摘　　要： 为了验证政治型政府要比行政型政府更少地引入公民参与策略这一研究假设,论文对美国32个州中居民超过2.5万的91个城市进行了随机问卷调查。研究者要求调查对象识别多达16种的公民参与策略。论文反驳了认为政治型城市的官员比行政型城市的官员使用更多的公民参与策略的传统观点。该研究的完全OLS回归模型(样本量N=91)预测,行政型城市比政治型城市所使用的公民参与策略数目要更多一些,该结果具有边缘统计显著性。第二个OLS回归模型(N=53)显示,当城市人口超过5万时,行政型的城市政府结构和公民参与策略之间的统计稳健性会明显增强。对该发现的一个可能的解释是,这与城市职业经理人和工作人员在强化公民社会的网络和在21世纪美国"递送民主"方面的努力有关。 To test the hypothesis that cities with more administrative forms of government use fewer citizen participation strategies than do municipalities with more political structures,a random survey was conducted of 91 American municipalities in 32 states with populations of over 25 000 residents. Respondents were asked to identify up to 16 citizen participation strategies. This study refutes the conventional wisdom that public officials in political cities use more citizen participation strategies than do public officials in administrative cities. The full OLS regression model (N= 91) predicts with marginal statistical significance that cities with more administrative structures use slightly more citizen participation strategies than do cities with more political structures. A second OLS regression model (N= 53) demonstrates that the robustness of the statistical significance between administrative structures and the number of citizen participation strategies dramatically increases when city population exceeds 50 000. A possible explanation for this finding relates to the contribution that professional managers and staff make in strengthening the fabric of civil society and 'delivering democracy' in 21st century America.
