中国的行政国家模式固然不同于西方,然而西方行政国家所面临的合法性认同危机仍值得引起警觉与思考,尤其从中国当前“政府-社会”之间的权力关系观察,其由于同样存在“绩效合法性”的路径依赖问题,社会公众对行政国家合法性认同度也面临着持续下降的危机。走出行政国家由于路径依赖所陷入的权威困境,是目前亟待解决的问题。适逢国家推进建设现代化治理体系,一方面,多元治理结构为单一合法化机制向多元合法化机制转型提供了结构基础;另一方面,治理关系的价值设定将极大地提升权利话语在权力评价体系中的地位与作用。依托这两个方面,重构中国特色的行政国家权力合法性评价的标准与程序,是突破路径依赖、解决政府权威认同危机的关键。 Although China’s administrative state model is different from that of the West, the legitimacy crisis faced by the western administrative countries still deserves to be alarmed and thought-provoking. In particular, from the current power relations between the government and society in China, “The legitimacy of performance ” path dependence, the social public recognition of the legitimacy of the administrative state is also facing a crisis of declining. It is an urgent issue to step out of the predicament of authority in administrative countries due to the path dependence. On the one hand, the multi-governance structure provides a structural basis for the transition from a single legalization mechanism to a diversified legalization mechanism. On the other hand, the value setting of the governance relations will greatly enhance the rights discourse in the power evaluation System status and role. Relying on these two aspects, reconstructing the criteria and procedures for evaluating the legitimacy of administrative power with Chinese characteristics is the key to breaking through the path dependence and resolving the crisis of government authority recognition.
