程序民主:我国社会主义民主建设的路径选择

Procedural Democracy:The Path Choice of China's Socialist Democracy

一般来说,民主包括实质民主和程序民主两个方面,实质民主规定着民主的主体内容,程序民主强调民主的实现形式,程序民主发展的好坏直接影响着实质民主的有效实现。现阶段我国程序民主建设存在程序设计不够完善、程序虚化、程序钝化等问题,且在建设过程中遇到了政治上、经济上、文化上等多方面的挑战,程序民主建设的乏力成为我国社会主义民主建设的"关键性障碍"。发展社会主义民主,必须推进程序民主建设,应该从转变观念、完善制度、深化政治体制改革三方面进一步促进程序民主的发展。

Generally speaking,democracy includes substantive democracy and procedural democracy.The former provides for the main content of democracy,while the latter stresses the realization patterns of democracy.The development of procedural democracy has a direct influence on the effective realization of substantive democracy.Currently in the development of procedural democracy in our country,there exist such problems as the imperfect procedural design,emptiness and passivation of procedure,etc.,and its construction meets the political,economic,and cultural challenges,which becomes ＂the crucial barrier＂ to the construction of our socialist democracy.To develop socialist democracy,we should advance the construction of procedural democracy with regard to changing ideas,improving systems,and deepening the reform of political systems.
