“四议两公开”工作法探源

An Investigation into the Birthplace of the “Four- Meeting and Two- Transparency( 4 + 2) ”Work Practice

"四议两公开"工作法产生于村民自治制度实施和新农村建设的过程中,源于河南省邓州市深化"三级联创"、加强农村基层组织建设的创新实践。因为切入点不同,在"四议两公开"工作法产生问题上存在不同看法和意见,概括起来有四种观点:即燕店村发源地说、组织部发源地说、地方经验总结说和中央发源地说。四种学说实质上是一致的,它们分别从不同侧面揭示了"四议两公开"工作法的深厚基础,具体体现了十八届三中全会通过的《中共中央关于全面深化改革若干重大问题的决定》的精神:坚持党的领导,尊重人民主体地位,发挥群众首创精神,紧紧依靠人民,解放思想,勇于推进理论和实践创新是改革开放成功的重要经验。

The work practice of ＂4 ＋ 2＂, namely four meetings and two transparencies, comes to be known as a result of the initiative taken by the local government of Dengzhou, Henan Province, in implementing villager autonomy and building a new socialist countryside. It is an innovative attempt made by Dengzhou city government in the process of exploring ways of deepening party building at grassroots levels and boosting the power and effectiveness of primaryorganizations in rural areas. However, due to the different ＂entry points＂ scholars choose, there have been many inconsistent views revolving around the birthplace of the ＂4 ＋ 2＂ work approach, which can be summarized into the following four categories in terms of its origin, namely, its originating from Yandian village, from the organizational department, from the condensed experience of the local government, as well as from the central govern- ment respectively. Nevertheless, views regarding its birthplace are essentially the same as they reveal from different aspects the profound popular foundation of the ＂4 ＋ 2＂ approach and embody the spirit of the important decision on ＂major issues concerning comprehensively deepening reforms＂ approved by the Communist Party of China （CPC） Central Committee. In a nutshell, the ＂4 ＋ 2＂ approach reflects such principles as upholding the Party＇ s leadership, respecting the principal role of the people, giving full play to the pioneering spirit of the people, relying firm- ly on the support of the people, emancipating the mind, and advancing both theoretical and practical innovations, all of which are important lessons from the success of China＇ s reform and opening-up endeavors.
