民国时期专员区公署制的设置与缩小省区关系的讨论

A Review on the Relationship between the Administrative Supervisory Commissioner System and Contracting Province Size

近代中国的濒危、民族沉沦成为时人关注的重要问题,尤其是民国初年军阀混战、统治腐败更成为时人痛恨的对象。南京国民政府施行的行政督察专员区公署制似乎为这一时弊开出了药方,此时期人们围绕区公署设置和缩小省区关系进行过具体讨论。这一讨论不仅涉及缩小省区原因,而且涉及行政督察专员区公署制与缩小省区相互关系。虽然观点不一、未找到解决问题的实际路径,但客观上却有利于这一问题的澄清,且为此后中国政区划分与治理提供重要的舆论借鉴。

The crisis of modern China and the survival of Chinese nationality were an important concern in modern China, especially the constant fighting among warlords and government corruption becomes the object that people in the early years of the Republic of China. The Nanjing centrral government im- plemented the Administrative Supervisory Commissioner System which appeared to a prescription for the social problems. People held discussions on the setup of commissioner office and the decrease of province size. This discussion not only covered the reason to reduce province area, but also covered the relation between the Administrative Supervisory Commissioner System and contracting province area. Although the discussion did not solve the problem, it helped clarify the problem, which provided an important ref- erence to division and governance of administrative regions.
