利益·权力结构·制度变迁－－关于当前行政改革难点的新制度经济学解说

Interest, Power Structure and Institutional Change; Aneo- institutional Economics Analysis on Difficulties in Current Administrative Reform

行政改革本质上是一次对权力和权利进行重新界定的制度变迁过程,在更深层的意义上,它是一个利益关系变动过程.制度变迁的初始条件及"路径依赖"决定了当前中国行政改革具有渐进性、过渡性及滞后性特征,改革的难点是行政权力的重新界定与规范运行,这是一种"非帕雷托改变",必然改变原有的利益分配格局,由此而产生的"摩擦成本"使改革更显复杂.

Administrative reform is essentially a course of change of the old institution and redistribution of powers and interests. It is, in the deep sense, a course of the change of interest relations. Initial conditions of institutional changes and 'Path-dependence' determine China's administrative reform to be gradual, transitional and backward. The difficulties in the reform are the redistribution and normative operating of administrative powers. It is, in fact, a kind of 'Paretian Change', in which the old pattern of interest distribution is to be changed and hereby the 'frictional cost' is born, making the reform even more complicated.
