公共领域建构中的公民参与机制研究——基于公共服务型政府职能转变的视角

A Study on the Mechanism for Citizen Participation in the Construction of the Public Sphere: From the Perspective of Function Transformation of a Public Service-Oriented Government

哈贝马斯的公共领域是介于国家和市民社会之间具有批判精神和监督功能的弹性第三空间,在两者之间建构良性互动的公共领域是非常必要的。在中国社会加速转型背景下,通过建构现代公共领域,以此为切入点培育公民精神、提升公民参与能力、健全公民参与机制是实现政治现代化的重要基础。这一过程的实现,既有赖于政府职能的转变,同时也推动了公共服务型政府的建设。通过建立政府管理与公民参与之间的良性互动机制,使政府在公共事务管理中充分发挥善治功能,提升公民参与能力、培育社会中介组织、构建网络公共领域,成为向公共服务型政府转变的现实路径。

Jurge Habermas＇public sphere is the third space of the elasticity with the critical spirit and the supervision function between the state and the civil society, between which it is necessary to construct the public sphere with sound interaction. Under the context of the accelerating social transition in China, the important foundation for realizing the political modernization is, with the construction of modem public sphere as a starting point, to develop the civic mind, enhance the citizen＇ s participation capability and perfect the citizen＇ s participation mechanism. The achievement of this process not only depends on the transformation of government func- tions, but also promotes the construction of public service-oriented government. The establishment of optimum interaction mechanism between the government administration and the citizen participation can enable the government to exert the functions of good governance in the public affairs administration while elevating the citizen＇ s participation capability, cultivating the social intermediary organizations and building a network of public sphere, which will be the realistic path for the transformation of the public service-oriented government.
