A Study On The Opportunism Behavior Of Local Government In China

The behavior choice of local government in China will have a real and important influence on the development of China's economy,politics and society.In the situation of Chinese political practice,local government opportunism behavior is a common phenomenon.The local government opportunism behavior mainly refers to the profit behavior of the local government in uncertain way,local government opportunism,local government autonomy,local government corruption,and local government innovation are related and differentiated,as a whole,local government autonomy is a neutral concept,local government corruption is a very negative concept,local government innovation is a very positive concept,and local government opportunism is a "weak neutral" concept between the neutral and extremely negative.According to the triple scenes faced by local government in China,the interaction between the local government and the supervisor or the central government in the perspective of central-local governments relationship,the interaction between local government and local government in the perspective of horizontal intergovernmental relationship and the interaction between government and social people in the perspective of state-society relationship,the opportunism behavior of local government can be classified into three categories,namely,policy enforcement opportunism,competition opportunism,safeguard stability opportunism;Policy enforcement opportunism behavior mainly means the local government implementing the central government's policy in uncertain manner,or the local government's flexible,opportunistic,unpredictable behavior in the implementation of the central government's policy;The local government competition opportunism mainly manifests as the Chinese local "industry convergence" or "repeated construction"phenomenon and the local protectionism;safeguard stability opportunism is mainly embodied in the local Government's determination of the stability boundary and the technology choice which is highly opportunistic.The creation of opportunism behavior in Chinese local government can be explained from multiple dimensions,The existence of multiple entrust-agent relationship and the local government acting as "agent" side,in the situation of asymmetric information or power,the local government are likely to take opportunistic actions;the expansion of behavioral space and autonomy creates background conditions for the opportunism behavior of local government in China;the design of the examination content and hooking the results of the examination with political promotion,greatly induced the Chinese local government opportunism behavior;The normalization of policy experiment and the"fault tolerant mechanism" putting forward new action scenes for local governments,and also catalyzing the formation of local government opportunism behavior to some extent.From the point of behavior effect,dispelling the public credibility of local government,lowering the validity of top-down design and the emergence of opportunism social culture are the main negative effects of Chinese local government opportunism behavior,to some extent to help the emergence of China's economic growth miracle,can be regarded as a manifestation of the positive effect of opportunism behavior of local government.Facing the new normalization of economy and modernization of national governance,it is necessary to govern the opportunism behavior of local government in China,given that the boundaries between opportunism and autonomy are very difficult to identify,how to give Chinese local government with autonomy,flexibility,innovation space without causing the emergence of opportunism,is a puzzle that China will always has to face and answer when design both the whole national governance system and local governance system,the organizational system and political power which regards the CPC as the leading core should have sufficient wisdom to cope with this dilemma,but no matter what kind of designs are taken,What should be highlighted is the respect for rules.
