本文的主要目的是探讨道格拉斯·诺斯近期作品的历史演化特征。近来他的观点已经受到了批评,尤其是就其在历史方面的见解以及他所使用的一些概念和思想的本质而言。批评者们主要用三个互相联系的论据支撑他们的论点,这涉及到诺斯的新古典根基,他的个人主义起点以及他的普适主义的解释倾向,这些观点将在第一部分进行介绍。第二部分,将介绍一下对这些观点的一个回应。最后,我们将对诺斯近期作品的演化特征加以探讨和证实。本文认为,通过将“文化”引入到制度变迁分析的核心,诺斯走上了背景依赖(Context Dependent)分析以及历史具体分析(Histori- cally Specific Explanations)的道路。
The main purpose of this paper is to explore the historical evolution of Douglas North’s recent work. His views have recently been criticized, especially in the light of his historical perspective and the nature of some of the concepts and ideas he uses. Critics mainly support their arguments with three interrelated arguments, which relate to North’s neoclassical foundation, his starting point for individualism, and his universalist tendency to explain, which are described in the first section. In the second part, we will introduce a response to these ideas. Finally, we will explore and confirm the evolving features of recent work by North. This paper argues that North embarks on the path of Context-dependent analysis and Histori-cally Specific Explanations by introducing “culture” into the core of institutional change analysis.
