我国地方政策转移中的政策“再建构”研究——基于江苏省一个地级市河长制转移的扎根理论分析

Research on "Policy Re-construction" in Regional Policy Transfer in China——Based on Grounded Theory Analysis of the River-chief System Transfer in a City of Jiangsu Province

本文致力于发掘我国地方政策创新在转移过程中的"再建构"逻辑及其与政策绩效之间的内在联系。基于江苏省一个地级市河长制转移的案例,采用扎根理论方法构建出我国地方政策转移的"行动者-情境-产出"模型。研究表明:政策创新的脱嵌、传播、嵌入受到行动者的认知、利益、互动的影响;行动者结构和互动状况随着创新政策转移的开展呈现动态演变的态势,构成我国地方政策转移中政策"再建构"的能动性力量;我国地方政策转移开展及其最终绩效受到移入地区情境性要素的影响;行动者与情境之间的交互作用推动着政策创新在转移过程中实现"再建构",构成影响我国地方政策转移绩效产出的核心变量。"行动者-情境-产出"模型作为我国地方政策转移中政策"再建构"的理论概化,跟进了西方政策转移研究中的建构主义思潮,将研究的视野拓展到政策创新脱嵌、传播、再嵌入、产出的全过程,对影响因素的考察同时涵盖了主体性因素和情境性因素,一定程度上拓展了我国地方政策转移研究的广度和深度,对于我国地方政策转移的顶层设计和行动者行为引导都具有启发意义。

This paper aims to explore the "re-construction" logic of regional policy innovation in the process of transfer and its internal relationship with policy performance. Based on the case of River-chief System transfer in a city of Jiangsu province, this study uses grounded theory to construct the "actor-situation-output" model of regional policy transfer in China. The disembeddedness, dissemination and embeddedness of policy innovation are influenced by actors’ cognition, interests and interaction. With the development of innovation policy transfer,the structure and interaction of actors are changing dynamically, which constitutes a dynamic force for the reconstruction of regional policy transfer in China. The development and final performance of China’s regional policy transfer are influenced by the situational factors of the transferred areas. The interaction between actors and situations promotes the "re-construction" of policy innovation in the process of transfer, which constitutes the core variable affecting the output of regional policy transfer performance in China. It still has few limitation by case studies, which the theoretical model constructed in this study still needs to be further tested and ex-panded. Therefore the investigation of "policy re-construction" in regional policy transfer has enlightening significance for the top-level design of regional policy transfer and the guidance of actors’ behavior. As a theoret-ical generalization of policy reconstruction in regional policy transfer in China, the actor-context-output model follows up the constructivism trend of thought in the research of western policy transfer. The research scope is extended to the whole process of policy innovation removal, dissemination, re-embedding and output, and the investigation of influencing factors covers both subjective factors and situational factors, which to some extent expands the breadth and depth of research on regional policy transfer in China.
