Characteristics, Motivation and Performance of Social Governance Innovation in China

Abstract

党的十八大以来，中国社会治理创新实践不断涌现。本文基于2012~2018年66个“全国创新社会治理典型案例”，通过多案例文本分析法对社会治理创新实践的分布、主体、动力、内容、方式和绩效进行梳理，得到以下结论：社区治理创新在分布上呈现出“东部强，中西部弱”的格局；在主体上，地市级和区县级的党政机构在创新社会治理过程中发挥了重要作用；在动力上，上级推动和问题驱动是催生社会治理创新的主要动力，其中上级推动是外在因素，问题驱动是内生因素；在内容上主要集中在网络治理、文化治理、依法治理、居民自治、公益治理和依法治理上；在方式上呈现出服务创新、技术创新和组织创新三种形态；在绩效上显示出政府部门、服务对象、参与主体和示范对象等多方主体的共赢。 Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, innovative practices of social governance have emerged.
