政府机构改革中的“怪圈”探析——兼议完善大部制改革的方向

从我国政府机构改革发展历程看,政府机构及人员"精简—膨胀—再精简—再膨胀""怪圈"存在具有客观必然性,当前的大部制改革在具有合理性的同时,也存在局限性。因此,政府治理与改革不能以简单的机构增减论成败,而要以能否准确及时回应生产力发展和社会需求为准则,不断调整、完善和优化政府职能,以控制人均行政成本为中心,完善监督机制,实现"市场—政府"的动态平衡和"小政府、大社会"的善治模式,从而延长"怪圈"循环周期,直至走出怪圈。

Exploration into the Cycles in the Reform of Government Institutions——Together with Improvement of the Direction of Super-ministry Reform

Seen from the process of China’s reform of government institutions,the existence of the cycle of "downsizing government agencies and personnel—expanding again—compacting—further expanding" is objective and inevitable,and the current super-ministry reform has limitations.Therefore,the government’s management and reform cannot simply be measured by the increase or decrease in the number of institutions,but by whether they can accurately respond to the development of productive forces and social demands.The government’s management and reform should constantly adjust,improve and optimize government functions,center round controlling the average administrative cost,perfecting supervisory mechanism and optimizing allocation of resources,achieve the dynamic balance between market and government,and prolong the cycle time so as to get out of the cycle.
