当代中国公民对经济治理方法的支持 (Citizens’ Support for Economic Governance Approaches in Contemporary China)

Abstract

Chinese Abstract: 本研究旨在探讨当代中国普通公民对两种主要经济治理形式的支持情况：即监管型和中央集权型。利用《中国公民对国家的期望调查》，研究认为当前对经济治理形式的支持在政权内部人士和外部人士之间形成了明显的社会分裂。研究表明，无论是内部人士还是外部人士，大众对监管型治理方式普遍支持。然而，对中央集权型治理方式的支持在政权内人士中更加强烈，他们对国内私营企业持怀疑态度。此外，中央集权型治理方式在年龄较大的人群中得到更强的支持，在受教育程度较高的人群中得到较弱的支持。这些发现揭示了关于国家在经济治理中角色的潜在社会分歧。更广泛地说，这些发现也对中国共产党的流行的合法性策略的有效性提出了见解。

English Abstract: This study examines potential variations in everyday Chinese citizens’ support for two prevailing economic governance forms in contemporary China: the regulatory and statist approaches. Leveraging the Chinese Citizens Expectations of the State Survey, it argues that the current support for either forms of economic governance fall within a distinct societal cleavage between regime insiders and outsiders. The study suggests that there is widespread support for a regulatory governance approach across the general public, irrespective of the insider and outsider dualism. However, support for a statist governance approach is much stronger amongst regime insiders, whom exhibit a skepticism of domestic privately owned firms. Furthermore, support for the statist governance approach is stronger amongst older age segments of the population and weaker with the more highly educated. These findings provide insights into potential social divisions over the role of the state in governing the economy. More broadly, the findings speak to the efficacy of popular legitimacy strategies for the Communist Party of China.
