“司长策国论”:中国政策决策过程的科层结构与政策专家参与"Decisions by Bureau Chiefs": Hierarchical Structure of the Chinese Decision-making Process and Participation by Policy Experts
朱旭峰
摘要(Abstract):
本文提出了"司长策国论"用以概括中国政策决策过程的科层结构特征。"司长策国论"指出,在中国,并不是官员的行政级别越高,其动员决策资源的能力就越强,相反,动员决策资源能力最强的是那些处于中国政府科层结构中的司局级的官员。由于"司长策国"现象的存在,中国思想库内的政策专家与不同行政级别政府官员的网络关系对思想库实现政策影响力的贡献是不同的,其中司级官员网络对政策专家的帮助最大。本研究调查了来自全国25个省(市、自治区)的301家思想库的情况及其负责人与不同行政级别的政府官员的网络关系情况。从附录中与官方数据的对比分析可以看出,本次调查具有相当高的代表性。

- ③由于“思想库”一词本身是个昵称,每个学者在研究之前,都会对思想库的概念加以阐述,所以,西方学术界对思想库的概念从来没有统一过。如斯通将思想库定义为“致力于研究公共政策问题、独立于政府、政党和利益集团的非营利组织”(Diane Stone,Capturing the Political Imagination:Think Tanks and the Policy Process.London:Frank Cass,1996.p.16)。瑞奇将思想库定义为“产出并主要依靠专家观点获得支持并影响政策过程的独立的、不基于利益的和非营利的组织”(Andrew Rich,Think Tanks,Public Policy,and the Politics of Expertise.New York:Cambridge University Press,2004.p.11)。笔者的观点是,研究中国的思想库不能照搬西方的定义,而要对中国特点进行细致分析。关于中国思想库的概念界定的详细讨论,参见薛澜,朱旭峰.“中国思想库”:含义、分类与研究展望.科学学研究,2006,3:321。

- ①“专家”的概念还有另一种理解,即政府内部掌握专业知识的政策制定者(王锡锌,章永乐,专家、大众与知识的运用——行政规则制定过程中的一个分析框架.中国社会科学,2003,3),也就是“专家治国”中的“专家”。但这一层含义不适用本文。
- ②与此相近的概念是“公共知识分子”(Richard A.Posner,Public Intellectuals:A Study of Decline. Cambridge,Massachusetts:Harvard University Press,2001;谁是公共知识分子.南方人物周刊,2004年第17期).相关概念辨析参见朱旭峰.中国政策精英群体的社会资本:基于结构主义视角的分析.社会学研究,2006,4。

- ①决定一个中文学术期刊是否被列入“中文核心期刊”,是根据该期刊的被索量、被摘量、被引量、它引量、被摘率、影响因子、获国家奖或被国内外重要检索工具收录等7个影响力评价指标的综合评定结果,在国内比较权威,并被广泛采用。所以,我们以“在中文核心期刊上发表的论文数”为指标,既有量的成分,又具有国内认可的影响力的成分(http://localsev.lib.pku.edu.cn/cjc/)。
