特纳产业大学计划议程设定的社会基础研究——基于议程设定的外部推动模式

On the Social Foundation of Agenda Building of Turner's Plan for an Industrial University:From the External Initiative Model of Agenda Setting

基于议程设定的外部推动模式可知,特纳提出的产业大学计划只有在得到社会组织的支持下才有可能列入政府的议事日程,而事实再次印证了该理论。特纳早期曾在多个场合公开宣扬产业大学计划,但始终没能得到政府的关注。然而,当布尔学会等产业组织开始讨论与推广产业大学计划后,《奥瓦自由贸易商周刊》等新闻媒体才开始进行广泛报道。在产业组织与新闻媒体的共同推动下,伊利诺伊各社会团体与地方政府机关逐渐意识到产业大学计划的重要性,并开始请求联邦国会为各州建立产业大学。至19世纪50年代中期,产业大学计划的社会基础已经在伊利诺伊牢固地建立起来,而能否转化为联邦政府产业大学政策将取决于其支持者的政治资源和政治技巧。

Based on the Agenda Setting External Initiative Theory,it can be seen that Turner 's Plan for an Industrial University is only possible to be included in the agenda of the state legislature and the Congress with the support of social organizations,and the fact confirms the theory again. Turner publicized the Plan for an Industrial University in a number of occasions early,but never got the interests of any government. However,when Buel Society and other industrial organizations began to discuss and promote the Plan for an Industrial University,Ottawa Free Traders and other news media began to widely report it. With the help of industry organizations and the news media,Illinois social groups and local government agencies gradually realized the importance of the Plan for an Industrial University,and began to request the Federal Congress to establish industrial universities for all the states. By the mid-1850s,the social foundation of the Plan for an Industrial University had been firmly established in Illinois,and the ability to establish the policy of federal government industrial university would depend on the political resources and skills of its supporters.
