欧美大都市区治理:从传统区域主义走向新区域主义

Metropolitan Governance in Europe and the United States:from Traditional Regionalism to New Regionalism

自19世纪20年代以来,如何有效治理大都市区的政府碎片化问题,成为西方发达国家学者研究的热点问题之一。在此过程中,传统区域主义和新区域主义是两种重要的治理思潮,并在政府跨界治理决策和政府体制改革创新中发挥了重要的指导作用。文章探讨了传统区域主义思想的内涵,新区域主义的起因、主要特征及其治理实践响应、面临的挑战与发展趋势,认为尽管新区域主义受到一定的青睐,其发展前途仍有待进一步观察。中国在具体的治理模式选择中,既要充分吸收借鉴西方大都市区治理理论的精髓,又要注重西方理论的中国化改造,构建多样多层跨界治理模式。

Since the 1820s,how to effectively deal with the problem of government's fragmentation in metropolitan area has become a hot topic for researchers in western countries.In this process,two important governance thoughts--traditional regionalism and new regionalism--emerged and played an important guiding role in government's integrated decision-making governance and government's institutional innovation and reform.This paper illuminates the meaning,the origin,and main features of traditional regionalism,then,its challenges ahead-on and development trend.Though new regionalism is favored to some extent,its development prospect still needs to be observed.In choosing its specific governance model,China needs both to fully absorb the quintessence of the Western metropolitan governance theory and its modification in China so as to construct a multi-layered,diversified and integrated governance model.
