预算过程的政治:使权力运转起来

The Politics of Budgetary Prosses

如果不理解预算政治,任何对正式预算过程的说明都是不完整与误导性的。但是,何谓预算政治或预算过程的政治?对于这个问题,开启了公共预算之政治学研究视角先河的美国公共预算专家瓦尔达沃夫斯基并没有给出明确的解答。对预算过程的解释有必要回归到"权力"这一历久弥新的路径上来。只有这样,我们才能理解预算过程是如何建构起来的。

Any account of the formal budget process would be incomplete and misleading without an understanding of budgetary politics.But what is budgetary politics？ We can not find a clear answer from the research of Wildavsky who opened a new perspective of public budget from politics.To understand the politics of budgetary process,we should return to the interpretation path on power.
