制度结构、非均衡依赖与基层治理困境的再生产——以居委会减负悖论为例

Institutional Structure,Non-equilibrium Dependence and the Reproduction of Grassroots Governance Dilemma——Taking Paradox of Burden Reduction in Neighborhood Committees as an Example

基于国家治理方略的要求以及城市社会生活变迁的需要,各地不断探索基层治理创新的机制、路径、模式。但是,诸多旨在消解传统治理体制与基层生活实践的制度与机制创新却不断遭遇一个现实,即大量的基层治理困境正在不断创新的实践中被再生产出来,这对我国地方政府加强和改进基层社会治理带来了一系列的挑战。本研究聚焦于基层治理实践中的居委会减负悖论现象,试图呈现出基层治理困境再生产的机制与逻辑。研究发现,减负的制度安排使得居委会与社工站形成了竞争性关系,居委会在原有的基层治理结构中的地位相对弱化,在旧制度的延续与新治理结构之间的制度堕距中,居委会采取了主动行政化的策略来重新建构与强化其与政府的非均衡依赖关系,结果导致其负担再次加重。

Based on the requirement of national governance strategy and the needs of urban social life change, the mechanism,path and mode of grassroots governance innovation have been constantly explored all over the country. However, it's in the practice of continuous innovation that many grassroots governance difficulties are reproduce, which has brought a train of challenges for our local government to reinforce and improve the social governance at the grass-roots level. This study focuses on the paradox of neighborhood committee burden reduction in grassroots governance practice and tries to present the mechanism and logic of the reproduction of grassroots governance difficulties by using the analytical framework of 'institutional lag' and 'non-equilibrium dependent.' The system arrangement of burden reduction weakens the position of residents' committee in existing grass-roots governance structure, and the continuation of Street residence means that the resources acquisition mode,concepts and cognition of neighborhood committees are maintained traditional ways. Facing the challenge of institutional lag, theneighborhood adopted various strategies to rebuild and strengthen its non balanced dependence with the government, resulting in the aggravation of burden again, thus achieving the reproduction of grassroots governance dilemma.
