Abstract: The imperfection of system is responsible for environmental regulatory failure.The dual and decentralized management structure has weakened the execution of environmental regulation;lack of citizen participation and feedback has worsened the situation;and lack of supervision of public property rights arrangement has led to low efficiency in using public resources.To improve environmental regulation,we must strengthen the authority,independence,and coordination of environmental regulation agency,establish a scientific and democracy performance evaluation system,and increase the competitiveness and transparency of state-owned enterprises.

Key words: environmental regulation, governance structure, political performance, property right arrangement
