改革开放以来农民政治参与的发展与展望

Development and Prospect of the Political Participation of Farmers Since the Reform and Opening Up

农民政治参与程度是中国农村政治文明的重要表现之一。十一届三中全会以来,农民以前所未有的热情关注和参与社会政治事务。这种关注和参与呈现出由小及大,由近及远,由表及里的态势。其不仅对基层政权建设产生了深刻影响,而且对国家的"三农"政策和政治文明建设也产生了重大影响。但农民政治参与仍然存在着许多不足和缺陷。因此,应当依据农村政治经济文化条件,完善村民自治,加强农民政治参与的法治建设,发展农村教育事业,规范基层政府行为,加快新闻立法步伐等,只有这样,才能有助于农民政治参与的经常化、规范化、制度化,才能促进我国民主政治的整体发展。

The political participation of farmers is important for the rural political civilization. The peasants have concerned and participated the political affairs since from the Third Plenary Session, which not only have had a profound impact on the construction of grass-roots power but also the policy of farmer, agriculture and rural, even overall national political civilization. However, the political participation of farmers is on the primary stage with some shortcomings and inadequacies. We should improve self-governance amoung villagers, build up a legal system concerning political participation of farmers, develop the rural education, standardize the govern-ment＇s behaviors and set up the legislation of press.
