中文摘要
近年来，学界日益关注官僚机构的有效性是否以及如何促进发展。究竟什么构成有效的官僚机构，国家能力的构成要素又是什么，这些问题仍存在争议。本文梳理了将当前利用行政数据和实地实验开展的研究，与关于国家能力起源的更广泛讨论相联系的论点。目前大多数研究聚焦于理解官僚运作环境的具体特征。我们将其与官僚体系的讨论联系起来，特别是官僚体系与政治、公民、企业和非政府组织之间的关系。
Abstract
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in whether and how bureaucratic effectiveness contributes to development. Just what makes for an effective bureaucracy and what are the building blocks of state capacity remain subject to debate. This article reviews the arguments connecting contemporary research using administrative data and field experiments to wider discussions of the origins of state capacity. Most current research has focused on understanding specific features of the environment in which bureaucrats operate. We connect this to discussions of bureaucratic systems, specifically the relationship to politics, citizens, firms, and nongovernmental organizations.
