A Study on the Deficiency of Democratization during Decision Process on A Project: Illustrated by the Case of Harbin-Yilan Gas Project

作为哈尔滨历史上最大的民生工程之一,哈尔滨–依兰煤气工程由于在经济效益和总体社会效益方面存在较大问题,某种程度上可被定位成一项失败的民生工程。本文通过文献分析法对哈尔滨–依兰煤气工程的失败进行研究,并发现该项工程在决策过程中存在民主化缺失问题,并从专家论证、政府内部决策、媒体监督和公民权利四个角度切入,对哈尔滨–依兰煤气工程持续决策过程中民主化缺失及原因进行分析。最后以社会学视角对该工程的失败进行反思,对民生工程决策过程中如何有效实践民主化提出建议。
