Matching Patterns of Policy Instruments and Their Governance Effectiveness——Based on the experience of China's institutional reform
Efficiency-oriented reform is a crucial aspect of Chinese-style modernization and an epochal proposition for public management.The analysis unit of public management has shifted from public institutions and individual public programs to the government's tools of achieving public goals.Therefore,the rational application of policy instruments has become a significant focus of public management efficiency-oriented reform.This article examines the effectiveness variables and its matching patterns in the application of policy instruments from the evolution of institutional reform policies over a long period of time.It analyzes the causality between the effectiveness variables that have changed over the course of history,aiming to discover general theories that can serve as a reference for current and future reforms of public management effectiveness.The study concludes that institutional reform in China is a long-term and cyclical learning process.The existence and variation of policy instruments reflect the action patterns of the Party and State institutions during different stages of Chinese-style modernization.Policy instruments are embedded in the overall action logic of cyclical institutional reform due to the combined action of situational pressure,subjective thrust,and target gravity mechanisms.The reform process involves a dynamic matching pattern between the attributes of effectiveness variables and the characteristics of policy instruments.Studying the effectiveness of this dynamic matching provides a Chinese approach for the reform of public management effectiveness worldwide.
