摘要
社会政策是一个被广泛运用但又缺乏公认定义的概念。本文主要从"经"和"纬"两条线来分别梳理社会政策概念的发展脉络、基本内涵及主要争议。从经向看,社会政策概念经历了缘起、社会行政和社会政策三个阶段;从纬向看,社会政策的概念可分别从学术研究和社会行动两个层面来探讨。作为社会行动的社会政策着眼于如何提升社会福祉,其中争议较大的问题是社会政策和公共政策的关系;作为学科的社会政策着眼于探讨社会政策的学科特性及其与其他学科的相互关系,其中争议较大的问题是社会政策是不是一门独立的学科。最后,本文对我国的社会政策定义进行了简要述评。
'Social policy' is a widely used concept yet with no internationally consensus meaning.This article will firstly describe sequence of ideas on social policy from its origin to social administration and later social policy.Then by reviewing literature on the definition of social policy,this article explains its meaning as social actions taken by policy-makers in the real world and as academic study by scholars and students,while focusing on two main disputing questions:whether social policy is a part of public policy and whether social policy is a discipline.Finally this article summarizes Chinese literature on definition of social policy and briefly compares with its international counterparts.
