超越集权与分权,走向府际协作治理

Towards Intergovernmental Collaborative Governance

"集权、分权视角"是分析我国中央与地方关系的主流思路。随着治理环境的演变与公共事务的日益复杂,这种致力于权力结构优化、寻求权力平衡并以权威和控制为目标的分析范式日益显现其局限性和不足。超越集权与分权,转而关注中央与地方之间的互动过程、政策发展与治理绩效,构建中央与地方基于合权共享、责任共担与双向互动基础上的协作关系等成为分析我国中央与地方关系的新思路。构建中央与地方的协作关系,同时意味着从传统的以权威控制为特征的治理模式向协作治理模式的转型。

China’s analysis of the central-local relations have always used the centralization versus decentralization perspective.This perspective focuses on structural optimization and power distribution balance,and authoritarian central control.As the governance environment and management complexities change in public affairs,this traditional approach and analytical method is no longer enough.The authors of this paper proposes to go beyond this traditional analytical framework and adopt a new paradigm-the paradigm of collaborative governance in the study and handling of central local government relations in China.The new approach focuses on the interactive process,policy development and governance performance,collaborative relationship-based power-sharing,responsibility-sharing,and two-way interaction between the central and local government.
