| 内容提要 | 本文建立了一个博弈模型来探讨维稳政策的缘起及其社会治理后果。政府精英的权力寻租与滥用会引起民众的利益申诉行为；要在保证权力空间的同时又维持社会稳定，维稳政策就成了一个合意的选择。赎买政策具有的“蚕食效应”可以消解民众的闹访行为，而严厉的维稳考核制度可以消除民众闹访中的“引信效应”，保证赎买策略的成功实施。但部分民众可以利用信息的难证实性以及闹访中具有的“引信效应”给政府施压，要求不合理的收益，而基层政府在严厉的维稳考核压力下会同意这些要求，这会助长社会败德行为。本文的逻辑认为，维稳政策实施中造成的社会不满的持续积累，是维稳陷入“越维稳越不稳，越不稳越要维稳”“维稳怪圈”的重要原因。试图通过制度化的维稳制度安排来寻求社会稳定是困难的。通过分权治理措施如法治分权、财政分权、监督分权以及社会分权，来规范权力运行并限制权力寻租与滥用，消除社会不稳定的基础，才是保证社会长治久安的治本之道。 |
| Abstract | This paper establishes a model to discuss the origin of stability maintenance policies and theirs social consequences. Elites’ abuse of power for rent-seeking will cause people's struggle. In order to keep the space of power and maintain social stability at the same time, policy of stability maintenance has become a desirable option. “Nibble effect” of redemption policy can help elites suppress mass protest, and strict stability appraisal system can eliminate “fuse effect” in collective actions of citizens, which ensure the successful implementation of the policy of redemption. Some people can take advantage of nonverifiability of information and “fuse effect” to put pressure on the government to ask for unreasonable profits. So local governments will agree with these requirements under severe pressure from stability assessment, which contribute to the decline of social moral. Implementation of stability maintenance policies will cause the accumulation of social discontent, and society is caught by “stability paradox” which means “the more severe the policies is, the more unstable society is”. It is impossible to maintenance society stability through institutional arrangements of these policies. Through decentralized governance measures, such as rule of law, fiscal decentralization, supervision and social separation of powers, people can regulate the run of power and elimination of social instability basis and ensure the long-term stability of society. |
