政府預算

前言

自20世紀80年代恢復以來，行政管理學在我國經歷了十多年的摸索和積累期，世紀之交終于呈現出飛躍式發(fā)展的態(tài)勢：行政管理學博士點相繼設立，公共管理獲得一級學科的地位，公共管理專業(yè)碩士學位（MPA）教育開始啟動且發(fā)展迅猛，開設行政管理本科專業(yè)的大專院校達到130家，公共事業(yè)管理本科專業(yè)則突破了300家，加上黨校、行政學院公共管理教研機構的大量設立，說公共管理是2l世紀初我國發(fā)展最迅猛的學科并不夸張。    學科飛躍式發(fā)展的另一重要標志是新領域的開拓和知識的積累及其快速更新。國家自然科學基金委員會對與宏觀管理相關的117種外文期刊進行的文獻計量研究表明：“公共管理理論與方法是1994—2004年間國外關注最多的領域。其中，有關公共管理基本理論與方法的論文數占到了全部論文總量的44.6％?！睂χ袊诳W77種核心期刊的文獻計量學分析的結果顯示，“自1994年至2003年的十年間，關于公共管理基本理論與方法方面的論文增長迅速，從1994年的554篇，上升到2003年的1934篇，增幅達到3倍以上”。但在總量上僅占全部論文總量的4.59％，與國外的同類研究相比呈現出明顯的差距（國家自然科學基金會管理科學部：《宏觀管理與政策學科“十一五”發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略研究報告》）。    系統(tǒng)了解和追蹤國外的新理論和新方法，并在批判的基礎上加以消化和吸收，是學科知識積累和更新的重要環(huán)節(jié)之一。進入21世紀后，我國對西方公共管理著作的翻譯出版結束了零星分散的狀態(tài)，呈現出系統(tǒng)化和細分化同時并進的勢頭。中國人民大學出版社的《公共行政與公共管理經典譯叢》和《公共政策經典譯叢》，華夏出版社的《政治學與行政管理學譯叢》，上海三聯書店的《制度分析與公共政策譯叢》，中國青年出版社的《公共管理譯叢》等，都對學科發(fā)展和政府管理現代化產生了積極的影響。北京大學出版社《公共管理學經典教材原版影印叢書》的出版值得慶賀！    原版書的系列化出版對學科發(fā)展的意義至少有以下方面：（1）有助于研究者外語能力的普遍提高。長期以來，閱讀外文圖書對我國學者來說近乎一種特權，縱有毅力和熱情，但難以承受的價格、少得可憐的存本或繁瑣的借閱程序令人望而卻步。影印原版書無疑有助于克服這一障礙。（2）推動翻譯出版的規(guī)范化和翻譯質量的持續(xù)提高。許多學者談到這樣的經歷：閱讀譯文時怎么也不明白的東西，翻閱原著就清楚了。這固然和不同語言之間的“通約度”有關，也不能否認翻譯質量的參差不齊。在原版書“稀缺”的情況下，翻譯質量的同行評價和監(jiān)督機制會因為“信息不對稱”而失靈，影印原版書在這方面將大有裨益。

內容概要

　　本教材是美國政府實施預算財政以來，關于政府預算的理論和實踐的經典文章的匯集。書中重點討論了四大問題：預算理論發(fā)展的歷史，也即預算改革的思想脈絡；預算與政府內部的關系；作為民主的手段預算是如何發(fā)揮作用的；預算的體系及其管理。每個問題都有詳實的背景介紹。　　本書篇幅宏大，總共43篇文章，堪稱經典與現代的完美結合，它向學生介紹了公共預算理論的歷史和現代的基礎。其中有14篇是本版新增篇目，它們代表了公共預算的發(fā)展趨勢。在本書的附錄部分特別增補了斯坦利·柯林德的《作為第二種語言的聯邦預算》和美國國會預算辦公室的《公共預算的長期展望》，它們是理解公共預算的不可估量的基礎讀本。

章節(jié)摘錄

The Development of Budgeting     and Budget Theory: The Threads of Budget Reform    Budgets are not merely affairs of arithmetic, but in a thousand ways go to the root of pros?perity for individuals, the relation of classes, and the strength of kingdoms.—Gladstone    Budgeting is, and always has been, the single most important decision-making process in any governmental organization. The budget itself is a government's most important reference doc?ument. In their increasingly voluminous and complex formats, budgets simultaneously record policy decision outcomes; cite policy priorities as well as program goals and objectives; delineate government's total service effort; and measure its performance, impact, and overall effectiveness.    The Dimensions of Budgeting    A public budget has four basic dimensions. First, it is a political instrument that allocates scarce public resources among the social and economic needs of a jurisdiction. Second, a bud?get is a managerial or administrative instrument, or both. It specifies the ways and means of providing public programs and services; it establishes the costs or criteria or both by which activities are evaluated for their efficiency and effectiveness. It is the budgeting process that ensures that all the programs and activities of a jurisdiction will be reviewed or evaluated at least once during each year (or cycle). Third, a budget is an economic instrument that directs a nation's, a state's, and even a municipality's economic growth, its investments, and its development. At the national, state, and regional levels, government budgets are primary instruments for evaluating redistribution of income, stimulating economic growth and devel?opment, promoting full employment, combating inflation, and maintaining economic stabil?ity. Fourth, a budget is an accounting (now called simply financial management) instrument that holds government officials responsible for both the expenditures and revenues of the pro?grams with which they have been entrusted and that informs the public of a government's fis?cal integrity and discipline.    Over the past decade, it has become more and more apparent that the interconnections of these dimensions are vital. For example, the premise of the financial management dimension is to hold governments accountable in the aggregate. After all, the basic concept of a budget implies that a ceiling or a spending limitation exists, which literally requires governments to live within their means. Yet, the pervasive and decades-old federal budget deficit might lead one to ask how the very instrument designed to ensure balanced spending and funding deci?sions came to be viewed as the major force in wrecking that balance.    It was not for lack of effort. Since the late 1970s, Congress and six presidents from Nixon to Clinton have waged veritable budget warfare over controlling spending and changing taxes
