摘 要: 公共行政领域不仅需要严谨、科学的经验研究,也需要富于批判性与建设性的规范研究。当前的中国公共行政学总体上缺乏有质量的规范研究。一方面,我们对规范研究的质量标准缺乏应有的学术判断;另一方面,现有的规范研究太过沉迷于空泛的体系建构,缺乏针对中国行政实践的原创性理论。同时,这些所谓的规范研究也因缺乏反思与批判的精神而丧失了公共性,从而无力承担起指引公共行政实践的使命。规范研究的缺失,使得中国公共行政学在理论上和应用上都处于一种合法性危机之中。要消除这种危机,我们迫切需要在中国的公共行政研究中重新审视和确立规范研究路径。论文通过回顾规范研究的历史演进,阐明了规范研究的基本特征、质量标准及其对于公共行政学的重要意义,并在此基础上检视了我国目前规范研究的得失。 The field of Public Administration needs not only precise and scientific empirical research but also critical and constructive normative research.Overall,literature on public administration in China lacks normative studies of high quality.On the one hand,we do not have the indispensable academic judgment about the standard of normative research;on the other,the current normative research is so obsessed with barren system construction,which neglects the task of building seminal theory pertinent to public administration.Without being reflexive and critical,these so-called normative researches are in danger of missing their publicness.Therefore they are incapable of taking over the task to guide research practice of public administration.Moreover,lacking of normative research also results in a legitimacy crisis of public administration research in China in both theoretical and pratical terms.To tackle and uplift the discipline from this crisis,we need to re-examine and establish normative research path in Chinese public administration research.This article reviews the history and development of normative research,explores the basic elements,standards of normative research as well as its significances for public administration,and analyzes the gain and loss of normative research in China.
