【摘要】：协商民主在中国城乡地区方兴未艾,各级政府都在进行协商民主立法与制度建设。然而,为什么有些地方比其他地方更热衷于推动协商民主的制度化?尽管既有研究对中国协商民主制度及其实践的起因使用了功能主义解释视角,然而少有研究定量检验中国地方政府协商民主制度化的动机问题。本文以听证制度作为城市协商民主制度化的替代指标,基于功能主义理论框架,检验了社会矛盾因素对城市政府制定听证制度的影响。本文使用不同模型和计量方法,结果都一致地表明,社会矛盾对城市政府听证制度的发展有着显著的积极作用,人均公共安全支出、土地征收面积和城市信访人次这些社会矛盾因素都显著提高了城市政府制定的听证文件数量。本文的研究表明,提高政府治理能力,尤其是解决社会矛盾的需要是中国地方协商民主制度化的重要动力之一。
[Abstract]:Deliberative democracy is in the ascendant in China's urban and rural areas, and governments at all levels are engaged in the construction of deliberative democratic legislation and system. Why, however, is there a greater interest in promoting the institutionalization of consultative democracy in some places than elsewhere? Although the existing studies use the perspective of functionalism to explain the causes of China's deliberative democracy and its practice, few studies have quantitatively examined the motivation of the institutionalization of consultative democracy in local governments in China. Based on the theoretical framework of functionalism, this paper tests the influence of social contradictions on the establishment of hearing system by city government. Different models and measurement methods are used in this paper. The results show that social contradictions play a significant and positive role in the development of urban government hearing system. The social contradictions of land expropriation area and the number of letters and visits have significantly increased the number of hearing documents made by the city government. The research of this paper shows that improving the ability of government governance, especially the need of solving social contradictions, is one of the important driving forces for the institutionalization of local consultative democracy in China.
