近十几年来，西方第三代政策网络研究引入社会网络分析后，在研究方法上融合或缓解了“结构与行动”、“定性与定量”、“描述、解释与规范”、“多学科整合”等传统社会科学上的分歧和难题；在理论研究上与新制度主义理性选择理论、社会资本理论、治理理论和游戏生态学理论等社会理论的结合上也显示出很好的包容性。同时，基于政策网络的形成条件，第三代政策网络研究也能包容中国的公共政策经验。但是由于社会结构和政策现象复杂性的差异，中国政策网络研究面临着不同于西方国家的优势和劣势。以此为基础的探讨，对于中国政策网络研究就具有重要的理论意义。

Over the past decade, the third generation policy network research in western countries has absorbed the theory and method of social network analysis. In terms of method, it tries to integrate ( or overcome) the divergences and problems caused by the tension between “structure and agency”;“qualitative and quantitative”;“description, explanation and normalization”;and“mono-disciplinary and multidisciplinary” in traditional social science. In terms of theory, it is highly inclusive in integra-ting among others new institutionalism theory, social capital theory, governance theory and game ecol-ogy theory. Considering the formation of policy network, the third generation research on policy net-work is also applicable to Chinese public policy practice. Because of the difference in social structure and complexity of public policy, Chinese policy network research has its own advantages and disadvan-tages. Taking all this into consideration, this paper attempts to explore the theoretical potential for the research on Chinese policy network.
