自英国地方政府成立以来，人们一直在尝试重组和修改其鲜明的特征，历届改革的预期效果各不相同。在威尔士，根据威廉姆斯委员会关于公共服务治理和提供的报告（2014年），正在提出进一步一轮的地方政府重组。通过借鉴治国之道和规模之道的概念，本文从理论上提供了与威尔士地方政府规模调整相关的“分层”过程中的矛盾。这有助于(i)增进我们对当代改革建议的理解；（ii）制定更严格的状态重新缩放过程的具体规定。
Since the inception of local government in the UK, there have been continuous attempts to reorganise and revise its distinctive characteristics, with successive reforms differing in their intended effects. In Wales, a further round of local government reorganisation is now being proposed following the Williams Commission Report (2014) on Public Service Governance and Delivery. Through drawing on the concepts of statecraft and scalecraft, this paper provides a theoretically informative account of the contradictions of the ‘layering’ process associated with the rescaling of local government in Wales. This helps to (i) enhance our understanding of contemporary proposals for reform; and (ii) develop a tighter specifying of the process of state rescaling.
