企业政治关联现象在大多数国家广泛存在,已成为世界性问题。在制度环境尚不完善的发展中国家或转型经济体中,企业与政府之间所建立的政治关系作为一种非正式制度被视为影响经济发展的重要因素之一。转型期的中国是发展型政府主导社会经济运行的典型国家,制度环境尚处于紧约束状态,政治关系对民营企业乃至宏观经济的影响要比西方成熟市场国家更为深刻,因此,研究中国民营企业的政治关系问题更加具有理论与现实意义。本文在比较国内外学界针对政治关系内涵界定与度量方法观点差异的基础上,从正反两方面的研究线索对相关民营企业建立政治关系的激励要素、传导途径、作用机制以及经济影响的研究文献进行了系统梳理与综合分析,并试图厘清这一领域的研究脉络与理论逻辑,以期引起国内学者对政治关系、非正式制度与民营经济发展路径之间相互影响问题的关注和研究。 The phenomenon of corporate political connections is widespread in most countries and has become a worldwide problem. In developing countries or transitional economies with imperfect institutional environment, the political relations established between enterprises and the government as an informal system are considered as one of the important factors affecting economic development. China in the transitional period is a typical country dominated by the developmental government in the social economy. The institutional environment is still under a tight constraint. The political relations have a more profound impact on private enterprises and even the macroeconomics than the mature western market countries. Therefore, the study on Chinese private enterprises The issue of political relations has more theoretical and practical significance. On the basis of comparing the domestic and foreign academic circles’ viewpoints on the definition of the connotation of the political relations and the measurement methods, this paper studies the motivational elements, the transmission channels, the mechanism of action and the economic impact on the related private enterprises from the positive and negative research clues. It also attempts to clarify the research context and theoretical logic in this field, with a view to arousing domestic scholars’ attention and research on the mutual influence between the political relations, the informal system and the private economy development path.
