城市经济管理部门机构改革设想

Proposals for Structural Reform in Urban Economic Administration

通过对丹东、安阳、衡阳、厦门、常州等十余个城市及江苏、宁夏两省的调查,作者指出:党政不分、政企不分仍是现行城市经管部门的主要弊端,这使企业成为政府机关的附属物,企业横向经济联合受到阻碍。为了发挥城市政府经管部门在区域经济中的积极作用,它应由综合经管、经济监督、经济调节与决策咨询四类机构组成。由于政企分开的微观基础尚未成熟、市场环境尚未形成,使城市经管部门处于两难处境。这决定了城市经管部门改革只能是一个逐步推进和完善的过程。

The co-authors of this article, basing on their own investigations in more than10 cities including Dandong (Liaoning), Anyang (Henan), Hengyang (Hunan),Xiamen (Amoy, Fujian) and Changzhou (Jiangsu) as well as the provinces Jiangsuand Ningxia, point out that failure to differentiate the function of the CommunistParty organizations from that of the government bodies and the power of the latterfrom that of the enterprises remain as the major shortcomings in urban economic ad-ministration, reducing the enterprise to an appendage to a government body and ha- mpering the horizontal association among the enterprises. They proceed to emphas-ize that, in order that urban government bodies encharged with economy may playtheir positive roles, there should be formed a system consisting of the institutionsfor synthetical adminstration, economic supervision, economic regulation and consul-tation respectively. The present condition is marked by tbe dilemma confrontingthe urban economic administrations, a dilemma rising from the absence of micropsopicbasis for the separation of the enterprises from goveroment bodies and the absenceof favourable market environment. Thus, the reform in such administrations couldonly be a gradua1 process.
