论特别行政区制度的宪法地位

On the Constitutional Status of the Special Administrative Region System

特别行政区是国家根据《宪法》第31条和第62条第(十三)项的规定设立的一种新型地方行政区域,特别行政区制度则是国家根据《宪法》确立的对特别行政区实施管理的重要制度。在这一制度下,中央除保留体现国家主权、统一和领土完整所必要的权力外,授予特别行政区高度自治权。作为我国国家管理的制度创新,特别行政区制度是我国宪法框架内地方制度的基本内容,是国家管理制度的重要组成部分,与其他部分尤其是国家结构形式和国家政治体制存在着密切的关系。特别行政区制度充分体现出国家管理的普遍性与特殊性相结合的原则。

Special administrative region( SAR) is a new type of local administrative region established in accordance with the provisions of Article 31 and item 13 of Article 62 of the Constitution of the PRC. The SAR system is an important management system that the state adopts for a special administrative region in accordance with the Constitution. Under this system,the central government reserves the necessary power of sovereignty,national unification,and territorial integrity,and authorizes the special administrative region with a high degree of autonomy. As an innovation of our state management system,the SAR system is a basic content of our state's local system under the frame of constitution. It is also an important component of the state management system,which has a close association with other components,especially with the form of state structure and the state's political system. The SAR system fully reflects the principle of combining the universality and particularity in state management.
