Evolution Analysis of Inter-ministerial Cooperation Based on Energy-saving and Emission-reduction Policies

Abstract

Abstract:

Cross-sectoral collaboration within the government is one of the core contents of collaborative governance. Analyzing the inter-ministerial cooperation relationship of energy-saving and emission reduction policy makers is a good way to explore the relationship of game and coordination between the departments. In this paper, we collect 1493 energy-saving and emission-reduction policies issued by the central ministries and commissions from 1978 to 2016 firstly, and then we analyze the distinction and contact among departments in the choice of policy measures based on the policy text. After this, we use the seven State Council institutional reforms as a time node to study the inter-ministerial relationship by social network analysis. At the same time, we put forward the cooperation network between the energy-saving and emission-reduction policy makers at various stages, present the departmental cooperation network through the visualization technology, and discuss the cooperation phenomenon of the policy measures selection and the internal causes of the game and cooperation. The research shows that:(1) The characteristics of the department, the policy objectives and the department's position in the inter-ministerial cooperation are the core factors influencing the choice of the policies. The characteristics of the department and the position of each department in the inter-ministerial cooperation determine the scope of the choice of policy measures, and the policy objectives determine departments' specific choice of policy measures; (2) The inter-ministerial co-operation between energy-saving and emission-reduction policy makers is more and more close, and a joint policy-making network consisting mainly of three departments:National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Environmental Protection and Ministry of Finance, has gradually come into being. Game and coordination between departments runs through the evolution of inter-ministerial cooperation, and the reason behind it is the conflict and coordination between the pursuit of interests and the performance of the duties; (3) The number of cooperation and breadth of cooperation between the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other departments has increased significantly, and the cooperation has gradually evolved into the "axis-spoke" network. This paper also puts forward the relevant suggestions on how to promote the coordination of energy conservation and emission reduction policy makers by breaking the departmental hierarchy and clarifying the responsibility attribution, enhancing the department performance evaluation system and comprehensively improving the department's participation.

Key words: energy-saving and emission-reduction, policy measures, interdepartmental collaboration, cooperative network
