公司式国家:中国式发展道路的竞争主体视角解读

Firm-State: A Business Competition Perspective on the Chinese Model of Development

"公司式国家"这一概念可以从竞争主体的视角来探讨中国式发展道路(或称"中国模式")的成功原因所在。这是因为在全球化时代,国家成为全球舞台上的竞争主体。"公司式国家"指的是国家的权力结构与作为市场经济竞争主体的企业相似。中国模式的特点在于,她具有与公司相似的集权式权力结构,使得政府有着强大的执政能力,而这种集权式权力结构正是竞争主体的主要特征之一。竞争环境的全球化要求国家的角色由以前的竞争环境转变为竞争主体,而中国集权式的权力结构正好适应了全球化时代对国家角色的客观要求。此外,中国三十多年来的改革开放历程也可以用"公司式国家"这一概念来加以解释。

In this paper the concept of ＂firm-state＂ is put forth in an attempt to explain why the Chinese model of development has succeeded. ＂Firm-state＂ refers to the fact that the governance structure of a state is similar to that of a corporation, which is a competitor in a market economy. Therefore, this perspective can also be called ＂ompetitor-state＂. The essence of the Chinese model of development lies in that the Chinese state＇s centralized power structure bestows strong power on its government. A centralized power structure is a major characteristic of the competitor, which suits very well the demands of globalization on the role of the state. In addition, an attempt is made to discuss China＇s thirty-plus years of reform and opening-up from the perspective of firm-state.
