公私合作关系:程序性问责与结果性问责

Public-private partnerships:procedural over results-driven accountability

本文研究了荷兰和西班牙官员在设计、管理和调整公私合作关系合作时,在何种程度上对程序和结果责任进行权衡。这两个国家不同的行政传统(分别为法律主义和管理导向)会对此产生影响。文章显示,通过对合同文本和政策文件进行分析,以及与荷兰和西班牙89名项目成员的采访得出,荷兰行政人员遵循关系治理原则,注重结果问责,而西班牙行政人员在非临床服务中选择与合同治理框架一致的过程问责,在医院的临床服务中选择结果问责。

The article examines to what extent Dutch and Spanish officials make trade-offs between process and result accountability during the design,management and adaptation of contracts for public-private partnerships.The countries’distinct administrative traditions(legalistic versus managerial-oriented,respectively)are expected to be influential.Analysing contracts,policy documents and interviews with 89 Dutch and Spanish project members,the article shows that Dutch administrators focus on outcome accountability,following the tenets of relational governance,whereas Spanish officials opt for process accountability in line with the contractual governance framework in non-clinical services,and for result accountability for clinical services in hospitals.
