近年来学界围绕世界治理指数等治理测量问题展开了激烈争论。本文认为,更加合理的“治理”指数应当:具有理论基础;聚焦特定的组织领域;重点关注结果;国家间比较时控制关键的背景差异。本文把5岁以下儿童死亡率根据国家收入分组进行调整,以此为例示范这种测量路径。对该特定领域中根据国家背景进行治理结果比较的数据表明了国家治理质量的优劣。这个指数也存在问题,但它让我们进一步研究为什么这个领域的治理在某些背景中是有问题的,在另一些背景中则要好一些。
In recent years, the academic circles have heated heated debates around the measurement of governance such as the World Governance Index. This paper argues that a more reasonable “governance” index should be: a theoretical basis; a focus on a particular area of the organization; a focus on outcomes; and a comparison of key contextual differences across countries. This article adjusts the under-five mortality rate to national income groups as an example of such a measurement path. Data on the comparison of governance outcomes in this particular area on a country-by-country basis demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of the quality of governance in the country. There is also a problem with this index, but it allows us to further investigate why governance in this area is problematic in some contexts and better in others.
