权力媒介普遍化的结构条件及其信息不对称问题

当代中国社会管理的一个重要局限就是政治权力的普遍化能力不够。权力普遍化意味着权力可以借助媒介符号在不同处境中面临不同的模式时,坚持相同的意义,并可以得出相同或相似的结论,其结构条件包括：意义框架的普遍化与惩罚期待的普遍化。由于信息不对称,中央政府难以有效监管地方政府,地方政府极易扭曲中央政令与法令,造成社会不稳定。只有法治才能通过具有普遍可能性的司法救济提供信息支持,实现普遍化的惩罚期待,克服信息不对称。但权力在依赖法律结构克服信息不对称的同时,也必须接受其意义框架的制约,为避免这种制约。权力对于法律采取一种欲拒还迎、割裂“合法一非法”二元规则化的工具性策略．致使法律也无法为权力提供功能支持。

On the Structural Conditions for Generalization of Power Media and Problems of Information Asymmetry

A vital limitation of social governance in modern China lies in the insufficient generalization of political power. Generalization of power means that where power encounters different models in different situa- tions, it can by media symbols maintain the same meaning and reach the same or similar conclusion. Its struc- tural conditions include： generalization of meaning framework and generation of punishment expectation. While due to information asymmetry, the central government is difficult in effectively supervising local govern- ments which would easily twist the orders and laws of the central government thus lead to social unsteadiness. Only by rule of law can the judicial remedies of general possibility provide information support, so as to realize generalization of punishment expectation and to overcome information asymmetry. However, relied on the legal structure and in overcoming information asymmetry, power has to accept restrictions from its meaning frame- work. To avoiding such restrictions, power adopts an instrumental strategy of apparently welcoming but effectu- ally refusing and dissevering the dual -regulation of ＂legal/illegal＂, so that even law cannot provide function- al support for power.
