Budgeting for Accountability: A Comparative Study of Budget Reforms in the United States during the Progressive Era and in Contemporary China

Budgeting is an important mechanism for ensuring public accountability. How do budget reforms in the United States during the Progressive Era compare to those in contemporary China? Are administrative and legislative budget controls essential to an effective, efficient government? Though the two countries differ in many respects, significant parallels between their budget reforms are evident. In the United States, electoral accountability alone does not guarantee overall government accountability if proper budgetary institutions are absent. China's recent budget reform reveals that it is possible to develop accountability, absent open elections, but with limitations and constraints. Lessons on budgeting and accountability for other developing and transitional countries are drawn from this comparative study.

完善经济发展方式转变的动力问题研究

推动经济发展的动力是否具有可持续性是经济发展方式能否转变的关键.转变经济发展方式的动力有宏观、中观和微观三重.我国经济发展在宏观动力方面存在严重依赖投资而最终消费需求不足的问题,在中观动力方面存在过度依赖第二产业而三产发育不足的问题,在微观动力方面存在高度依赖投资的问题,同时政府行政开支膨胀等也严重制约了经济发展方式的转变.所以,完善经济发展方式转变的动力必须三管齐下,宏观方面扩大消费需求;中观方面提升制造业核心竞争力,加快发展服务业;微观方面深化市场化改革、提升自主创新能力、大力培育人力资本、实施管理创新;同时要更加强调推进政府领域的改革.

Do Political Similarities Facilitate Interlocal Collaboration?

This research examines the extent to which political similarities—that is, homophily between political actors at the local level—affect patterns of interorganizational collaboration in an emergency response situation. While the field of emergency management has focused on implementation‐oriented arrangements among key stakeholders, few studies have systemically investigated the creation and development of interorganizational collaborations led by political actors, especially following catastrophic events. The analysis reveals that a dyadic tie with political homophily boosts local responders’ ties with other agencies during emergencies. Findings indicate that political solidarity, formulated by chief elected officials of municipalities and council members, can broaden the scope of interorganizational collaboration by mitigating institutional collective action problems at the local level. This research presents a critical recommendation for emergency managers that interlocal collaboration for timely response to a disaster is attributable to political similarities that facilitate frequent interlocal interactions through formal and/or informal agreements.
