在实践领域与学术领域,政府购买公共服务都得到广泛的关注。但鲜有学者对其进行系统性研究,为填补这一空缺,通过综合和拓展已有的概念框架和研究发现,并结合实践经验构建出一个关于政府购买公共服务的整合性理论框架。该框架包括外部环境、驱动力、政府购买公共服务制度、影响效果、政策调整等多个维度,其中政府购买公共服务制度是理论框架的核心,包含政府购买公共服务机制及具体行动两个方面,政府购买公共服务机制是政府、社会力量、公民三者良性互动构成。该框架可以为政府购买公共服务、公共服务外包、政府与社会资本合作等问题研究提供一个概念化图谱。
Government purchase of service draws attentions from practice and research in public administration. However,few scholars study it systematically. In order to fill in this gap, this article synthesizes and extends the existing conceptual frameworks, research findings,and practice-based knowledge into an integrative framework for public service outsourcing. The framework specifies s set of nested dimensions that encompass external context,drivers,purchase-of-service regime,outsourcing impacts and adaptions across the systems. The purchase-of-service regime consists of its dynamics and actions. The active interaction between government,social organization and the public compose the purchase-of-service dynamics. This framework provides a conceptual map fro exploring the questions concerning about purchase-of-service,outsourcing, contracting out, and public private partnerships.
