中外比较视野下的治理单元:概念厘定、学理分析与治理贡献

The Comparative Analysis of Governance Units in China and Foreign Countries:Conceptual Definitions,Academic Insights,and Contributions to Governance

治理单元是世界范围使用的概念,各国在发展和治理中都设立了不同类型、不同规模和不同层级的治理单元。治理单元包括实体性治理单元和虚体性治理单元两类,它们在功能、机构、权力、财政、边界和生命周期等方面均有不同。中国在发展和治理中综合使用两类治理单元,形成了“行政区+经济区、功能区”的治理结构,对治理单元的恰当运用,是中国能够实现经济的持续增长和社会的长期稳定的一个秘诀。通过与国外治理单元的比较,分析中国在发展和治理中对治理单元的运用经验,可以为在国家治理现代化推进中进一步使用治理单元提供借鉴。

Governance units is a worldwide concept.Nations have established diverse types,scales,and levels of governance units throughout their development and governance.These governance units encompass both substantive and virtual forms,each differing in terms of functions,institutions,authority,financial structures,boundaries,and life cycles.In its development and governance,China employs a hybrid model that integrates two types of units,resulting in a governance framework characterized by"administrative regions+economic areas and functional zones".A key factor contributing to China's sustained economic growth and long-term social stability is the effective utilization of these governance units.By drawing comparisons with international governance frameworks,this paper examines China's experience regarding the application of such units within its development and governance,which can provide valuable references for further using governancee units in the process of advancing governance modernization.
