A Study On The Standardization Of The Relationship Between Cities And Counties In China

The relationship between cities and counties is an important part of inter-governmental relations in China.It is of great significance to adjust and standardize the relationship between cities and counties,to straighten out inter-governmental relations,to change government functions effectively,to construct scientific and rational "government functions system".From the founding of new China to the early 80 s of last century,the Chinese cities and counties between the government are generally "divided" state,that is,by the provincial government jurisdiction cities and rural areas.In the 1980 s,the city management system,which has been implemented in the 1980 s,has become the most important management mode between the municipal and county levels.The effect of this system in different regions and different periods have a greater difference.In recent years,under the guidance of the rule of the city and county,many provinces have carried out the pilot work of the reform of finance and administration in the province and the construction of the "double helix".At the same time,to adjust the administrative system and administrative divisions as the main content of the withdrawal of the county area is also more frequent.These two reforms have brought new changes to the relationship between cities and counties.Reforming the financial management system and the administrative management system is the two main ways to adjust the relationship between cities and counties.Zhejiang has carried out a lot of practice around the provincial government,such as the fiscal reform,the county and the provincial administrative reform.Hainan in the beginning of the province,in accordance with the idea of the city and county divide the implementation of the administrative province of the county,established the provincial-county-township flat level of administrative structure model.Chongqing to adjust the specific practice of the relationship between cities and counties mainly from the municipality directly under the jurisdiction of the county and county counties to expand the two areas to explore the "big city with a large rural" management system and development model.The key to adjusting and optimizing the relationship between cities and counties lies in the simplification of the traditional "divide and cure" or "rule" and realize the standardization of the relationship between cities and counties.The standardization of county-county relations is not only an important part of the adjustment of the relationship between cities and counties,but also a comprehensive adjustment of inter-governmental relations.The "five-level three-column" administrative-level structure model is generally adapted to the needs of standardization,but also the ideal model of administrative level structure reform.To standardize the relationship between cities and counties,we need to clarify the general idea from the point of view of the law,we should construct the government responsibility system,rationally divide the vertical financial responsibility,optimize the administrative level structure,clear the county and county development path,strengthen the power supervision and control and strengthen the county government self The core areas of deepening,but also should do a good job in administrative divisions and government agencies and other areas of reform and other areas of reform work.
