Organized Cooperation:The Pairing Governance Mechanism with Distinctive Chinese Characteristics
The Communist Party of China(CPC)has a longstanding tradition of addressing imbalances in economic and social development imbalances and failures in governance through a method known as"pairing".This approach can be seen as a pragmatic aspect of"Chinese governance",embodying a form of"organized cooperation"that leverages the strengths of China's socialist system.This paper aims to elucidate the concept of"pairing governance",which is pervasive in Chinese governance practices,signifying the CPC and governments'endeavors to establish cooperative relationships at various levels and in different regions to achieve specific development and governance objectives,facilitated by upward promotion or party leadership.From a theoretical perspective rooted in the"structure-process"framework,inherent developmental imbalances and governance challenges within large countries give rise to a"logic of need"for pairing governance,while the institutional advantages of China's governance system provide a"logic of ability".Drawing on case studies,this study examines three key factors influencing the effectiveness of pairing governance from a process-oriented standpoint:political potential energy guiding its implementation,cooperative benefits derived from it,and personalization factors exerting influence.
