略论新社会风险及其与传统风险的区别

当代社会、经济和科技产生了许多新发展，而现代社会的这些进步也同时带来许多风险与危机。随着主要资本主义国家从工业社会逐步进入后工业社会，“新社会风险”作为社会政策领域的一个新视角逐渐兴起。新社会风险视角不仅给社会政策理论带来了新的转变，而且对各国的福利改革也产生了深远的影响。各工业国家都开始强调在知识经济和后工业社会的背景下，应该重新审视福利保障制度原则，加强社会包容，建立一个以应对“新社会风险”为主的福利国家。基于此，研究新社会风险的概念内涵及其与传统风险的区别，不仅有利于我们更好地把握西方发达国家福利改革的新动向，而且对正处于转型时期的中国来说，也将为我们的社会保障制度改革提供诸多借鉴。
