The Study Of The Coordination In The Watershed Management System

The selected topic of the paper originates from "the water quality protection management system in the Three Gorges reservoir area and its upstream area", namely the understanding of the practical problems of "watershed management system" and its exploration and analysis theoretically. The paper takes the watershed management system as the research object, the coordination management and institutional design as the principle axis, analyses and discusses them theoretically and practically.The past studies of the management system construction were mostly carried out in the theoretical frame of politics, public management and so on. And they analyzed and discussed mostly from the function division of the government institution. This paper tries to study the construction problem of watershed management system from a more wide vision, the overlapping and fusion of many theories, such as economics, management, public management and so on. Based on the summary of the relevant theory, the paper quotes "coordination economics", proposes the concept and construction system of "coordination and management theory", puts them as the analysis basement, then makes certain description, discussion and research for the two immature theories. Studies and discusses the internal relationship between "institutional design" and "coordination"; proposes conclusions, such as "coordination management is the key problem of the management system", "institutional design is an effective way to realize coordination" and so on.The paper considers that the government is also "economic man" and the government behavior has bounded rationality as the hypothesis premise, internally analyzes the reason of the conflict of government organization from the concept and the nature of the government organization and interest groups, points out that coordination management has important meaning for solving the government conflict, puts forward the internal coordination management problems and solutions, which embodies in "communication and negotiation" and "restrain and encouragement" as "formal rules", "confidence and expectation " and "custom and convention" as "informal rules". However, the realization of coordination management through institutional design should solve the interest conflict problem between the interest groups (in the paper the interest group in the organization is the government department and institution) in the organization, x--inefficiency problem in the organization.Externally, through the analysis on "market failure", "the government failure" and "system failure", the paper points out that "coordination management failure" ultimately lies in "system failure", and institutional design is an effective way to realize coordination management. And, through the analysis on external influences and game equilibrium of watershed coordination management, it points out that coordination is the key to the game, the internal exchange of information, the practice of the formation and external options can work as a mechanism to improve game coordination, which is an effective solution to the external influences of coordination management. Also, it gives the relevant equilibrium model and sets out three concrete system models, namely a most fundamental system about non-coordination—nash equilibrium, a most important system about coordination—sex war equilibrium, about system for building long-term cooperation—rawls equilibrium. It has established the cooperation game modle among the governments. Based on coordination management, this paper studies the internal relationship between institutional design and coordination, and discusses the influence which the coordinated thoughts and coordination culture have on the institutional design from the functional dimension of system and the coordination dimension of management.The theoretical discussion is carried on for solving the problems in the watershed management system of "the water quality protection management system in the Three Gorges reservoir area and its upstream". The paper analyzes the system reason of the water quality protection coordination management in the Three Gorges reservoir area and its upstream area, namely the interest conflict of the government organization embodies the lack of authority in the watershed management, the severe cross of the government department's duties which make the organization produce x—inefficiency, the lack of mechanism during the management operation, difficult realization of coordination management. Based on the analysis, the paper concludes that "the management system of the basin water quality protection must realize unity coordination management". It is not only the objective requirement of water fluidity and water ecosystem integrity, but also the realistic requirement of centralization and decentralization between organizations in the water quality protection management system.Based on the above exploration and argumentation, the paper also proposes exact design plans and policy suggestions for the reconstruction of the water quality protection management system of the Three Gorges.Because the theoretical and practical exploration and analysis are not enough, it becomes further research field for the author afterwards. Theoretical, the relationship among "coordination economics", "the theory of coordination management" and "the theory of institutional design", especially "the theory of coordination management" which the author pays more attention to; practically, the further research for the unity coordination management for the watershed, especially the study on the country's reform of reducing the government institution and executing the big ministries system having profound influence on the watershed management system and so on, which are all the paper's anticipation and expectation.
