CHINA CREATING “1+N” CENTRIC MODEL OF STATE GOVERNANCE

Through 40 years of reform and open-up,China’s system is no longer a monocentric one of centralized control and at the same time neither is it a polycentric one,but rather it is a"1+N"centric model of governance.It is a model that combines polycentric with monocentric with several centers,all of which however are centering on a mono-center.

China's model to combat the COVID-19 epidemic:a public health emergency governance approach

The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19)is of global health concern.It is a serious public health emergency for the entire world,threatening human life and public health security.To address the epidemic,it is necessary not only to take good prevention and treatment measures,but also to have effective and targeted public health emergency governance.That said,reports focusing on governance are scant.In this commentary,we summarize China’s model to combat the COVID-19 epidemic from a public health emergency governance approach.Stemmed from goals and values,a number of mechanisms are put forward,which include:a whole-ofgovernment response and accountability,setting up a multi-sectoral cooperation platform,swiftly scaling up epidemic emergency capacity,whole-of-society actions with engagement of social organizations,and engaging citizens in the epidemic prevention and control.As the epidemic continues to evolve,other countries might learn from China to build their own,context-specific models for better outcomes.

Empirical Analysis of City Contact in Zhujiang(Pearl) River Delta, China

In traditional urban geography, city contact research is a classic study element in city research. In general, researchers use the traditional gravity model to characterize the contacts that exist between two cities. The traditional gravity model assumes ideal conditions, but these preconditions and their results often do not exist in realistic conditions. Thus, we used a modified gravity model to characterize the city contacts within a specific region. This model considers factors such as intercity complementarities, government intervention, and the diversity of the transportation infrastructure which is characterized as the transportation distance instead of the traditional Euclidean distance. We applied this model to an empirical study of city contact in the Zhujiang(Pearl) River Delta(PRD) of China. The regression results indicated that the modified gravity model could measure city contact more accurately and comprehensively than the traditional gravity model, i.e., it yielded a higher adjusted R2 value(0.379) than the traditional gravity model result(0.259). Our study also suggests that, in addition to urban-regional and metropolitan development, the complementarities of the basic functions of cities at the administrative and market levels, as well as the corporeal and immaterial levels, play very significant roles in the characterization of city contact. Given the complexity of city contact, it will be necessary to consider more relevant influential factors in the modified gravity model to characterize the features of city contact in the future.

China,an emerging power,is exploring its own development model

Since the reform and opening up in the late 1970s,China has gradually developed its own model of development.The fact that China has effectively resisted the negative impact of the global financial crisis points to the uniqueness of the China model.While the term"China model"has been widely used in the media and policy circles,not enough scholarly attention has been paid to China’s developmental experience.This paper attempts to look into the China model from a political economic perspective.In discussing the China model,most people will refer to China’s experience in economic development.However,the author argues that center to the China model is the country’s political development.The author believes that it is not correct to argue that the China model is characterized by"economic reform without political reform."The author shows how changes have taken place in Chinese politics in order to promote economic growth.The paper highlights many characteristics of the China political model and economic model and demonstrates how politics and economics are interlinked.

Structure and governance model of rural social space quality:A case study of Longxi County in the Loess Hilly Area of China

The rural social space quality is an important indicator to measure the living standard and thinking ideas and so forth of rural residents in a certain region.In this paper,213 administrative villages in Longxi County of the Loess Hilly Area,China are taken as evaluation units to construct the evaluation model of the rural social space quality.This paper deeply analyzed the variation patterns and their formation mechanism of the rural social space quality at a village scale,and proposed a governance model based on the rural social space quality.The results show that:(1)the social space quality levels of individual administrative villages show a gradually decreasing trend from the township seats to outward.The eastern part of Longxi County has a relatively high education level and living standard,and the western part has a relatively high population stability level and income level.(2)The rural social space quality is mainly in a ring structure,supplemented by the interlaced structure.The core area is the towns and their surrounding areas,while the transition area,marginal area,and other areas are expanded around the core area.(3)Social forces and spatial effects jointly shape the variation of the rural social space quality.Social organizations provide a driving force for the allocation of elements,and interweaving with the spatial effects lead to the differences in the social space quality.(4)The governance models of the rural social space quality are constructed based on the principles of retaining the rural“people”,optimizing the rural“land”,and developing the rural“industry”,so as to improve the rural centripetal force,core force,inner thrust,and source power.

What determine herder households' sustainable grassland management behaviors in western China?

Grassland is most important in China due to its multi-functions. However, about 90% of total usable grassland in China has been degraded and the degradation expands at a rate of 2 million ha per year. Western China covers 6.12 million square kilometers and 63.8% of the total national area with a distribution of 50 minority nationalities and 75% of the minority national population. Ecological environment there is very vulnerable with more than 90% areas of the annually increased degradation taking place. Under the current tenure arrangement, the individual herder households become the main and direct users of grassland, their decision-making on grassland management may have crucial impact on ecological environment as well as their livelihoods. Thus, it is necessary to examine the determinants of their grassland management behaviors. This study applies 231 household field data from 6 provinces of western China and uses econometric models to explore the major constraints for restricting the herd households' grassland management behaviors. Main results show that under the current tenure and other governance measures, institutional factors, market price and herder's farm and household's characteristics affect the grassland management behaviors.

大变局下的全球气候治理与中国的战略选择——基于首次全球盘点的分析

2023年迪拜气候大会完成了对《巴黎协定》的首次全球盘点,明确指出《巴黎协定》已经取得了重要进展,但各缔约方尚未集体步入实现《巴黎协定》的宗旨及其长期目标的轨道,距离实现这一目标仍存在巨大差距。这次气候大会也确定了转型脱离化石燃料的路线图,以便在2050年实现净零排放,这标志着化石燃料时代终结的开始,也表明绿色转型的时代潮流不仅不可逆转,而且转型的步伐在未来十年将持续加快。当今世界正面临百年未有之大变局,全球气候治理的紧迫性显著上升。作为国际社会的负责任大国和全球气候治理的关键行为体,中国需要从构建人类命运共同体的战略高度出发,利用首次全球盘点向国际社会发出清晰信号,坚定推进自身“双碳”目标的实现,积极推动和引领全球低碳转型,为实现全球气候治理目标贡献更大力量。

美欧数据要素市场治理模式比较与中国因应——基于全球数字经济战略博弈的视角考察

数据要素是指根据特定生产需求汇聚、整理、加工而成的计算机数据及其衍生形态;伴随着通信和数据技术的发展,其在相应产业背景的演变中逐渐成为促进生产的关键要素。从全球数字经济战略博弈视角而言,数据要素治理模式关乎数字经济发展的速度和质量;选择何种模式属于重组全球要素资源、重塑经济结构、改变竞争格局的战略决策。美欧等发达国家和地区已逐步确立符合自身优势特点的数据要素市场治理模式,以获取全球数据要素治理规范标准的主导权。美国基于全球市场导向的国家战略和强大数字经济实力,整体上奉行以数据自由为基础的“开放、进攻型数据治理模式”,构筑美国主导的全球数据要素市场治理规范体系;欧盟基于人本主义传统和缺少强大数字科技平台企业的实际,选择以人权保障为基础的“强监管、全面防御型数据治理模式”,推行欧盟版的全球数据要素市场治理规范体系。中国应直面美欧竞争态势,一方面深入研究美国和欧盟模式的竞争优势及不足,不断探究、揭示并恪守数字经济发展规律;另一方面,应结合中国自身特点和优势,合理借鉴美欧经验,以期后中争先,提出以数据安全为基石的“开放、积极防御型数据治理模式”(即“中国模式”),持续不断地形塑有利于中国数字经济发展的全球数字经济新格局。

Collusion and Economic Growth: A New Perspective on the China Model

In this paper,we propose a political-economy model of China that explains both the rapid economic growth and frequent rate of accidents that have occurred in China.The central government delegates authority to the local government to regulate the production activities of the firm.Under information asymmetry,the local government can collude with the firm and choose"bad"technology,the use of which will lead to faster economic growth and more accidents than the use of"good"technology.We characterize optimal equilibrium within collusion contracts,under which the central government will allow collusion when the cost to eliminate collusion is high.We also characterize the optimal collusion-proof contract,under which the payments,reprimands,and taxes that take place between the local government and the firm are endogenously determined.Our predictions on collusion and growth are supported by an empirical study on the coal industry.

西南山区乡村人居环境治理:模式比较与政策启示——以4个典型村落为例

探索乡村人居环境治理的有效模式对推进乡村建设,促进乡村振兴具有重要意义。文章基于西南山区4个典型村落人居环境治理的实地调研,依据农户行为理论、公共选择理论、委托代理理论和多中心治理理论,按照治理主体力量的不同,将其划分为村民自主治理、政府治理、市场治理和多中心治理4种主要模式,并深入比较4种治理模式的实践机制。研究发现:4种模式在乡村人居环境治理中各有利弊,且适用环境不尽相同。距县城、中心镇较远,宗亲关系密切和农户较为分散的村落适宜推行村民自主治理模式;人口较为集聚且政府治理能力强的村落适宜推行政府治理模式;资源禀赋强、人文历史和交通条件好的村落适宜推行市场治理模式;村落发展较好且利益联动机制较为完善的村落,适宜推行多中心治理模式。西南山区乡村人居环境治理水平总体较低,后续治理任务依然艰巨,针对政府治理成本大、市场进出机制不完善和村民参与不积极等问题,从政府、市场和村民等视角提出了相应建议。

Analysis on the Effect of Government Investment on Private Investment in Western China——Take Province A as an Example

Since China began reforming and opening up its economy,and especially since the launch of development projects in western China,province A has attracted an increasing amount of investment,which is the main driving force for provincial economic growth.Hence,this study uses a state space model to examine how government investment has affected economic growth in province A in western China,and explains whether there is a crowding-in effect or a crowding-out effect of local government investment on private investment.The findings indicate that both government and private investments have a positive,stimulating influence on economic growth in province A,with the latter being more impactful than the former.Productive and non-productive investments have different effects on province A’s economic growth.From the perspective of the trajectory of government investment elasticity,the elasticity of government and private investments in province A presents a very large spatio-temporal change.That is,from 1994 to 2009,government investment in province A had a crowding-in effect on private investment,but from 2010 to 2017,a crowding-out effect was observed.

“第三波浪潮”里中国数字治理的世界影响与时代价值

数字时代治理已经呈现从“第二波浪潮”向“第三波浪潮”演进的态势,对身处这一环境中的亚非拉诸多国家而言,西方数字治理模式吸引力逐渐下降,中国数字治理模式吸引力则稳步上升。中国数字治理的世界影响与时代价值主要是:中国为亚非拉国家提供数字治理指导理论、数字治理模式的全新选项。从前景来看,中国数字治理的世界影响与时代价值将进一步增强,其中的启示是:数字治理过程中必须以本国国情为主、经验借鉴为辅,构建与本国国情相符的数字治理模式;在执政党领导下遵照总路线一以贯之地推进数字治理进程;在技术创新与制度变革双重驱动下实现因需制宜;有效借助非均衡政策将不平衡程度控制在适度范围内。

试论城市管治的模式及其在中国的应用

在城市管治研究领域 ,Jon pierre(1999)关于城市管治模式的总结极具代表性 :管理模式 (managerial)、社团模式 (corporatist)、支持增长模式 (progrowth)、福利模式 (welfare)。这一总结成为了城市管治的理论基础 ,对城市管治研究产生了深远的影响。转型时期中国城市经济的迅速发展使得原有管理体制的不适应性逐渐暴露出来 ,对城市规划与管理提出新的挑战 ,同时也对我国刚刚开展的城市管治研究提出现实而又迫切的课题。本文正是从现实出发 ,在深入研究西方城市管治模式的基础上指出 :目前中国城市管治主要以福利模式和支持增长模式为主 ,相应机制尚未完善且相互之间缺乏有机协调的结合 ;中国城市管治应进一步完善与运作管理模式和社团模式 ,同时加强多种管治模式的交互与整合。

演进中的“中国模式”：战略、机制与架构

"中国模式"已日益引起关注,统一的发展战略与"经济分权与政治集权"的治理模式构成其基本构架。在改革探索的实践中,中国模式形成了政策形成机制和激励机制两种具体的治理机制,并表现出三个明显的演进特征:通过不断学习形成的自我发展性质、"从谈判到规则"的利益协调性质和"从数量到效率"的竞争性质。两种治理机制和三个演进特征使中国模式具有极强的自我发展和完善的能力。随着客观条件、形势的变化而不断演进的中国模式就具有了可持续性,作为一种发展中的理论构架,其不仅能够指引中国的未来,而且体现出理论本身的一般适用性。
