论大型城市在政府间关系中的政治平衡作用

On the Political Balance Effect of the Big Cities among the Intergovernmental Relations

政府间关系的政治平衡是一个国家政治体系平稳运行的内在要求。市场化的纵深推进和原有"职责同构"的政府管理体制的逐步消融,打破了政府间纵向关系平衡的支撑性结构。特别是城市化进程的加快,迅速崛起的大型城市开始寻求经济发展与政治地位的同步推进。如何将中央、省级和大型城市等三个行为体之间的两种博弈合二为一,通过突出大型城市的发展,增强相互之间的依赖,成为重构政府间关系平衡的崭新思路。改革旧的行政区划,增设直辖市,增加大都市设置,建设不同类型的中心城市等等,不仅将有效地突出大型城市政治平衡作用,而且也将成为中国政府发展新的生长点。

It is necessary to keep the political balance of the intergovernmental relations which could keep the political system running smoothly. At present, the market economy reform has been carried forward, and the original ＂isomorphic responsibility＂ governmental system has been disintegrated progressively, which have broken the old supporting structure of the intergovernmental relations＇ balance. Especially, with the accelerating of the urbanization, big cities rising rapidly have begun to explore ways of promoting the economical development and the higher political status. In order to transform two kinds of game among the Central Government, the provincial government and the big city into one game, it is necessary to enhance big cities＇ development and strengthening their interdependence to restructure the balance of the intergovernmental relations. Some reform measures, including the reform of old administrative divisions, adding municipalities directly under the Central Government, setting up more metropolises and building different kinds of key cities, not only would enhance the big cities＇ political balance effect, but also would be the growth points in the governmental development of China.
