本书通过建构“适应性治理”的理论框架，实现了运动型治理与游击式治理的理论整合，并推导出与它们同源的“象征性治理”与“文牍式治理”。本书运用定量方法对这四种治理的影响因素进行分析，从而验证了该理论框架；运用质性方法对它们各自形式、过程、利弊等进行了深入分析。这些研究有助于揭示中国地方环境治理的运行过程，亦有助于拓展政府过程，制度分析等经典理论。

By constructing the theoretical framework of "adaptive governance", this book realizes the theoretical integration of sports governance and guerrilla governance, and derives the "symbolic governance" and "documentary governance" that are the same origin as them. This book uses quantitative methods to analyze the influencing factors of these four governance factors, thereby verifying the theoretical framework. Using qualitative methods, in-depth analysis of their respective forms, processes, pros and cons, etc. was carried out. These studies help to reveal the operation process of local environmental governance in China, and also help to expand the classical theories such as government process and institutional analysis.（AI翻译）
