Study On Chinese Local Government Competition Problem And Governance

The competition on modern significance is a general phenomenon in the social life. On one hand, local government is a public department managed in locality; it has the compelling force and the authority commonality and is responsible for exercising the sacred mission protecting common benefit. On another hand, the local government gradually transforms into the behavior body having independent economy benefit and politics benefit: As a public department, the function of the local government lies in providing the public goods and service, and maintaining political stability; As a independent behavior body, the local government takes the branch benefit maximization as its target , the dual role of the local government has decided that there be existing competition to the various resource and element inevitably.China government introduces competitive mechanism during its market-oriented reform, and benefit becomes divided aggravating; the feasible opening to the internal and external world of local government has external competition pressure; the competition of the local government grows rapidly.The local government competition has selected the superior and eliminated the inferior of the system and concept; has promoted the architectural optimization of public goods and the service quality; has improved the government administrative efficiency and level; the economic vitality has been promoted. Competition makes various resources moving, the economy full of vigor, and the advancement of society and has driven economy in a high speed. The competition extends to government system inner, has strengthened the mental consciousness of the government official and has promoted the government functionary ability and the quality. The reformation spirit has accelerated institutional innovation step, encouraged the politics leader. The local government changes into a limited government, the disturbance monopoly of politics authority is beneficial to the market economy. The local government policy becomes more realistic.However, the local government competition brings about the regional protectionism; Low level competition has led to infrastructural facilities duplication of similar projects, the efficiency has been damaged, and the trade cost becomes bigger and bigger. The unfair competition makes a government official can't see beyond one's nose, he puts immediate interests and the individual promotes above everything else. On this account, competition is sacrificing sustainable development long-term interests of the local residents and common benefit. Competition makes the regional development becomes further and further, leading to grave lagging of social development. The economic growth and the social development become inharmonious.Therefore, we need to carry out necessary but rational governing on competition, for example, to build a basic law to norm the relationship between the central government and the local government as soon as possible. We should reinforce the central government authority and capacity for macroeconomic regulation and control. We should push forward decentralization reforming further, and promote various elements reasonably and orderly. We should strengthen the preference "using foot to cast a ballot" showing mechanism, and reform census register institution. We want to boost the local government working together and developing actively too. For instance, we can develop the competing and working together concept between the local government; we can structure the effective inter-regional cooperation harmonizing mechanism, and reinforce legal institutions dynamics and institutional innovation; The local government is going to accomplish actively in environment of competition, to structure the local government responsibility mechanism; to develop the comparative advantage of local government. Not only that, we want to give full scope to nonprofit organization sufficiently.Take the Chinese administration system transforms as the background; this paper is going to have an all-direction system research about the local government competition with the benefit games as a visual angle. We analysis the positive role of the local government competition, and then point out the problem of them .At last, we submit some measure and suggestion to solve the problem...
