Abstract:

Pairing assistance is a product of contemporary Chinese local practices and an important institutional innovation in the scale governance of the country. By means of “pairing-assistance”, this system innovation has solved to a certain extent the dual dilemmas of the scale governance burden and the non-equilibrium faced by contemporary China in the process of promoting national modernization. The generation and evolution of pairing assistance has gone through three stages: incubation and inception, establishment and expansion, and consolidation and improvement. The ideology of “great unification” and the excellent traditional culture such as “one world one family” have laid the ideological foundation for it. Through the coordination of the state and the orderly guidance of social forces by the Party organization under the unitary system, pairing assistance has built a concentric circle of governance in which the Party and the government share responsibilities. The “administrative contracting system” and the “project system” provide the inherent logic for achieving scale governance through burden transfer and differentiation in specific fields. The goal of building China’s independent knowledge system requires further practical research on pairing assistance, which must be refined in terms of science and chemistry. This will entail completing the transformation of practical discourse into academic discourse and elevating the experiences of Chinese governance to theory.

Key words: pairing assistance, scale governance, non-equilibrium, institutional innovation, scale effect
