“后现代”公共行政话语下的公民参与问题研究

The Research on Citizen Participation Based on the Theory of“Post-modern” Public Administration Discourse

公民参与被看作是改善政府治理效果和提升公共服务水平的新举措。虽然参与式民主在很长的时间里都不是民主理论研究的主要领域,但随着"后现代"社会的来临,政府治理更加强调对话与服务,而不是单纯的回应和管理,以通往"后现代"公共行政。公共行政话语理论是"后现代"公共行政理论的一个重要分支,它将公共行政理论看作是一种"语言",强调"想象"和"直觉"的重要性,为公民参与研究提供了理论基础和新的研究路径。因此,在"后现代"公共行政话语下对公民参与问题进行研究,有助于我们更深入了解公民参与的内涵和实现方式,从而走向民主化的公民参与。

Citizen participation is seen as the new way to improve governance and enhance the level of public services.Al though participatory democracy is not the main area of democratic theory research in a very long time,with the coming of ＂post-modern＂ society,governance emphasizes more on conversation and services rather than simply response and manage ment,which leads to the ＂post-modern＂ public administration.Public administration discourse theory is an important branch of ＂post-modern＂ public administration theory,which treat public administration theory as a ＂language＂,stress ing the importance of ＂imagination＂ and ＂intuition＂,providing a theoretical basis and a new research path for the study of citizen participation.Therefore,the research of the citizen participation which base on the discourse of＂post-modern＂pub lic administration will contribute to a better understanding of the meaning of citizen participation,implementation,and mov ing toward to the democratization participation.
