Social Science Research on Chinese Organizations in the English literature

本文介绍讨论英文文献中社会科学诸领域有关中国组织现象的研究,关注其中活跃的研究主题和活动、重要的理论观点和因果机制,以及不同学科之间的竞争和对比。我们按照社会学、政治学和经济学等学科领域来组织本文的述评,但我们强调这些学术研究领域之间的关联、延伸和交融,特别将这些研究工作与组织学的分析概念和思路加以对比,强调它们之间互相促进的关系。我们的述评一方面肯定这一领域引人注目的进步,另一方面也特别提出批评性意见,指出这一领域中尚未解决的问题和学术上的种种不足,以期未来的研究加以弥补克服,从而进一步提高这一领域的研究水平。 

In this article, we survey social science research on Chinese organizations in the English literature. The purpose of this survey is to identify major research themes and activities on Chinese organizations, the theoretical arguments and the causal mechanisms identified in social science disciplines. We organize our survey by the disciplinary fields ) sociology, political science, and economics, but we aim to contrast studies across these academic fields to highlight intellectual connections, bifurcations, or departures. We emphasize the potential, mutual benefit between social science research on organizations and organizational analysis developed in the field of organization research. While recognizing the impressive contribution of this literature, we also intend this survey to be critical in the sense that we are especially biased toward emphasizing the unsolved problems in this area, identifying intellectual gaps and the lack of communication among these research camps, with the hope that future efforts can overcome these barriers.
