权责清单制度:建构现代政府的中国方案

Power List and Responsibility List System:Chinese Approach to Building the Modern Government

权责清单制度是简政放权、依法行政和政府信息公开的延续与深化,是中国试图给出的建构现代政府的重要方案,其制度精神表现为划定政府权力边界、消除设租寻租空间和塑造有为敢为政府相统一、深化政府信息公开与保障社会知情权相统一、权责清单制度建设与全面推进依法行政相统一。浙江、安徽、上海等地在权责清单细分标准、权责清单运行模式等方面进行了实践探索。但是,从建构现代政府的高度看,既有实践还存在诸如抽象行政行为游离在清单之外等问题。未来改革方向应当从引入法治思维、完善清单内容、优化权责互动机制、加强基础性工作等方面,进一步改善权责清单制度实践,推动中国现代政府建构进程。

Rooted in 'streamlining administration and delegating power', 'administrating by law' and 'opening government information',power list and responsibility list system is now being adopted by China as a way to modernize its government.The system' s spirits can be defined as follows:clarifying the boundary of government power,eliminating rent-setting and rent-seeking space while motivating government to shoulder the responsibility;increasing transparency in government and protecting citizens' rights to be informed;combining power list and responsibility list system construction with completely advancing administration by law.Zhejiang,Anhui,Shanghai and some other provinces already did some work on classification standards and operational modes of power list and responsibility list.However,from the view of constructing the modern government,there are still some problems in current practices,such as,abstract administrative power is not included in power list.To improve quality of the practice of power list and responsibility list system,and push forward the process of constructing the modern government,China should introduce the idea of rule of law,improve the content of lists,optimize the interactive mechanism between power and responsibility,and strengthen fundamental works.
