从政党国家到民族国家:政党改革与中国政治现代化

From Party-state to Nation-state:Party Reform and China’s Political Modernization

中国逾30年的改革开放发展到今天,已经处于一个十字路口。真正能够突破瓶径、把中国改革带出十字路口,将中国现代化推向政治领域的纵深地带,必须抓住的关键问题,既不是经济学家力主的产权改革,也不是社会学家尽力渲染的社会管理改革,也不是法学界谈论的司法改革,而是中国的改革有没有希望继续推进,作为执政党的中国共产党具有深度和广度的政党改革。决定性的问题是经济自身的发展不是一个自足的结构,它需要一个相应的现代社会结构、政治体制作为支撑条件。基于此,对于今天的中国而言,一个现代政体的建构和对于政治现代化发挥决定性作用的政党改革,已经成为中国是不是能够避免改革失败,并真正走上现代国家健康发展轨道的决定性条件。

Today＇s China, after 30 years of development since the beginning of reform and opening up, has come to a crossroad. In order to really break the bottleneck problems, to lead China＇s reform beyond the crossroads, and to drive the modernization of China into the profoundness of political sphere, we must address the key issue, which is not the reform of property rights advocated by economists, nor social management reform preached by sociologists, or judicial reform dis- cussed in the legal community, but the Party reform, which determines whether there is hope in China＇s reform and whether Communist Party of China, as a ruling party, is of necessary depth and width. The decisive question is that the develop- ment of economy in its own name is not a self-contained structure. It requires a corresponding structure of modern society and political system as the supporting conditions. In this regard, for today＇s China, the construction of a modern polity and party reform, which exerts decisive role in political modernization, has become the determining condition for whether China is able to avoid failure in reform and whether it can embark on the solid path towards modern state in its development.
