我国公民社会发展与服务型政府建设——治理理论视角

Development of Civil Society and Construction of Service-Oriented Government in China——A Governance Theoretical Perspective

我国社会正由传统的计划经济向现代市场经济转换,发展公民社会,建设服务型政府是这一转换的必然要求。公民社会既主张多元特殊利益、个人权利和自由,又赞同公共利益和公共精神,既主张公民社会平衡、制约国家权力,又赞同与国家密切合作,赋予政府权威以必要的合理性与合法性。建设服务型政府的实践催生了公民社会组织的发育,公民社会的成长推动了服务型政府的建设。

Our society is undergoing a transition from traditional planned economy to modern market economy, which inevitably calls for development of civil society and the construction of service-oriented government. Civil society promotes diversified multi-special benefits, personal right and freedom and also endorses public interest and public spirit. It has been a balance and restriction to state power, and also has been cooperating with state to help government authority behave in ways which are in conformity with law. Practice of service-oriented government construction hastens the development of civil society organization and the development of civil society promotes the construction of service-oriented govern- ment in turn.
