摘要:美国进步时代发生了剧烈的政策变迁，其时代背景与当代中国所处环境极为相似。当时美国的社会政策形成与发展，尤其是劳工政策发生了巨大变迁，劳工组织在其中发挥着不可替代性的作用却不能长久地维持其改革成果。

　　　本文作者借用Wilson的政策建制理论，以当时的劳工政策和劳工组织为个案，试图从组织安排、权力关系和政策范式三个角度对当时的一些重要史实进行另一番解读;通过对比分析等方法的综合运用，本文展示和分析了美国劳动组织的生存和发展与美国公共政策之间以及与政府之间的联系, 前者在与政府的相互博弈中促使或限制了美国政策的形成和变迁。本文将对以上几点加以分析，通过对其进行借鉴进而预测它们在中国现代政策发展中的实际意义与价值，从而试图为劳动组织寻找一条在中国生存发展的有效道路。
