中国政府将对自己庞大的行政体系进行改革。这次的行动代号是“大部制”。中共中央政策研究室副主任郑新立日前说,有关部门正在抓紧研究大部委制,这将成为今年改革的重点。十七大后国务院已经成立专门的联席会议,召集有关人员研讨行政体制改革方案。部门之间的合并是改革的一部分,部委运行机制的变化则是更核心的方面。有关专家说,众多的部级单位,使得很多部长总理都未必熟悉,管理与监督很难。重要的是,由于层级多,司、处长更多,这样长的链条总理根本无法有效控制决策。很多决策都是先由某部处长考虑初步方案,到了总理那里决策往往变成了“纯净水”。相关人士称,大部制改革将按照决策、执行、监督分离的原则确立部委运行机制,这将带来更多变化。经过五次改革后,中国依然有国务院组成的部委28个,还不包括其他直属机构以及诸如西部开发办、东北振兴办、绿化办、老龄办等一百多个中央议事协调机构。而同样的统计数字,英、法等国是18个,美国15个,日本则只设一府12省厅。中国因人口众多情况复杂,目标设为18至21个左右,大部委改革改革重点是合并职能,整合机构,而不是撤销职能精减人员。 The Chinese government will carry out reforms on its huge administrative system. This action code is “majority system ”. Zheng Xinli, deputy director of the Policy Research Office of the CPC Central Committee, said recently that relevant departments are pressing for a study on the ministerial system, which will become the focus of this year’s reform. After the 17th National Congress of the CPC, the State Council has set up a special joint meeting to convene relevant personnel to discuss the reform plan for the administrative system. Merger between departments is part of the reform and changes in the operational mechanism of ministries are more central aspects. Experts said that many ministerial units, many ministers are not necessarily familiar with the Prime Minister, management and supervision is difficult. What is important is that such a long chain prime minister simply can not effectively control decision-making because of the large number of levels, divisions and directors. Many decisions are made first by a director who considers the initial plan, and where the prime minister has often made “pure water” decisions. Officials said that most of the reform will be based on the principles of decision-making, implementation, supervision and separation of the establishment of ministries operating mechanism, which will bring about more changes. After five reforms, China still has 28 ministries and commissions under the State Council. It does not include other direct agencies and more than 100 central coordinating bodies such as the Western Development Office, the Northeast Revitalization Office, the Greening Office and the Aging Office. The same statistics, Britain, France and other countries are 18, the United States 15, Japan, only one government office. Due to the complicated population situation in China, the goal is set at around 18-21. The reform and reform of the major ministries and commissions should focus on the merging of functions and the consolidation of institutions rather than the reduction of functions.
