| Administrative law enforcement standards are norms that are repeatedly applied in the process of law enforcement and have de facto binding force on administrative organs. In light of the practical operational logic of administrative law enforcement, administrative law enforcement standards mainly include legal bases, technical standards, work norms, and administrative discretion criteria. In practice, conflicts of law enforcement standards may occur either between departments with identical functions in “adjacent regions” or “relevant regions”, or between different functional departments exercising jurisdiction over “overlapping matters”. Therefore, it is necessary to construct cross-regional and cross-sectoral convergence mechanisms respectively, and advance systematic reforms in the dimensions of organization, legislation, and conduct. The functional orientation of cross-regional convergence of administrative law enforcement standards is to regulate regional conflicts rather than completely eliminate regional competition. In the future, the institutional boundaries of cross-regional convergence should be reasonably defined, and the depth and breadth of convergence should be controlled, that is, cross-regional convergence should be confined to “adjacent regions” or “relevant regions” as stipulated in the Legislation Law of the People's Republic of China, and the legitimacy and rationality of overlapping jurisdiction itself must be respected in cross-regional convergence. |
