The Changing Chinese Model of Economic Development and the Institutional Perspectives in Economic Sociology

制度学派是美国经济社会学中最有影响的学派之一。制度学派否认经济学和理性选择理论采用的先验的、外在的理性假设,拒绝它们采用的方法论个人主义,并摈弃它们建构超越具体时空条件限制的"大理论"的追求,而主张发展中程的理论解释。经济社会学的制度学派有三个重要的研究方向:它强调理性的社会建构和认知在社会建构过程中的作用;它认为国家建设与市场建设是一个互动的、不可分割的过程,国家既是行动主体,也是结构,对经济生活有重大影响;它还重视非市场治理机制的作用。当全球化的钟摆运动出现回摆时,这三个研究方向能为我们研究中国经济发展模式正在经历的转型提供独特的视角。

Institutionalism is one of the most influential perspectives in American economic sociology .It resists the pre-given, exogenous assumption of rationality adopted by economics and the rational choice theory , rejects their methodological individualism, and abolishes their pursuit of “ grand theorizing”, advocating the development of the middlerange

theories.Institutionalism in economic sociology has three important research directions:it emphasizes the social construction of rationality , stressing the role of cognition

in this process ;it regards state building and market building as a mutually interactive ,

undividable process and maintains that the state is both an actor and a structure and it affects the economic life in important ways;it also highlights the role played by non-market

governance structures .When the process of globalization reverses its course , these three

research directions can provide unique angles for us to study the changes in the Chinese model of economic development.
