摘要

1980年代以來，地方分權的治理模式已成為全球化的浪潮。日本有關地方政府間跨域合作稱之為「廣域行政」，研析日本廣域行政之發展，係以地方分權為主軸，為建構有效能的地方政府，以承接中央在地方化的趨勢下權限之委讓，政府積極推動行政改革，鼓勵廣域行政之推進等措施，其中廣域行政則包括：一、劃定廣域行政圈，推動生活圈共同規劃；二、市町村行政區域合併；三、廣域事務的共同處理等3大面向。如果能夠嘗試建立本土化的地方政府跨域合作體制，不但可以促進國家資源的有效運用，改善地方政府財政危機，更可以協助真正落實地方分權之理念。

Since 1980, regional decentralization has become a global trend. In Japan, cross-boundary cooperation is known as ”Regional Cooperative Administration,” which is centered on regional decentralization. In order to establish an efficient local government that is capable of subsuming further authority from decentralization, Japanese government progressively advocates the reform of administration by upholding the principles of Regional Cooperative Administration.
The three principles of Regional Cooperative Administration are:
1. Delineating the Regional cooperative administration boundaries and conducting living zones designs.
2. Promoting municipal mergers.
3. Establishing joint management of regional administrations.
By establishing a system of cross-boundary cooperation, we would not only be able to more efficiently allocated national resources to advance financial situations of regional governments, but also be able to better carry out the ideal of regional decentralization.
