ABSTRACT

The central government in a highly centralized state, such as China, normally dominates the legitimation, policy-making, and agenda-setting in its key social actions. This study uses a political economy approach to investigate the evolving governance of sustainable tourism development in China over the past three decades. The reciprocities between tourism, economy, and politics were examined through a temporal and horizontal analysis of its general national policy, namely, Five-Year Guideline (FYG) for National Economic and Social Development. Temporal variations of tourism governance were clearly reflected in its FYGs, which correspond closely to the macro-political and economic structures and the mainstream policy of China.

摘要

在相对集中的国家经济体中,国家政府通常在立法、政策决策和主要社会议题设定中占有重要地位,中国也是如此。该文章从政治经济学的视角出发,研究了在可持续发展旅游领域三十年来中国政策治理过程中的演变和发展。通过对国家层面致力于社会经济发展的多个五年规划纲要的时序研究,该文章探讨了旅游,经济和政治三者间的相互作用关系。中国的五年规划纲要和宏观政治环境、经济结构、主流政策密切相关,这其中,时点不同的旅游政策存在着明显的时序波动。
