Abstract: Social policies play an important role in maintaining social stability and improving people’s well-being. According to the important historical nodes, China’s social policy can be divided into three stages: gradual development, gradual transformation and gradual integration, each of which is characterized by singularity, alternation and integration. Based on the historical institutionalism method, this research analyzes the reasons for the above characteristics of China’s social policy. It is found that the self-locking effect, the external effect and the coordination effect in the welfare provision system drive the changes of China’s social policy system respectively. The above changes are jointly influenced by interest selection, transformation of efficiency and fairness, and the internal and external institutional environment of the social policy system.

Key words: social policy, historical institutionalism, welfare supply
