治理理论在中国的变异与回归

Variation and Return of Governance Theory in China

治理理论是20世纪90年代兴起的一种针对政府失败和市场失灵的新的管理范式。由于忽略了治理理论产生的特殊背景和社会条件,并且把中国传统的"治理"与治理理论混为一谈,治理理论在中国发生了变异。这种变异主要表现为"治理"一词的泛化与滥用,治理"公共性"的异化以及对治理结构的误读。要准确把握治理理论的精髓,一是要回归到治理理论本身,二是要给治理理论一个恰当的价值定位。在中国当前的公共生活和政治发展中,它只解决某些公共利益的分配方式问题,治理不是管理的替代词,并不能取代政府管理。

Governance theory is a new management paradigm emerging in 1990 s,which aims to overcome the failure of government and market. Due to the neglect of the special social conditions and the confusion between the Chinese traditional 'governance'and governance theory,so many variations happened. The variation is mainly expressed in three aspects: the abuse of the word 'governance',the dissimilation of publicity and the misreading of governance structure. In order to accurately grasp the essence of governance theory,we must return to governance theory itself and give it a proper value orientation. In China's current public life and political development,governance theory can only solve part of the problem on the way to distribute public interest; it can't replace'government'and 'government administration'.
