中国地方政府的廉政创新模式及其地域差异:基于460个地方创新案例的分析

Differ or Reconcile? Patterns of Anti-corruption Innovation in Local China

本文收集了2012—2016年五年间各省份的460个廉政创新案例,总结了廉政创新的三种模式:上级政策的地方性执行类、新技术应用类和地方原创性制度类。根据三种廉政创新模式在全国范围内所体现出的不同特征,以东、中、西部区域为分析单元比较了三类创新模式的发展变化趋势。描述性统计分析发现,第三类创新与前两类相比难度最大,数量最少。三类制度创新模式的数量在三个地区都呈整体增长的趋势。其中,西部地区的三类模式的数量均在不断增长,而东部和中部地区的第二、三类创新模式在2015年之后有所下降。基于此,本文进一步探讨了廉政创新模式地域差异的成因,指出三类创新模式在东、中、西部的发展水平的差异受到了地区经济水平、地方领导人等因素的影响。本研究的发现打破了以往文献所形成的刻板印象,即反腐败是以从中央到地方的'自上而下'的方式来进行的,由此印证了地方层面廉政制度创新的积极性,对中国廉政创新研究的理论和现实都提供了阶段性成果和重要素材。

Anti-corruption innovations at local levels matter in building an incorrupt government.This study challenges the above-mentioned viewpoint and believes that it is a combination of both top-down and bottom-up efforts by analyzing the recent local anti-corruption innovations.The findings suggest that first,the third innovative pattern registers the highest difficulty and the least quantity compared with its counterparts.Second,all the three innovative patterns present an overall increase in terms of total quantity;among which the western regions display constantly increase for all these three patterns while the eastern and middle regions have witnessed a decrease of pattern two and pattern three since 2015.On this basis,this study further elaborates the causes of the regional differences by revealing that the discrcpantly institutional foundation of anti-corruption innovation in different regions is restricted mostly by the economic conditions and local leadership.
