多层次治理、网络治理，以及最近的实验性治理，都是理解欧盟民主治理的重要分析框架。然而，这些分析框架带有建立在功能主义根源上的规范性假设，低估了政治动态。这可能导致对民主治理在实践中面临的挑战缺乏了解。本文提出从多重政治理性的视角对民主治理进行分析，以修正这些假设。它分析了《水框架指令》在荷兰的执行情况，作为一个典型的案例研究，展示了政府、工具和审议理性是如何在它引入的每个治理要素中发挥作用的。文章最后讨论了多元政治理性视角对在实践中理解和促进民主治理的意义。
Multi-level governance, network governance, and, more recently, experimentalist governance are important analytical frameworks through which to understand democratic governance in the EU. However, these analytical frameworks carry normative assumptions that build on functionalist roots and undervalue political dynamics. This can result in a lack of understanding of the challenges that democratic governance faces in practice. This article proposes the analysis of democratic governance from the perspective of multiple political rationalities to correct such assumptions. It analyses the implementation of the Water Framework Directive in the Netherlands as a paradigmatic case study by showing how governmental, instrumental, and deliberative rationalities are at work in each of the governance elements that it introduces. The article concludes by discussing the implications of a perspective of multiple political rationalities for the understanding and promotion of democratic governance in practice.
