摘要
2008年之前,西班牙经济增长持续了十多年,在此背景下,市级政府在很多领域强力制定政策,积极扩张职能。金融危机的爆发使市级政府难以再提供这些服务,2013年,中央政府通过了再集权政策,原因在于中央政府认为地方政府的支出模式不可持续。本文从新制度主义理论视角,分析了市级政府在儿童托管政策中的扩张参与现象以及这些活动对地方政府职能的影响。我们观察到,地方政府通过立法使其行为合法化的领域,在最初的正式分权安排中并未涉及,但其却被市民视为福利而受到高度评价,这是在重新分配任务时无意之间产生的积极效果。然而,地方政府并没有从立法层面解决其自主权的结构性缺失问题,时至今日,只有经济形势满意时,它们才能满足市民的期望。
In the context of more than a decade of economic expansion that ended in 2008,Spanish municipalities were active in expanding their functions through vigorous policy-making in numerous areas.The crisis meant that town halls had difficulty in providing these services and,in 2013,the central government approved a recentralization policy driven by the belief that local governments had brought about unsustainable patterns of expenditure.Using a neo-institutionalist theoretical perspective,this article analyses the phenomena of expansion of municipal involvement in childcare policies and the impact of these processes on the functioning of local governments.We observe,as an unintended positive effect of the reallocation of tasks,that local governments have legitimized themselves through action in fields not initially foreseen in the formal decentralization arrangements,and are highly valued by citizens as welfare providers.However,they have not overcome the structural lack of autonomy in which the legal system places them and,so far,they have been able to meet citizens’expectations only when economic conditions have been favourable.
