西部地方政府与其培育社会组织的关系演变研究——一项单案例分析

Evolution of the Relationship between Local Government and Fostered Social Organization in Western China Based on a Single Case Study

理解地方政府与其培育的社会组织之间的关系及动态演化逻辑,推动政府与社会组织协同进化,既有助于揭示我国基层治理中政府与社会互动的规律,也是推进我国国家治理体系与治理能力现代化的现实需求。本文构建“外部环境-合理性-组织能力”分析框架,以A组织为例,基于单案例分析,探讨西部地方政府与其培育社会组织的关系演化及其影响因素。研究发现,在同时受到西部环境约束和中央政策支持的情况下,培育初始阶段,西部地区地方政府出于程序正当性和绩效认可度,直接培育社会组织;随着组织能力的发展,社会组织能够自主整合东部社会资源,助力西部地区政府破解当地基层治理困境;最终,西部地方政府与其培育社会组织逐渐走向协同进化。本文为我国西部地区地方政府培育社会组织、借助社会资源提升政府治理效能、推动政府与社会关系良性互动提供政策启示。
