政治经济学的复兴——西方“新政治经济学”的兴起、主题与意义

Revival of Political Economics

政治经济学在近代西方曾是社会知识的总汇 ,近现代西方社会科学学科的分化特别是政治学与经济学的分离导致了传统政治经济学的衰落。 2 0世纪 60年代以来 ,西方社会科学发展的整体化趋势 ,促使政治经济学的复兴 ,出现了政治学与经济学整合研究的“新政治经济学”。“新政治经济学”既不同于主流经济学又不同于传统的政治学 ,它是这两门学科的有机融合 ;它关注政治与经济的相互作用 ,拓展了政治学和经济学的分析范围 ,是对主流经济学和政治学理论的有益补充 ,对这两门学科的研究都具有一定的创新和方法论意义。

Political economics was an aggregation of social sciences in the western world of modern times, but the differentiation of western social sciences, especially the separation of politics and economics, led to the decline of the traditional political economics. Since the 1960s, the integration of western social sciences accelerated the revival of political economics and thus a “New Political Economics” emerged as an integrated study of politics and economics. “New Political Economics” is different from both the prevalent economics and the traditional politics. It is an organic amalgamation of them, and it pays attention to the interaction of politics and economics. At the same time, it broadens the study of politics and economics and becomes a useful supplement to them, thus offering certain innovation and methodology to the study of them.
