20th century,flourished in the late 20th century of the United Kingdom,and affected most of the western countries.Although there are country-specific characteristics of the"Third Way"theory and practice in western countries,it advocates abandoning the traditional single extreme conservative or radical policy choice,carrying out the harmonious policy choice between the two choices,and emphasizing the combination of limited state intervention and limited market regulation,the balance among state responsibility,social responsibility and individual responsibility in social welfare,and the coordination of social welfare level and economic development level.Social welfare thoughts of"The Third Way"have an important influence on the reform of social welfare system in most western countries and even the global social welfare system.
