合法性追求、谋利性倾向与地方政府环境治理的策略性运作.

For a long time, local governments have caused controversy for their failure in environmental governance. In this regard, the academic community has made theoretical explanations from various perspectives such as fiscal federalism, local government corporatization, decentralization and authoritarianism, and political promotion championships. However, these theories are limited by the 'political market imagination' of the state; they fail to fully and accurately understand the environmental governance behaviors of local governments, and also fail to give a satisfactory answer to the coexistence of selective implementation and innovative governance of local governments. Based on the analysis framework of 'value concept-system structure-behavior choice', this paper explains the dual action logic of legitimacy pursuit and profit-seeking tendency of local governments' environmental governance from three aspects; the construction of ecological state strategy under the pursuit of legitimacy, the conflict of local governments' attribute under super large governance and the balance of local governments' decision-making under the distribution of attention. It is found that under the background of the central governments' continuous strengthening of ecological civilization construction and the growing public environmental demand, local governments will respond to the environmental policy of the central government and the public's environmental demand in an open area for the sake of legitimacy, but under the influence of profit-seeking tendency, local governments will try their best to promote their own interests, and at an implicit level, they will take strategic operations, such as textual-style environmental governance, deformed-style environmental governance, campaign-style environmental governance, and prototype-style environmental governance, to resolve the internal conflicts and tensions between the legitimacy pursuit and the profit-seeking tendency. In the face of the strategic operations of local government environmental governance, it is necessary to further promote the compilation of environmental codes and the environmental rights into the Constitution, cultivate the 'people-centered' sense of responsibility and the moral emotion of treating nature well, scientifically divide the administrative power among different levels of government and design a scientific performance evaluation mechanism, as well as strengthening the motivation of local governments in the pursuit of legitimacy by strengthening environmental supervision and natural resources assets accountability, so as to encourage local governments to fulfill the responsibility of environmental governance with sound environmental law enforcement, healthy environmental morality and reasonable allocation of financial relationship between resources and responsibilities.
