摘要
作为美国地方政府合并的基本方式,市县合并表现出成功率低、大多发生于人口稀少地区、成功案例中合并程度有限等主要特点。产生这些特点的原因在于,州政府对于合并的严格立法、中心城市黑人政治势力的反对以及郊区居民的抵制。市县合并在实践中大多未能完全实现预定目标,产生的影响不大,只是试图解决大都市区诸多问题的一种改革尝试。
As the basic form of the consolidation of local governments in the United States,the city-county consolidation appears characteristics of low success rate,breaking through only in the areas of low population density and limited extent in the successful cases.The factors bring out these characteristics are rigorous state legislations,oppositions from the African-American political groups and the resistance of suburban residents.Practically,city-county consolidation couldn't reach its planned goals and has no much inflences.It just a kind of reform tried to solve series of problems in metropolitan America.
