An Interdependent Triangle in Social Policy Processes: The case of the villagers' self-governance policy

社会政策过程,可解释为以政策制定者一政策执行者一政策目标群体这个互依三角为核心的社会心理过程。论文以村民自治为例,基于在浙江温州农村的三次实地研究,尝试揭示这三类行动者互依的行为偏好和行动策略。研究发现在他们积极互依或消极互依过程中,村民的公民意识得以萌生;但基层民主困境也在此过程中逐渐凸显。本研究还期望为政策社会心理学的成长提供洞识。

The social policy process, to a certain extent, is a social psychological process of interdependence among the policy maker, the policy implementer and the target population. Taking the villagers' self-governance policy as an example, this paper tries to reveal the behavioral preferences and action strategies of these three interdependent parties by using interview data collected from five villages in Wenzhou area. The authors find that villagers' citizenship awareness has emerged out of the interdependent processes of the three parties, no matter whether their interdependence is positive or negative. The authors also illustrate the predicament of grassroots democracy in this process. The triangle model of interdependence proposed by this paper contributes a social psychological perspective to studying public policies.
