Studying On The Systems Of Policy Evaluation For Local Government In China

The research of policy science began in 1980's. Under the guide of policy science theory in west countries, We have been mading progresses in the research of policy process theory on the basis of the policy experience in China. But there are some unbalance in the research of the process of policy ,we have been paying more attention to the research of the policy making and policy implementing instead of the policy evaluation. So there are more space to make research of the policy evaluation in my dissertation.There are there aspects in the research of policy evaluation , such as the pre-evaluation of policy program ; the evaluation of the policy during the implementation and the post-evaluation of the policy implementation . This dissertation will fouse on the evaluation of the performce of policy implementation.The policy evaluation means that evaluates the efficiency and effectivness of policy implementation by the objective standards.So we can make a decision whether the local government policy evaluation will be continued ,be adapted or be stopped and so on .The function of the policy evaluation are that examining the effiency of policy ,deciding the trend of the policy ,confirming the obligation of the policy and optimizing the disposal of the resource.There are some progress in the research of policy evaluation in some local government while we have paid a lot of attention on the policy making and policy implementation .But the problems which including the insufficient theory of evaluation , lacking the law of policy evaluation ,failing the openness of the information during the policy evaluation, have impacted the process of the policy evaluation in local governmet.In order to develop the further function of policy evaluation in the public administration , We should anlysis the reason of the problems of policy evaluation and provide some countmeasures.Therefore,we anlysis the potential reason of problems according to the theory of policy ecology and Neo-institutionalism theory . They affect deeply the process of policy evaluation because there are short of efficient systems as the supervising the policy behavior ,civil severants management and the responsibility of administration.We select the auction policy of the aotomobile cards permission in Shanghai as a case for explaining the reseaons of problems in the policy evaluation .After anlysising the reasons of problems in the policy evaluation, introducing the example of USA and Japan on the policy evaluation so that we can make a conclusion about the intems of the policy evaluation in the two countries.So it is possible to use them for reference to optimize the evaluational systems of policy for local government in China.For the sake of solving the problems in the process of the policy evaluation for local government in China and stimulating the impetus of promotoing the policy evaluation , it is necessary to establish the systems for pushing forward the policy evaluation and propel to construct the evaluational systems of policy for local government in China.There are some contrete countermeasures for perfecting the systems of policy evaluation . First, completeing the systems of law of policy evaluation for regulating the behavior of policy evaluation ;Second, strengthening the constructing of policy networks for improving the system of public participation ;Third ,developing the modern culture, supervising systems of policy evaluation for providing the impetus to the policy evaluation ; Fourth, perfecting the systems of pre-evaluation of policy ,of slecting systems for policy evaluation and of the administrative appeal system for ensuring the policy evaluation for local government;Fifth, improving the management of the results of policy evaluation to guarantee the lasting process of policy evaluation in the future.In brief, in order to develop the process of policy evaluation smoothly , we should strengthen the evaluational systems of policy for local government and optimize the ecological environment of policy evaluation relying on the way of systems setting. On the basis of the policy evaluation, we should improve the capacity of policy evaluation and realize the goal of the evaluational government.
