摘要
当前理论和实证上解释中国地方协商民主制度化决定因素的研究相对不足。以听证制度为例,检验各类经济社会因素对城市政府制定的听证文件数的影响,是一个有益的尝试。城市经济发展水平、贸易开放度、社会矛盾以及政府社会性支出力度都对听证制度建设有着显著的积极作用,而外商投资规模则不利于城市听证制度的发展。中国城市协商民主制度化建设具有鲜明的功能主义导向,其主要目的是提高治理能力,解决城市政府面临的经济社会问题。
Local deliberative democracy has been developing in both urban and rural China.But why have some cities been more likely to initiate and organize public hearings than others?Although some scholars have developed a functionalist explanation of the origin of deliberative democracy in contemporary China,there are few quantitative studies to map how wide public deliberation has spread across China and to explain why local governments adopt public deliberation.Using public hearings documents in 36Chinese cities as a form of institutionalization of public deliberation,this paper examines the effect of the key political,economic and social factors on the institutionalism of public hearings in relation to the number of public hearing documents.It finds that the level of economic development,trade openness,social conflict and the governmental social response are the main determinants of public hearings.We suggest that incentives of improving government capacity,especially the capacity to address eco-social issues is one of the most important drivers for the institutionalization of China's local public deliberation.
