On the Budgetary Supervision of Local People's Congresses in China

加强地方人民代表大会预算监督不仅有助于深化预算改革,而且有助于进一步完善人民代表大会制度和社会主义民主。人大预算监督包括信息、对话与强制三个维度。基于这三个维度的全国范围的问卷调查发现,随着预算改革的推进,人大预算监督已经开始从原来的程序性监督迈向实质性监督,但是地方人大的预算监督仍然面临许多挑战。在未来的改革中,需要进一步加强人大预算监督,促使政府更好地对人民负责。

Strengthening the budgetary supervision of local People's Congresses is essential not merely to the deepening of budgetary reform but also to the improvement of the People's Congress system and socialist democracy.Budgetary supervision of People's Congresses comprises three elements:information,dialogue and enforcement.A national survey based on these three elements shows that with the deepening of budgetary reform,budgetary supervision of People's Congresses has undergone a shift from procedural to substantive oversight.Nevertheless,budgetary supervision of People's Congresses still faces a number of challenges.In the forthcoming reforms,the budgetary supervision of People's Congresses should be tightened to make local governments more accountable to the people.
