摘要(Abstract):
法治政府已经成为中国政府建设的目标之一。部分地区开展的法治政府评估实践对于客观评价地方法治政府建设状况,推动地区法治政府建设起到重要的促进作用。中国政法大学法治政府研究院2013年开展的全国法治政府评估,研发的指标体系以国务院有关法治政府建设的文件为政策依据,涵盖机构职能和组织领导、制度建设和行政决策、行政执法、政府信息公开、监督和问责、社会矛盾化解和行政争议解决等方面,调查方式包括实地调查、问卷调查、网络调查和体验式调查等多种方式,将具有立法权的53个较大市作为评估对象。根据评估结果可见,各地法治政府的基本制度框架已经形成,法治观念和意识有所提高,但是整体尚处于较低水平,尤其是公众满意度较低。规范性文件制定不规范,重大决策民主程度偏低,信息公开需要更好地回应公众需求,政府化解社会矛盾的能力有待提高。

- 9 With reference to the division of the eastern,central and western regions as proposed in the seventh five-year plan on economic and social development which has been approved by the fourth meeting of the sixth session of the National People’s Congress in 1986,the eastern coastal provinces includes Liaoning,Hebei,Beijing,Tianjin,Shandong,Jiangsu,Shanghai,Zhejiang,Fujian,Guangdong,Hainan and Guangxi;the western region includes Shaanxi,Gansu,Qinghai,Ningxia Hui autonomous region,Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region,Tibet autonomous region,Guizhou,Yunnan,Sichuan and Chongqing);the central region includes Heilongjiang,Jilin,Inner Mongolia,Henan,Shanxi,Anhui,Jiangxi,Hunan,Hubei.However,Circular of the State Council on Several Policies and Measures Pertaining to the West Development(GuoFa[2000]no.33)has explicitly pointed out that Western Development also applies to Chongqing,Sichuan,Guizhou,Yunnan province,Tibet autonomous region,Shaanxi province,Gansu province,Ningxia Hui autonomous region,Qinghai province,Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and Inner Mongolia autonomous region,Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region,so the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region and Inner Mongolia autonomous region can be included in the western region.According to this statistical method,eastern region includes 27major cities while central and western regions include 13.
- Owing to several limited conditions,only 100 questionnaires are prepared for each city;thus the research is far from being comprehensive.Yet the respondents are carefully selected so as to ensure the effectiveness of the research.Besides,the overall number of questionnaires exceeds 5300,complementing the small number of questionnaires per city.
- Until April 2013,mainland China has 334 prefecture level divisions,including 287 prefectures,20autonomous prefectures,14 regions and 3 unions.(From Baidu Encyclopedia)
- July 9,2009,Cao Kangtai,the director of Legal Affairs Office of the State Council stated that the Legal Affairs Office was starting the work of examination and approval of“larger city”actively and has preliminarily confirmed the four conditions of“larger city”:1.The scale of the city is quite large;the city’s comprehensive strength is strong and the city has a significant effect on the economic development of the area;2.The law-based administration is at a higher level;the legal institutions are healthy and the legal power can meet the legislative needs;3.The city’s cultural and social environment is better;4.The city has special legislative needs.These conditions show that the law-based administration and a law based government of larger cities are usually at a quite high level.
