西方农田水利管理制度研究述评:激励与协调视角

Review on Western Countries' Theory of Irrigation Management Institution: From the Perspective of Incentive and Coordination

评述了西方国家农田水利管理制度研究的主要理论,包括用户自组织管理理论、公共部门管理理论、用户参与管理理论和用水协会管理理论。在此基础上,文章认为,现有的西方理论陷入了"协调问题———激励问题———再协调问题"的循环怪圈,在解释我国农田水利管理制度效率损失问题方面还存在理论上的局限性。因此,通过精细的实证研究,发展出更具解释力的理论是非常必要的。

This paper makes comments on the main theory in irrigation management institution,including users’ self-organization management theory,public management theory,participatory management theory and water users‘ association management theory.However,current theories have sunk into a cycle of ＂incentive problem-coordination problem-incentive problem＂ and they could not explain the efficiency loss of irrigation management institution.Therefore it is important to develop a new theory suitable for China.
