论当代中国渐进性政治改革的价值及定位

On Value and Definition of Gradual Political Reform in Contemporary China

当代世界政治变革和中国政治改革的路径表明,渐进性政治变革是一条具有普适性意义的改革道路。这种改革,在近三十年来的中国政治改革进程中发挥了重大的作用,显示出了不可忽视的价值:它为中国经济社会各项改革提供了持续的推进动力,为中国社会在巨大的变革中保持了持续的稳定发展,为中国深刻而又快速的社会发展进程建构了持续的可控机制。在改革中,党和政府对原有政治制度基本资产的利用,党和政府使得政治体制在经济市场化的改革中保持较强张力,党和政府容纳并掌控社会变革进程的多变性和自发性的能力,都从性质上决定了中国渐进性政治改革,是一种分割现代性型的政治改革、后现代性的政治变革。认识这种改革定位,对于探索中国未来的政治变革进程探索是非常有意义的。

The route of the contemporary world political reform and the Chinese political reform shows, the gradual political reform is a reform road with universal significance. This reform has played a great role and shown attractive value in Chinese political reform in the past 30 years: it has provided the constant impetus for the various reforms in Chinese society and economy, maintained the constant and stable development in the tremendous reform of the Chinese society, and constructed the constant controllable institution in the deep and rapid social development. In the reform, the Party and the government have made full use of the original assets of political system, made the political system maintain the strong intensity in the economic market, and controlled the plurality and abruption in the social reform. All these determine that the gradual political reform in China is a political reform with split modernity, a political reform of post-modernity. The realization of this definition is of great significance in the future exploration of Chinese political reform.
