Summary, etc Drastic economic and social transition, emerging social problems, and emphasis of the Chinese government on social harmony as a national policy have created ample opportunities for the development of social work as a profession in the Chinese mainland1 in recent years. Besides the phenomenal expansion of social work education, the Chinese government announced a series of national policy initiatives in 2006 to professionalize social work and to assess the professional standard of social welfare personnel. But these achievements would never be possible without the commitment, perseverance and active engagement of the social work community during the past two decades to foster the development of social work in China. In this paper, the authors will present the four stages of development which the social work profession has undergone in China, and will discuss the role of human agency in facilitating institutional transformation and structural change in the process. The active agency of members of the social work community, including educators, Civil Affairs officials, and front‐line practitioners to resist the domination of environmental constraints and to co‐construct a social work profession which is appropriate to the Chinese context will be presented.
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc 近年來, 急劇的經濟及社會轉型、日益湧現的社會問題及中國政府將建立和諧社會作為國策, 使社會工作在中國成為一個專業獲得了空前的機遇。 除了社會工作教育的驚人發展外, 中國政府於2006年宣布一系列創新的國家政策, 推動社會工作專業化以及對社會福利服務人員的職業水平進行專業評估。 然而, 如果沒有社會工作社群在過去二十多年來的支持、堅持不懈及積極的參與, 努力地在中國發展社會工作, 這些成就將永遠不可能實現。 在本文中, 作者將描述社會工作專業在中國的四個發展階段, 以及討論能動性在推動制度轉型和結構變遷方面扮演的角色。 作者討論了社會工作社群的不同成員的積極的能動性, 包括教育工作者, 民政部官員及一線工作者, 如何應對環境制約的支配影響及建構一個適合華人社會為背景的社會工作專業。
