基于政府门户网站视角的中美预算公开信息比较与评价

互联网是政府信息公开的一种主要途径。基于政府门户网站这一公开渠道及网络信息传播特点,可以从专门性、全面性、详细性、动态性、便利性等不同角度,对美国和中国的201 1年度中央(联邦)预算公开信息进行比较。虽然近几年中国在预算公开方面取得了一定进展,但仍处在起步阶段,预算公开信息呈现典型的"碎片化"特征,缺乏制度性保障,与社会期望仍有较大的差距。因此,应以政府门户网站为主要公开渠道,提高中国政府预算公开信息的质量。

Internet is one of the major channels for governments to publicize information.Based on the open channel of government’s window website and the characteristics of network information spreading,this paper makes a comparison between the open budget information of American federal government and that of China’s central government in the year of 2011 from such perspectives of technicality,comprehensiveness,detailedness,dynamicness,and convenience.Although China has achieved certain development in budget opening in recent years,it is still at the initial stage;the open information of budge has the characteristics of typical fragments,lacking the institutional safeguard,and is still far away from the social expectations.Therefore,we should take the governments’ window websites as the major open channels to improve the quality of open budget information of Chinese government.
