摘要

This dissertation offers an analytical perspective on control of the bureaucracy and the changes in governance structure in contemporary China. Specifically, I try to answer the following questions. First, why is bureaucratic noncompliance on the rise during the transition? How might we explain the variation of noncompliance across different issue areas? Second, how has the central leadership tried to reassert control over the bureaucracy? What kind of control mechanisms and monitoring techniques have been adopted and why? Finally, what impacts might this noncompliance issue have on the overall governance structure? In the past decade, Chinese central leaders have made tremendous efforts to improve governance. Is controlling bureaucrats one contributing factor? If so, what is the logic?; My goal in the dissertation is not to paint a complete picture of these events, but to offer a logic that can organize these issues in one succinct and coherent explanatory framework. This logic is built on an organizational perspective that focuses on bureaucrats' incentive. Throughout the dissertation, I argue that the control problem between central leaders and local bureaucrats in Chinese politics can be fruitfully explored in a principal-agent framework. Because of information asymmetry and conflict of interest, central leaders will have trouble in obtaining full compliance from local bureaucrats. But, being rational, they will adopt rules and design institutions that can mitigate these two types of problems. How these rules and institutions enhance local bureaucrats' incentive for compliance is the focus of my analysis. Under this theoretical setup, five hypotheses have been generated regarding bureaucratic noncompliance and its variation, government structure and agents' incentives, the choices of control mechanisms, and institutional redesigning.; I test these hypotheses with a case study of Chinese central leaders' effort to regulate the coal industry in the 1990s. The agency logic in this dissertation contributes to our understanding of institutional rules and governance structure changes during China' state rebuilding process. At a general level, it also shed some light on the issue of power and control.
