Systematization of Institutional Political Economy

在制度的政治经济学基础领域，我们努力吸收社会学、心理学、系统论和意识形态分析的最新趋势。我们得出的立场是，在由规范、话语和知识构成的空间中，多个主体的再现理论。“理性”的恰当概念不是“有限理性”，而是“情境理性”。社会和经济交换理论发展和扩展了一个双重结构的承认框架--规范的合法化承认和同情的利益承认。在此基础上，提出了一种由积累机制、规范和话语构成的社会空间理论，作为市民社会内部制度形成的基础。因为“新制度经济学”以及“比较制度分析”在以个人为基本分析单位方面似乎还比较薄弱。尽管我们不得不说我们还在路上，但我们将这一观点应用于多层次调整、生产率提高和创新过程、企业作为制度纽带、货币秩序等方面的分析，并进一步尝试将制度分析扩展到国家及其政策的各个方面。首先，分析了社会保障政策和就业政策，以及“社会纽带”或“平等主义”等特殊规范。其次，将典型心态的再现和冲突纳入政策改革(放松管制)的分析。第三，运用制度分析的方法分析中国的发展状况和产业政策的形成与实施。

In the field of the foundation of the political economy of institutions, we endeavored to absorb the recent trend in sociology, psychology, system theory, and ideology analysis. The position we arrived was the theory of the reproduction of multiple subjects within the space structured by norms, discourse, and knowledge. The appropriate concept of "rationality" is not the "bounded rationality" but the "situated rationality." A dual-structured frame of recognition - normative recognition of legitimization and sympathetic recognition of interest - was developed and extended by the social and economic exchange theory. Further, a theory of the social space that is structured by the accumulation regime as well as norm and discourse was proposed as the base for the formation of institutions within civil society.Our research aimed at the formulation of the "micro-macro loop" in political economy. Because the "new institutional economy" as well as the "comparative institutional analysis" seemed to be still weak in their reduction to individuals as basic unit of analysis. Though we have to say that we are still on the way, we applied this viewpoint in the analysis of multi-stratified adjustment, the process of productivity increase and innovation, firm as the nexus of institutions, monetary order and so on.We further tried to extend the institutional analysis to the various aspect of the state and its policy. First, the social security policy as well as employment policy was analyzed together with the peculiar norm such as "social tie" or "egalitarianism." Second, the reproduction and conflict of the typical mentalities were included into the analysis of the policy reform (deregulation). Third, institutional approach was applied to the analysis of the development state and to the formation/implementation of industrial policies of China.
