作为国家治理基本手段的虚体性治理单元

Virtual Governance Unit as a Basic Tool of National Governance

虚体性治理单元包括经济区和功能区等,其特点是功能少,机构设置简单,权力不完整,边界“软”。虚体性治理单元可以克服行政区等实体性治理单元的弱点,是一种国家空间治理手段。改革开放后,虚体性治理单元成为一种重要的发展和治理工具,被广泛应用于经济开发、跨行政区环境治理、公共服务等方面,先后出现了经济区、特区、功能区、综合配套改革试验区、自贸区、国家级新区等方式。党的十八大以来,城市群和经济带等成为新的国家治理单元。分析虚体性治理单元的这些演变,有助于认识中国空间治理的路径与逻辑。
