摘要
政府创新及其引发的政策创新不仅是中国新时代改革与开放的重大实践问题,而且也是公共管理学的重大理论问题。论文围绕政府创新的研究概况、内涵外延、行动层级、行动类型、政策领域和理论建构等议题,对1990—2021年间发表的584篇关于中国政府创新的中英文文献进行了系统性的回顾,并探索其理论意涵。研究发现:(1)研究取向和方法有所偏倾,以规范研究和定性研究为主。(2)政府创新定义相对模糊,在行动类型上偏重风险性小的渐进型创新。(3)注重市级创新,不大重视基层创新,也相对忽视省级、国家级和跨国的重大创新。(4)政策领域较为单一,忽视了跨领域的变革力量。(5)理论探索虽有一些成果,但对治理变革的理论缺乏贡献。基于此,论文提出,未来中国政府创新研究的深化,除了在取向和方法上发展多样性之外,还应引入创新经济学中“创造性破坏”思想和治理理论前沿的协作/互动治理视角,进一步挖掘和归纳中国实践对公共治理变革的意涵,讲好政府创新的中国故事,为国际学界业已出现的“协作性政府创新”理论的拓展做出应有的贡献。
Government and policy innovations are not only practical issues of China’s economic reform in the new era,but also a major theoretical issue in public management. This article systematically reviews the literature of Chinese government innovation and its theoretical implications. These studies are analyzed to discover research themes,the definitions,levels and types of innovation,theories,etc.After analyzing 584 Chinese-and English-language articles published between 1990 and 2021,we found:(1) research orientation and methods are partially biased or dominated by normative and qualitative research;(2) the definition of government innovation is vague,and the type of actions focus on incremental innovation with less risk;(3) the current research focuses on municipal-level innovation,does not pay much attention to grass-roots innovation,and ignores substantial innovations at the provincial,national,and transnational levels;(4) the policy fields are relatively limited,and the transformative power from interdisciplinary areas usually goes unnoticed;(5) theoretical exploration has achieved progress,but it has not contributed to the theory of governance reform. In the future,scholars should deepen government innovation research in China. In addition to the development of diversification in orientation and method,it should introduce “creative destruction” from innovation economics and the perspective of collaborative-interactive governance from governance theory.Furthermore,we should expand the “collaborative innovation” theory and summarize the implications of Chinese practice for public governance reform, to enshrine more insight in the field of Chinese government innovation.
