特定事件、治理过程与治理文化--一个新的地方治理实践分析框架

20世纪八九十年代,随着全球化趋势的不断增强,加上中央政府采取了限制对地方政府拨款等收缩性的应对措施,许多欧洲国家的地方政府在有效实现地方治理和提高发展质量的基本功能上遇到了前所未有的压力。这些压力对政府的运作方式构成了改革压力,迫使地方政府在治理模式上必须做出相应变动,以平衡处于不同社会领域与社会层次的利益冲突,并进一步谋求通过集体行动解决各种公共问题。针对复杂的地方治理图景,英国纽卡斯尔大学著名的城市规划学者希莉和柯非基于自己的研究创立了一个新的地方治理实践分析框架。本文旨在介绍这一分析框架,并希望以此为基础,归纳和整合出一个可以用于我国地方治理实践的分析框架。

Specific Episodes, Governance Process And Governance Culture--A New Framework For Analyzing Local Governance Practice

This paper introduces an institutionalist framework for analyzing transformations in local governances developed by two professors of University of Newcastle, Patsy Healey Jon and Coaffee. On the basis of that, the paper tries to develop such a framework for analyzing China's local governance practice. The framework centers on an analytical conception of levels of social formation: specific episodes of collective action; the ongoing work of governance practices and discourse formation and use; and underpinning culturally embedded assumptions and habits. The central argument is that transformations in local governance capacity need to penetrate all three levels to effect enduring changes in governance cultures.
