村级治理现代化与治理有效

Modernization of Village-level Governance and Effective Governance

近几年全国农村基层治理发生了翻天覆地的变化,其突出表现是,不仅东部沿海发达地区农村村级治理正规化和规范化了,而且中西部农业型农村地区村级治理也开始正规化和规范化。村级治理正规化的原因,一是国家资源下乡,二是受到国家治理现代化的驱动,尤其受到国家治理体系现代化的驱动。村级治理的特殊性在于,作为最基层行政建制,村级治理直接面对群众且基层治理事务细小琐碎、不规范不标准。正规化和规范化的村级治理体系片面追求治理精细化,过度强调精准治理,往往缺少面对群众和基层治理事务所需要的灵活性,出现了普遍的形式主义,导致基层治理无效。在当前时期,村级治理现代化的重点不应该是精细化和精准治理,而应该是治理有效。

In recent years,great changes have taken place in primary-level governance in rural China,with a prominent feature that the rural village-level governance in the eastern coastal developed areas has become well-regulated and standardized,and the agricultural rural areas in the central and western regions have also exhibiting similar trend.The standardization of village-level governance is driven by the availability of the national resources in rural areas,and remarkable achievements in modernizing state governance,state governance system in particular.The particularity of village-level governance lies in that,as the most basic administrative system,village-level governance directly faces the masses and grass-roots governance affairs are trivial,therefore under-regulated and not standard.While a well-regulated and standardized village-level governance system may tend to unduly pursue thoughtfully-designed governance,with excessive emphasis on precise governance,and often lacks the flexibility needed by the masses and in grass-roots governance affairs,which may lead to widespread practice of formalities for formalities'sake and invalid governance.At present,the focus of the modernization of village-level governance should not be refined and precise governance,but on effective governance.
