执政党依法执政能力的概念解析及其意义

Interpretation of the Concept of Capability of a Governing Party to Run the State by Law and its Significance

目前,学术界在对“依法执政能力”概念定义上,存在两点不足。事实上,执政党的“依法执政能力”应该包括两个层面的内容:其一,作为一个整体的“依法执政能力”;其二,把党作为一个由很多先进分子结合而成的先锋队组织,主要是指党的领导干部的“依法执政能力”。执政党依法执政能力关系到执政党执政的合法性,因此具有十分重要的现实意义。

Currently, there are two inadequate definitions about the concept of “ability to run the by law” in the academic circle. In effect, the concept of party in power to run the state by law has two layers of content： The first one refers to the comprehensive capability to run the state by law; the second one refers to ability of the Party leaders to run the state by law because the Party is a vanguard organization made up of many advanced elements. The capability of a ruling party to run the state by law is closely related to the validity of the party in power to run the state, which is of greatly realistic importance.
