| 摘 要： | All the conceptualizations regarding to societies inevitably have been determined, or at least motivated by ideological processes, through the apparatus professionalized on the ideological reproduction of the social structure （Althusser）. The core question of this paper is scrutinizing the particular ideological contexts under which the ＂social transformation＂ concept has grown. The critical conceptual archeology on social transformation will seaway to a discussion of two other related concepts： development and globalization. It is still ambiguous whether social transformation discussions will take the ex-position of the developmental approach, or instead be a critical alternative to the neo-liberal ideas in social sciences of the 21 st century. If the concept is taken literally, we can possibly never see a society which does not experience a ＂transformation＂ in ＂social＂ terms at all. Societies have always been transformed through social processes. However, as an independent concept it appeared in a particular contextual basis. This same multi-dimensional context was the driving force behind UNESCO＇s organization of the MOST （Management of Social Transformations） Program. This paper can be considered a theoretical framework focusing on social transformation as defined through the examination of its principal ideologies and the study of the concept＇s reproduction through international institutions.
