“圈层式创新”:自贸试验区制度创新微观机理研究——基于苏州片区创新实践的分析

"Circular Innovation":A Study on the Micro-Mechanism of Institutional Innovation in PFTZs:Analysis based on Suzhou PFTZ Innovation Practice

为何自贸试验区能在短时间内涌现众多制度创新成果?以苏州片区为案例的研究表明,“圈层式创新”构成自贸试验区制度创新在微观层次的主导性叙事。基于行动者网络理论的分析发现,圈层式创新是多元行动者以圈层互动和关系调适为中轴的组织化与策略化创新行为。多元行动者以圈层互动的方式构建的行动者网络,是圈层式创新的结构基础;在核心行动者主导性策略的推动下,圈层式创新沿着问题具体化、利益相关化、征召与动员等转译阶段持续运转;多元行动者在圈层互动中的非均衡关系,决定着圈层式创新的结果会分化为授权型、合作型和整合型等多种类型。过程与结果的内在关联表明,在关系选择性调适逻辑的支配下,圈层式创新在激发创新活力的同时也存在明显的约束条件。为此,持续推动自贸试验区制度创新,应聚焦于结构、过程、机制等多维度的系统化再造和深度联动,以构筑起良性的制度成长机制和创新生态。

Why have PFTZs been able to produce so many institutional innovations in a short period of time?The case study of Suzhou PFTZs shows that"circular innovation"constitutes the dominant narrative of institutional innovation in PFTZs at the micro level.Based on the analysis of actor network theory,it is found that circular innovation is the organised and strategisation of innovation behaviours of multiple actors with a ceutral axis of circular interaction and relational accomodation;the actor network constructed by multiple actors through circular interaction is the structural basis of circular innovation;driven by the dominant strategies of core actors,circular innovation operates continuously along the stages of problem concretisation,interest-relatedness,and recruitment and mobilisation;multiple actors are continuously working in the stages of problem concretisation,interest-relatedness,recruitment and mobilisation;circular innovation has been the dominant narrative at the micro level.The non-equilibrium relationship between multiple actors in the circular interaction determines that the results of circular innovation will inecitablu be differentiated into various types of innoration,such as empowerment,cooperation and integration.The intrinsic correlation between process and result shows that under the domination of the logic of selective adjustment of relationship,circular innovation has obvious constraints while stimulating innovation vitality.For this reason,the continuous promotion of institutional innovation in PFTZs should focus on the systematic reengineering and in-depth linkage of structure,process,mechanism and other dimensions,so as to construct a benign institutional growth mechanism and innovation ecology.
