良法是善治之前提。美国《联邦宪法》在国家治理制度层面构建政府间关系协调的法律制度框架,通过法治规范和引领政府间博弈策略行动。多层次法治化协调机制组合可以在政府间关系制度层面上形成一种均衡,促进政府间关系良性发展。本文从总体上梳理美国跨州流域治理中政府间关系协调的法治机制,包括"政府间协议"、"政府间协商"、"政府间调解"、"政府间仲裁"和"政府间诉讼",并分析这五种协调机制的内涵、特点、针对性及其借鉴价值。

The holistic legal institutional arrangements of interstate governmental collaborations include intergov- ernmental negotiation, intergovernmental mediation, intergovernmental litigation, and intergovernmental arbitration. The paper analyzes the features and contents of the legal mechanisms of intergovernmental collaborations.
