摘　　要：近30年的公共行政领域见证了围绕官僚制政府变革展开的长期争论。尽管立场不同,但官僚制的反对者和倡导者都认同一个事实,即由马克斯·韦伯提出的一套行政规范原则标志着旧的政府治理范式。本文的目的是试图通过重新考察韦伯理想类型分析的理路来挑战上述关于官僚制的范式性解读。本文认为,当代的官僚制范式观不仅完全误解了韦伯针对官僚制的概念设计,而且与韦伯创立的理想类型研究方法相比,这一范式思维倾向于阻碍针对官僚制度演变进行的历史与比较分析。因此,继承韦伯官僚制的理论方案对公共行政学的反思与研究主题的设定仍然具有积极意义。The field of public administration has witnessed three--decade debates around bureaucratic government reforms. Both the opponents and exponents of bureaucracy agree that there has been an old paradigm of government represented by the Weberian normative principles. In contrast, this paper aims to challenge such a prevailing paradigmatic interpreta- tion of bureaucracy through reexamining the rationale of Weber^s ideal--type analysis. It is argued that contemporary paradigmatic view of bureaucracy is based on a misreading of his theoretical design of the concept. Moreover, com- pared with the ideal-type approach, this paradigmatic thinking tends to undermine the analytical rigor of historical and comparative studies on bureaucratic development. Therefore, it is critical to adhere to the Weberian approach to bureaucracy for self-reflection as well as agenda setting for public administration research.
