最近 1 0年 ,“社会整合”这个概念通过一系列国际学术会议和高峰会议的召开而逐渐形成。本文意在回顾这一概念的形成过程。过去 ,人们常常从福利主义角度来看待社会整合 ,强调要帮助弱势群体 ,使他们能够更好地与“正常”社会融合在一起。而最近 1 0年 ,人们对这个概念加以重新定义 ,把社会的体质和构成社会的所有群体的关系摆到了突出位置 :也就是说 ,这个概念的重心由原来只突出个别群体 ,转变为更全面地认识形成弱势群体的各种社会力量。概念重心的转移对于社会政策研究的意义是不言而喻的。另外 ,本文还对联合国经济社会事务部 (UNDESA)社会政策与发展司社会整合处的主要活动进行了总结。社会整合处隶属联合国秘书处 ,主要负责与特定社会群体状况相关的政策和活动 ,这些群体包括青年、老人、残疾人和陷于冲突的家庭和个人。
In the recent decade, the concept of “social integration” has taken shape through a series of international academic conferences and summits. This article is intended to review the formation of this concept. In the past, social integration was often viewed from a welfareist perspective, emphasizing the need to help disadvantaged groups better integrate with “normal” societies. In the recent decade, however, the concept has been redefined to give prominence to the relationship between the physique of society and all the groups that make up society: that is, the focus of this concept has shifted from a focus on individual groups to more comprehensive Recognize the various social forces that form the disadvantaged groups. It is self-evident that the transfer of conceptual center of gravity to the study of social policy. In addition, the article also summarizes the major activities of the Social Integration Unit of the Division for Social Policy and Development of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA). The Social Integration Unit is part of the United Nations Secretariat and is primarily responsible for policies and activities related to the situation of particular groups of people, including youth, the elderly, the disabled and those in conflict.
