危机响应中经济恢复的地方差异性及其影响--以地方政府协同困境为中心的分析

Local Differences in Economic Recovery in Crisis Response and Their Impact--An Analysis Centered on the Plight of Local Government Coordination

在现代社会,经济恢复越来越成为危机响应的重要内容,这极大增加了国家危机管理的难度与复杂性。本文以新冠肺炎防控中企业复工复产困境为问题切入,通过对10个省(区)99个县108个村的调研,力图呈现危机响应中经济恢复地方差异性的生产机制及其影响。研究表明,危机响应中的经济恢复具有整体性与时效性的典型特征,这构建了地方政府协同治理的新情境。然而,在危机防控与经济恢复的双重压力下,地方政府经济恢复的积极性存在显著差异。经济恢复的制度激励、社会压力与治理能力是影响地方政府治理路径选择的关键因素。治理分化格局的形成,阻碍了地方政府间的有效协作,最终引发了全国经济秩序恢复的系统性困境。这表明,强化国家的统筹调控能力、建立精准的分级管控制度、均衡地方治理能力,是促成区域间协同治理、优化国家危机管理能力的重要手段。

The objective of this paper is to illustrate the differentiated economic recovery path that local governments will take in crisis response and its implications. A regional comparative study, involving 100 villages in 97 counties in 10 provinces (autonomous regions), was conducted. Economic recovery in crisis response has characteristics of integrity and timeliness, which constructs a new situation for local governments to coordinate governance. However, under the dual pressure of crisis prevention and control and economic recovery, there are significant differences in the enthusiasm of local governments in economic recovery. The institutional incentive, social pressure and governance ability of economic recovery are the key factors affecting the choice of local governments. The local difference of economic recovery hinders the effective cooperation between local governments and ultimately hinders the systematic predicament of national economic order restoration. This research is mainly based on the experience of county and village level, and the direct experience of province and city level is relatively less. Another limitation is that the study is based on the co VID-19 experience, and whether its findings can be applied to other types of public crises still needs further verification. The theoretical framework is helpful to understand the reasons of insufficient economic recovery capacity in China’s crisis response, and provides basic directions and specific policy suggestions for improving this problem. This paper reveals the unique governance situation of economic recovery in crisis response, and provides an analytical framework to explain China’s insufficient economic recovery capacity in crisis response from the perspective of local government relations. At the same time, this study emphasizes the heterogeneity of local governments, puts forward the concept of governance differentiation, which expands the current research on the synergy dilemma between local governments.
