摘　　要：地方政府管理界域变动是美国常见的实践现象,也是理论研究长青话题。其中政府合并(市县合并)又是地方政府管理界域变动的重头戏和政府间关系研究的热门议题。论文以"政府合并与地方居民之间关系"为主线,从政府合并的动机、合并过程以及合并绩效三个角度梳理了美国市县合并的相关研究文献,分析了研究者们在这三个议题上的观念分歧以及共识,并指出了现有研究的问题。文末提出市县政府合并中地方居民与地方政府或州政府的权力分配应该成为建构政府合并理论的始发点。The change of jurisdictional boundaries of local governments is a common,practical phenomenon in the United States,and is also an evergreen topic in theoretical studies. Consolidated government( City- County Consolidation) is also a hot topic when changing the jurisdictional boundaries of local governments,as well as studying the relationship between governments. From the perspective of motivation, process and performance of governmental consolidation, this paper has excavated the literature related to the relationships between consolidated governments and local residents. Based on the literature, this paper analyses the divergence and common view of different scholars on these three issues and points out the problems of present studies. At the end of this paper,it suggests that the distribution of power between local residents and local governments/state governments in City- County Consolidation should be the starting point of constructing a theory of governmental consolidation.
