以行政协同治理推动区域协同发展——成渝地区双城经济圈协同推进机关事务标准化工作范例

随着区域协同发展政策战略地位的不断提高,区域协同研究正如火如荼,但现阶段学界尚有待阐明区域协同瓶颈之因并提出解决之法及相应的区域协同新机制。本研究试图聚焦于此,在理论层面梳理区域协同瓶颈产生机制与区域协同新机制,并对成渝地区双城经济圈协同推进机关事务标准化工作进行案例分析与问卷调查,在实证层面检验本研究的两个理论框架。案例分析发现,以机关事务为例,成渝地区双城经济圈存在治理尺度差异,这与中央政策调控共同构成协同的内外动机,驱动成渝地区深化合作意愿,卷入区域协同;与此同时,地方保护主义现象在两地机关事务标准化协同工作中亦有所披露,并阻碍了成渝地区双城经济圈建设的协同发展。问卷调查数据进一步验证案例分析结果:推进协同地区加强行政治理协同、推进治理尺度统一具有紧要性,成渝地区双城经济圈建设推进标准化执行助推区域协同发展,标准化的行政治理协同增强了成渝地区双城经济圈协同互信意识,在一定程度上消解行政壁垒和地方保护主义;此外,当前成渝地区双城经济圈建设干部协同卷入的奖惩机制不完善,行政治理协同还需大力推进,两地协同仍有较强的地方本位意识。基于此,本研究认为,地方保护现象是长久以来中国实行区域分治所衍生的治理产物,消弭地方保护主义、强化区域一体化思维成为协同瓶颈破局之必然要求,而基于行政尺度视角出发的行政协同治理则可能通过为地区卷入协同建构与区域空间相适配的治理尺度,从而成为区域协同必然的路径选择。并且,协同是基于时间矢量上不断发展变换的过程,地方政府应当通过牢牢把握不同阶段中区域协同"动机—路径—目的"三核心元素以寻求合理的区域协同合作。

Promoting regional collaborative development through administrative collaborative governance:Examples of collaborative efforts to promote standardization of institutional affairs in Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle

With the increasing emphasis on the strategic position of regional synergy development policies in China, increasing studies on regional synergy have been paid attention to by the academic community, but the current academic community has yet to elucidate the bottleneck causes and solutions of regional synergy, as well as the corresponding new mechanisms of regional synergy. This study attempts to focus on this, to sort out the mechanisms of regional synergy bottlenecks and new mechanisms of regional synergy at the theoretical level, as well as to test the two theoretical frameworks at the empirical level through case studies and questionnaire surveys on the collaboration of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle in promoting the standardization of institutional affairs. The case study found that in the case of institution affairs, for instance, there are governance scale differences in the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, which together with the central policy regulation constitute the internal and external motivation for synergy, driving the willingness of the Chengdu-Chongqing region to deepen the cooperation and involve in the regional synergy; At the same time, the phenomenon of local protectionism is also in the standardization of institutional affairs in the collaborative work, and impede the synergistic development of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. The questionnaire data further validated the results of the case study: it is important to promote the synergistic region to strengthen the administrative governance synergy and to promote the unity of the governance scale, and the implementation of the standardization of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle can help promote the synergistic development of the region, while the standardization of the administrative governance synergy also enhances the synergistic and mutual trust awareness of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, and eliminates, to a certain extent, the administrative barriers and local protectionism; The current Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle cadres involved in the synergistic reward and punishment mechanism is deficient, the administrative governance synergy needs to be developed, and the local sense of propriety needs to be further resolved. Based on this, this study argues that the phenomenon of local protection is a governance product derived from China''s longstanding regional division of governance, and that eliminating local protectionism and strengthening regional integration thinking may become an inevitable requirement for breaking the bottleneck of synergy, while administrative collaborative governance based on the perspective of administrative scale may become an inevitable path choice for regional synergy through the construction of a governance scale that is compatible with the regional space. In addition, synergy is a process of continuous development and transformation based on the time vector, and local governments should seek reasonable regional synergy by firmly grasping the three core elements of regional synergy, namely, "motivation-path-purpose" in different stages.
