Research On The Selection Of Policy Tools And Optimization Strategies For Pubilic Culturale Services Of Local Gogowernments In China

Cultural rule of law is closely related to the development of cultural undertakings,and building a firm awareness of the rule of law in public cultural services is an important aspect of safeguarding citizens’ basic cultural rights and interests and promoting the development of national cultural undertakings.Since the reform and opening up,the field of public cultural services has undergone a series of institutional reforms and system innovations,with national top-level design continuously strengthened and local legislative practices continuously improved.However,given the challenges of policy implementation resistance,institutional barriers and mechanization of local legislation,local public cultural service policies are likely to become inefficient and ineffective,so local governments need to build a reasonable "policy toolbox" to ensure effective implementation of public cultural service policies.What are the policy tools for local governments’ public cultural services in China?What are the characteristics of policy tool selection and combination? What are the typical strategies for policy tool selection? What are the policy tool optimization paths for reference? What strategies should local governments adopt to optimize the selection of policy tools? Solving these questions is not only related to the institutional reform and system innovation in the field of public cultural services,but also a basic requirement to promote the development of China’s cultural undertakings and the establishment of a close link between local legislation on public cultural services.In view of this,this paper takes policy tools as the research perspective,focuses on the implementation standards of local government public cultural services,and explores the selection and optimization of policy tools for local government public cultural services in China by combining policy tool theory and policy synergy theory.Firstly,we construct an analytical framework of local government public cultural service policy tools based on policy tool theory and analyze the tool elements specifically;secondly,we collect policy texts through online research,complete coding and reliability testing,use cluster analysis to obtain tool selection preference local class groups,summarize tool selection characteristics through statistical analysis,use co-occurrence analysis to visualize tool combination relationships,reveal local government core tools and combination structures,and summarize the current policy tool selection and combination structure.Then,based on the typical strategies,we use case studies to reveal the current situation and weaknesses of policy tool selection of representative local governments under different strategies and explore the path of policy tool optimization.The main research contents and conclusions of this paper are as follows:Construction of analytical framework of public cultural service policy tools for local governments in China: Based on the three principles of scientificity,systematicity and operability,and on the basis of policy tool theory,combined with relevant literature,research needs and public cultural service policy content,the analytical framework of public cultural service policy tools for local governments in China is constructed,including five major categories of policy tools: command-based,incentive-based,capacity building,systemic change-based and exhortation-based The framework includes five major categories of policy tools: command,incentive,capacity building,systemic change,and persuasion,and 21 subcategories of policy tools with specific analysis of their connotations to provide framework support for subsequent research.Analysis of the selection and combination of local government public cultural service policy tools: The content analysis and tool coding of local government public cultural service standard texts were carried out,and clustering analysis was used to obtain city groups with different tool selection preferences and to analyze the overall distribution and internal selection characteristics of policy tools.At the same time,co-occurrence analysis was used to visualize the policy tool combination relationship within each category group,revealing the core tools and combination structure of local governments.Local government public cultural service policy tools in China balance the use of multiple tools,but at the overall level of tool selection,command and capacity building tools are used too frequently,incentive and exhortation tools are used to a limited extent,and there is a serious shortage of systemic change tools,and the proportion of each sub-category of tools used within the five major types of policy tools varies.In terms of the combination characteristics of policy tools,there are similarities and differences in the core tool preferences and tool combination structures of different types of local governments.Typical types of policy tool selection for local government public cultural services in China: Based on the selection and combination characteristics of policy tools of each local government category group,we summarize the policy tool selection preferences,advantageous tool combinations and application areas of each local government category group,and further summarize the typical strategy types of policy tool selection for local government public cultural services in China: resource management type,process empowerment type and service efficiency type,and these three types These three types can be used as a reference for local governments’ policy toolbox for standardization of public cultural services.Policy tool optimization paths for different types of local governments: identify representative local government cases based on typical strategies,analyze the current situation and weaknesses of their public cultural service policy tool selection,and summarize policy tool optimization experiences.The policy tool optimization paths for resource management local governments include: basic tool support,environmental tool structure,regional tool development,guarantee tool support,strength tool structure,innovation tool development,and "flexible" tool structure.The policy tool optimization path for process-enabled local governments includes:governance tool support,collaborative tool construction,security tool support,and innovation tool development.The optimization path of policy tools for local governments with enhanced services includes: strength tool structure,value tool development,guarantee tool support,and development tool structure.Policy tool optimization strategy for local government public cultural services in China: Based on the current situation of selecting policy tools for local government public cultural services in China,we propose corresponding optimization suggestions from four perspectives of "balance,adaptation,synergy and development".Balance:Rational allocation of policy tools and optimization of tool layout.This includes following the characteristics of tools,improving the structure of tools,and taking into account local differences.Adaptation: to cultivate the craftsmanship of tool selection and highlight local characteristics.This includes basing on local development strategies,responding to the cultural needs of the masses,and combining with local characteristics and culture,etc.Synergy: innovate the structure of tool combination to realize diversified development.This includes attaching importance to the multi-dimensional attributes of tools,enriching the form of tool combinations,and considering tool-related subjects.Development: broaden the use of tools and strengthen the dynamic combination.This includes creating a favorable institutional environment,expanding the scope of tool application,and increasing the number of "flexible" tools,etc.This paper introduces policy tool theory,focuses on the latest round of local governments’ basic public cultural service implementation standards,and combines qualitative and quantitative analysis methods to explore policy tool selection and optimization strategies for local governments’ public cultural services in China,which can provide reference for local governments to formulate policies or optimize policy implementation effects according to local conditions in implementation.
