随着改革开放和社会现代化的进展，社会组织的培育发展问题，已逸出社会学、管理学的研究范围，成为观察当代中国政治发展趋势的一个重要视点。从政治学的视野评述当前中国社会组织培育发展的分析指向及现有研究的得失，并指出进一步研究应当注意的变量与维度，在此基础上为研究者提供一份研究地图，无疑是一件有意义的工作。在社会组织的培育发展问题上既有的四种分析框架，即社会中心主义、国家中心主义、市场中心主义和共治性治理理论基于不同的理论资源和研究旨趣，各有其短长。这四种分析框架在中国社会组织研究中体现出递进的趋势，早期大多以前三者为主，执着于"国家—社会—市场"的结构分析，近年来的治理研究则越来越强调多元主体的过程互动与社会自主的共治取向。事实上，只有将社会组织培育发展的议题纳入中国政治社会转型的整体过程中，进行系统的、综合的分析，才能得出一个相对谨慎的结论。建立一个涵盖并平衡"政党—国家—市场—社会"的社会组织培育发展的分析框架，这个分析框架的重心在于能够确认"政党—国家—市场—社会"四者的角色、边界、有效衔接以及互动机制，是一个可以期待和值得努力的方向。

Beyond the research scope of sociology and management science, the cultivation and development of social organizations has become an important perspective to observe the political trend in today's China. It is definitively significant to review it from the aspect of politics and map the remarkable directions and variables of it. There are four analytical frameworks available now:social centralism, state centralism, market centralism and co-governance theory. The first three, which are based on the structural analysis of "state-society-market", have been widely used, while recently co-governance has become the main research method, which emphasizes the process interaction of the subjects and the orientation of social autonomy. Actually, only by incorporating the issue of social organization into the overall process of China's political and social transformation can a relatively cautious conclusion be possible with a systematic and comprehensive analysis. It is significant to establish an analytical framework that fosters and balances the four elements of state, market, society and party, and identifies their roles, boundaries, effective linkages and interactive mechanism.
