Abstract: vCollaborative governance is a new form of governance formed in response to public crisis. This paper uses text analysis to examine the effects of collaborative governance ability applied by provincial governments on four key mechanisms in the current epidemic response during February 2020: facilitative leadership, open participation path, clear collaborative responsibilities, and transparent collaborative information disclosure. The results show that all 30 provinces are using collaborative governance to fight against the epidemic and restore economy, while differences exist in four mechanisms application and coastal provinces use collaborative governance more generally. Further analysis shows collaborative governance capacity application significantly contributes to the level of economic recovery in the third industry, as it improves the market environment for economic recovery. Our findings suggest that collaborative governance capacity can help the society to respond to public crises effectively and will be a new way of optimizing market environment through government governance. This paper provides an important supplement for the capacity composition and practical effect of government collaborative governance, develops a new government governance content in public crisis response, and also provides a reference for government function transformation in public crisis.

Key words:  , public crisis, collaborative governance, economic recovery

摘要: 协作治理,是应对公共危机形成的一种新的治理形式。本文使用文本分析法考察了2020年2月末各省区市政府在本次疫情应对政策中协作治理能力的四种关键机制:促进式顶层领导、开放式参与路径、明确的协作职责、透明信息披露的运用情形及运用效果。研究结果显示,30个省区市都在运用协作治理机制抗击疫情、恢复经济。四种机制的运用存在差异,整体上沿海地区运用协作治理机制更充分。进一步的分析显示政府协作治理机制的运用显著促进了各省份疫情中第三产业的经济恢复水平,原因在于其改善了省级层面经济恢复的市场环境。本文的研究结论表明,强大的政府协作治理机制有助于社会快速有效应对公共危机,也是优化市场环境的政府治理新途径。本文为政府协作治理的机制构成与实际效果提供了重要补充,在公共危机应对的背景下发展了政府治理的理论内容,为公共危机情境下政府职能转变思路提供了参考。
