摘要

浙江溫嶺的參與式預算改革，具有一定的民主意涵，但在中國現行政治體制下仍是屬於一種有限的改革，並無法達到改變威權政治秩序的效果。然而在一個威權政體下，為何會進行這樣具有民主意涵的改革？本文指出，溫嶺的參與式預算不是為了解決具急迫性的公共治理問題而施行的政策改革，而這項改革之所以得以持續與發展，主要是中央政權認為此利於制約基層政權官員的權力，降低基層國家社會的緊張關係，有助於威權統治的穩定。

＂Participatory budgeting＂ in Wenling, Zhejiang, is a reform which has implications for a limited form of democracy. However, under the current authoritarian political structure, the democratic impact of such a reform can only be limited. But why would such a reform be adopted under an authoritarian regime? What strategies and measures did the local government which implemented this reform adopt? How did the local government control it? How did it benefit from it? And what was the impact of such a reform on the authoritarian rule of the local government? This article intends to answer these questions. The article points out that the reform was not adopted to cope with some urgent governance crisis. The regime allowed it to develop because it was helpful in constraining the power of local government and in easing the tension between the local government and society, which in turn stabilizes authoritarian rule. However, given the unreasonable fiscal structure of the local Chinese government structure, the macro-level political implications of ＂participatory budgeting＂ is still very limited.
