摘要
1949年后,中央与地方政府权力关系的变迁可以从三个方面归纳:财政制度、人事制度,以及政策执行的模式。然而,这三个方面并非相互独立。建立在对财政与人事制度变迁的分析基础上,我们能够理解在财政激励与绩效考核的双重作用下,被地方政府所提倡、转化或限制的政策的行为逻辑。其中,人事制度和财政体系能够通过绩效评估与财政激励影响到中央和地方政府的互动关系。同时,绩效评估与财政激励引起的政策的选择性执行的逻辑,同样能够强化现行的人事制度和中央与地方的财政关系的模式特征,从而形成了一个内生的循环。同时,地方官员在官僚体系中存在某种程度的集体身份和相互制约的关系。
Since 1949,China's central and local relationships can be described in three aspects:the financial,the personnel,and the mode of policy implementation.These three aspects are not independent of one another.From the analysis of the financial and personnel systems,we can see the logic of advocating,converting and restricting policies.In the same fashion,the policies and their selective implementations can affect the operation of the personnel and financial systems.The interactions of these three systems together define China's central and local relations.
