我国政策工具研究的时空演进与热点变迁——基于CiteSpace的知识图谱分析

The Temporal and Spatial Evolution and Shifts in Research Hotspots of Policy Instruments in China—A Knowledge Graph Analysis Based on CiteSpace

摘要: 本研究运用CiteSpace知识图谱软件，对2000~2025年间CNKI收录的520篇中文核心期刊文献进行量化分析，系统梳理了中国政策工具研究的时空演进、知识结构与前沿动态。研究发现：第一，研究历程呈现“萌芽奠基–领域拓展–交叉深化–本土精细”四阶段演进轨迹，与国家治理现代化进程深度耦合；第二，知识体系形成以政策文本量化分析为方法基石，并向“工具理性–价值理性”思辨、“数字转型”与“本土调试”三维拓展的立体结构；第三，“效能”关切虽已融入各研究脉络，但尚未成为统领性分析范式。未来研究应构建“工具–效能”协同分析框架，深化数字工具伦理与适应性治理，加强本土理论构建与跨学科对话，以推动该领域知识体系的持续创新。

Abstract: This study leverages CiteSpace, a knowledge graph software, to perform a quantitative analysis on 520 Chinese core journal articles indexed in CNKI spanning the period from 2000 to 2025. It systematically maps the spatiotemporal evolution, knowledge structure, and cutting-edge trends of policy tool research in China. The key findings are as follows: First, the research trajectory has undergone four distinct stages: “germination and foundational establishment,” “domain expansion,” “interdisciplinary deepening,” and “localized refinement.” This evolutionary path is deeply coupled with the advancement of national governance modernization. Second, the knowledge system is anchored in quantitative analysis of policy texts as its methodological cornerstone, expanding into a three-dimensional framework that integrates the dialectical inquiry into “instrumental rationality versus value rationality,” “digital transformation,” and “local adaptation.” Third, although “effectiveness” concerns have been embedded in various research veins, they have not yet crystallized into a dominant analytical paradigm. For future research, it is imperative to construct a synergistic analytical framework of “tool-effectiveness,” deepen investigations into the ethics of digital tools and adaptive governance, enhance the development of indigenous theories, and foster interdisciplinary dialogue—all aimed at advancing the continuous innovation of the knowledge system in this field.
