潜规则情态下地方政府行政成本控制的困境及其出路

地方政府行政成本控制问题不仅是整个社会关注的焦点，还一直是我国政府改革进程中的一个治理顽疾。在我国积极构建节约型政府进程中，虽然地方政府行政成本控制水平已有所提升，但在聚集普遍性、非法性、非公开性、灵活性和关联性等特点于一身的“潜规则”情态下，依然面临着制度缺失致使权力异化、观念障碍导致认同困境、监督主体责任致使监督走样和追求利益最大化导致价值取向纠结等多重困境。要破解诸此困境以寻求治理出路，各级地方政府必须牢固树立规范意识，强化法制观念，并致力于夯实群众对节约行政成本的认同基础；同时不断加大行政成本信息的公开力度，确保民众充分享有知情权，而且还需不断提高民众的综合监督素养，并注重运用一定策略来排除行政成本控制过程中的价值困扰。因此，潜规则情态下地方政府有效控制行政成本需要一个整体性治理的过程。

The Predicament and Solution of Local Government Administrative Cost Control under Latent Rule Modality

Local government administrative cost control is not only a focus of social concern, bust also a chronic disease in the reform process of the Chinese government. In the process of actively building a saving-oriented government, although the level of local government administration cost control has been improved, under the latent rules modality featured with the universality, illegalness, non-openness, and flexibility there still face many predicaments, such as power alienation due to system absence, identity dilemma due to idea obstacle, supervision deformation due to the supervisors’ responsibility, and value orientation conflict due to seeking for maximal benefits. To break such plights to find a way out, the government must firmly establish norms awareness, strengthen legal concept, and be committed to consolidating the base of people＇s identification to cost-saving, at the same time, increase the intensity of the public information of administrative costs, and improve people＇s supervision quality, and focus on the use of certain cost control policies to eliminate the value bother in the process of administrative cost control. Therefore, under the latent rules modality, that local government effectively controls the administrative cost needs a holistic governance process.
