公众参与的行为选择模型研究——基于地方政府的视角

On the Behavior Selection Model for Public Participation——From the Perspective of Local Government

推动公众参与是践行党的十九大提出的"打造共建共治共享社会治理格局"目标的重要举措。在实践中,地方政府对公众参与有着不同的行为选择。基于理论分析和实践观察,本文运用决策控制权的理论模型,通过多案例研究对这一理论模型进行了实证分析。分析发现,在某一公共议题中,地方政府的决策控制权受到来自社会压力、科层规则和政府收益三个方面因素不同程度的影响,地方政府追求在上述约束条件下的决策控制权最大化,由此决定了对公众参与有着或主动、或审慎、或被动的不同行为选择。

Prom oting public participation in government decision-making is an important measure to fulfill the goal of'building a pattern of co-construction,co-governance and sharing of social governance' put forward by the Nineteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China.In the real world,local governments have different behavior choices for public participation in decision-making.Based on theoretical analysis and practical observation,this paper proposes an analytical framework for decision-making control rights,and makes an empirical analysis of this theoretical model through multiple case studies.The research shows that in a certain issue,the decision-making control power of local government is affected to varying degrees by three factors:social pressure,bureaucratic rules and government revenue.Local government pursues the maximization of decision-making control power under the above-mentioned constraints,which determines whether it has or has initiative for public participation in decision-making,or whether it has initiative or not.Prudential or passive choice of behavior.Understanding the logic behind the government’s participation in different behavioral choices has important policy implications.
