“法治改革观”及其意义——十八大以来法治思维的重大变化

Concept of Legal System Reform and Its Significance

全面深化改革和推进法治中国建设构成了当今中国两个最鲜明的主题。然而,由于法治与改革具有不同的思维走向,二者在很多方面存在着冲突,要想同时搞好这两项伟大的事业,首先需要处理好的二者之间的关系。只有树立正确的法治改革观,进而才能发挥改革、法治对社会进步的促进功能。目前的中国,不进行改革社会矛盾难以化解,社会转型难以完成;而不推进现代法治建设,改革则可能会失去方向,社会转型会失去目标。法治中国建设事关国家治理体制的完善和治理能力的提升,以及国家的稳定和可持续发展,因而我们不能仅仅把法治当成工具,还需要把现代法治作为目标,用法治精神塑造改革的决策和行为过程,引领改革的伟大事业。法治优先、改革附随是法治改革观的主要内容,也是十八大以来法治思维方式的重大变化。

To Deepen the Comprehensive reform and promote rule of law construction in China make the two bright themes. However, because of the different thinking ways, they also have confilicts in many sides~ and in order to do well in these two great works, we must handle the relationship between them at first. Only setting up the right ＂The rule of law reforming view ＂shall we see the social promoting functions about the reform and rule of law. In to- days China, we couldn＇ t resolve social contradictions and complete social transformation if not reform , and if not promoting the construction of rule of law both the reform would lose way and the social transformation would lose tar- get. The construction of rule of law in China is a matter of national management system perfected and ability promo- ted, and also the country＇s stability and sustainable development. So we should treat the role of law as a goal but not tools, using its spirit to shape the decision-making process and leading the way of the reform. Given rule of law pri- ority to reform is the main content of the rule of law reforming view and also a major change in the way of thinking of rule of law since the 18th CPC National Congress.
