“两会机制”与中国政党政治发展

"Two Sessions' System" and the Development of Chinese Party Politics

"两会机制"是目前中国政治生活中客观存在的一种民主政治形态,是指在中国共产党的推动、领导下,人大与政协在特殊历史渊源和现实政治需要的基础上所形成的相互联系、相互作用,并在特定领域以一个有机整体的形式发挥作用的过程和方式。这一机制是在中国特色政党政治的特殊性和代议民主制度的普遍性的双重背景下形成的,其实质是中国共产党统一领导下以人大的代议民主为主、政协的协商民主为辅的一种民主政治体制和政治过程。"两会机制"是中国特色政党政治的民主机制创新,是中国共产党领导国家生活的一种依赖机制。

The concept of ＂Two Sessions＇ System＂ originates from the Two Sessions of both national and local level in every spring. It is a kind of democracy shape formed in Chinese politics, which refers to the process and mode that the People＇s Congress and the People＇s Political Consultative Conference cooperate, interact, and perform their function together in some special fields as an integrated system, which was driven and leaded by the party in power and founded on the base of their unique historical origin and practical need. This system came into being in the historical conditions of both the speci-ficity of party politics with Chinese characteristics and the universality of representative democracy. Its essence is a kind of democratic political system and political process, during which the NPC＇ s representative democracy plays the main function and the CPPCC＇s deliberative democracy plays a supporting function with the leadership of CPC. It is an innovation of democratic mechanism in party politics with Chinese characteristics, which has become the dependent system by which the Communist Party of China realizes its government of the state.
