學 院 專 欄 FACULTY COLUMN 對澳門的啟示 制度缺失的研究對澳門與珠三角地區的經濟一 體化以及橫琴的合作開發具有重大啟示。 中央政府鼓勵澳門與珠三角地區經濟一體化的 願望是清晰明確的,但是目前卻缺乏相應的制 度安排,去有效協調發展計劃,解決澳門、珠 海以及廣東其他城市之間存在的分歧。這裡就 存在一個重要的制度缺失。這個缺失如何填 補,由誰去填補,也勢必成為影響該區域未來 發展的關鍵因素。 事實上,由於各級省市地區作為增長、競爭及 爭議源頭的重要性日益加強,中國已經出現了 多層次管治方面的新問題。當缺少相應的制度 安排去仲裁地區間競爭及協調各省市縣鎮合作 時,就會產生制度缺失的問題。國民政府在規 管協調地區間競爭合作方面的能力有限,但是 中層的管治制度又完全不存在。如何填補這個 缺失將成為中國未來幾年的重要課題。 Implications for Macao The study of institutional voids has major implications for Macao’s economic integration into the Pearl River Delta region and the joint development of Hengqin. While the intention of the national government in encouraging Macao’s integration into the Pearl River economy is strong and unequivocal, there is an absence of institutional arrangements that can coordinate development plans and adjudicate differences between Macao, Zhuhai, and other cities in Guangdong. We can detect a major institutional void here; how this void can be !lled and by whom is thus a key issue for the region’s future development. In fact, the increasing importance of sub-national territorial units as the source of growth, competition, and political contention has resulted in new problems about multi-level governance in China. The problem of institutional voids arises when the institutional arrangements needed to arbitrate inter-local competition and coordinate inter-provincial cooperation are in short supply. The national government has limited capacity in regulating or coordinating sub-national contention and cooperation, while institutions of meso-level governance are completely absent. The !lling of this void will soon become a central concern for China in the coming years. 「學院專欄」內容僅代表撰文者個人意見。 The views expressed in the Faculty Column are solely those of the author, and do not necessarily re"ect the views of the umagazine or UM. 歡迎澳大各學院之教職員投稿。 UM Faculty members are all welcome to contribute articles to umagazine. 52 umagazine | issue 07
