The complexity of cooperative governance and optimization of institutional arrangements in the Greater Mekong Subregion

This study’s focus is on the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). The study’s approach is to find, analyse and solve problems, and the method used is the mixed application of theoretical and empirical analysis based on rich materials and data. The study goal is to design an optimized framework of institutional arrangements through the complexity analysis of intricate causes that have hindered cooperative governance in the GMS. Concretely, we first summarize the changes in the GMS in the past 20 years to understand the development background. Second, we classify marked issues into three aspects: (1) the contradiction between livelihood development and environmental protection, (2) the imbalance between the principle of “common but different” and the guideline of maximizing national interests and (3) the conflict between the support and opposition for hydropower development in the Mekong between upstream and downstream countries. Third, based on an in-depth analysis of the complicated causes of these issues, we design four interactive solutions to optimize institutional arrangements for future cooperative governance: (1) breaking the inner connection of poverty, drugs and crime; (2) promoting the strategic shift from blood transfusions to haematopoiesis in socioeconomic development; (3) establishing mechanisms of interest sharing; and (4) building a diverse and polycentric regional coordination system. Finally, we systematically analyse the complicated relationship among the different solutions and additional challenges for the future.

外部治理机制缺失下制度创新的代价——基于阿里巴巴“合伙人制度”的案例研究

本文以阿里巴巴"合伙人制度"为例,研究双重股权制度这一创新的控制权结构安排在外部治理环境变化时的成本收益权衡。研究发现,"合伙人制度"使阿里管理层获得了相比现金流量权的超额投票权,在登陆美国资本市场前,阿里管理层利用该制度攫取了大量控制权私有收益;登陆美国资本市场后,阿里则因"白皮书事件"受到资本市场严厉惩罚。阿里在美国上市前后的外部治理环境变化直接导致阿里管理层攫取控制权私有收益的成本大大增加。研究表明,在外部治理机制缺失的环境下,"合伙人制度"这一制度创新反而会成为管理层攫取控制权私有收益的工具,严重损害外部投资者利益。

Afforestation and forestry land allocation in northern Vietnam: Analysing the gap between policy intentions and outcomes

Many tropical countries have recently implemented similar forest policies including large-scale afforestation programmes and the devolution of land-use rights. Their success in enhancing livelihoods and contributing to improved environmental services has been widely questioned. This paper discusses the impacts of state afforestation efforts and forestry land allocation on farmers’ land-use decisions in northern Vietnam. It links policy outcomes with factors located beyond the local level by analysing the decision-making process at the policy implementation stage. Our study suggests that the current national afforestation campaign has not successfully involved households in the forestry sector and that forestry land allocation to households has often disrupted existing land-use systems with little impact on afforestation. These discrepancies between policy intentions and outcomes are partly linked to the relative freedom provinces have to interpret and adapt policies during the implementation stage. In this respect, the political and economic context has played a significant role in providing particular financial and bureaucratic incentives to the former State Forest Enterprises and to civil servants. However, we argue that these actors have been allowed or even encouraged to take advantage of these incentives by national policy-makers thanks to: (1) the lack of clarity or the poor adequacy of the policies designed at the central level, and (2) the blurred character of prevailing national discourses promoting afforestation and community-based forest management. We recommend that national policy-makers allow flexibility in policy implementation but develop mechanisms of accountability and control between the provincial and the central authorities.     

中国会计国际化和特色问题的制度经济学分析

降低国际交易的成本对会计国际化具有诱致性,制度的外部性为会计国际化提供了可能,但会计国际化始终存在着国际投资贸易和发达国家的强制。国际化要充分考虑制度结构的约束,关注制度的执行成本和协调成本。在“照顾”某些落后的现实选择中至少应包含激励人们向先进方向努力的机制。作为传统深厚的“后发”国家,我们更应该关注意识形态功能的失灵以及传统意识形态中的负面因素,构建与市场经济相协调的意识形态。文章运用新制度经济学的方法,从制度安排的属性、制度结构以及其中意识形态因素方面讨论中国会计国际化和特色问题,以期对中国未来会计制度的建设有所帮助。
