ABSTRACT

This study investigates the factors that influence collaborative relationships between the central and local governments, drawing on the intergovernmental relations theory. Specifically, we examine the impacts of function allocation, personnel and financial relationships, administrative control, contact frequency, and collaborative attitude on intergovernmental collaboration using a comprehensive approach. To do so, this study utilizes a large volume of survey data on intergovernmental relationships collected by the Korean Institute of Public Administration. We found that collaborative attitude and level of satisfaction on fiscal relationships had positive impacts on intergovernmental collaboration across all levels of government, but the priority each level of government placed on other factors varied. Results and implications are discussed.

摘要

本研究借鉴政府间关系理论，探讨影响中央与地方政府合作关系的因素。具体而言，我们使用综合方法研究了职能分配、人员和财务关系、行政控制、联系频率和协作态度对政府间协作的影响。为此，本研究利用了韩国公共行政学院收集的大量政府间关系调查数据。我们发现，对财政关系的合作态度和满意度对各级政府的政府间合作有积极影响，但各级政府对其他因素的重视程度各不相同。结果和影响进行了讨论。
