国家与社会互动关系中的公共利益

Position of the Public Interest in the Mutual Relationship between the State and its Society

传统计划经济体制下 ,片面强调和无限扩大社会国家化程度 ,超出了社会发展的实际空间 ,社会公共利益被等同于国家利益、政府利益、政党利益。国家与社会的高度一体化集中表现在国家对于社会的高度自主性上 ,政府本位利益高于、优于公共利益 ,公共利益缺乏生成的空间 ,寻租现象在较大范围内存在。从一定意义上而言 ,利益主体越是多元化 ,利益分化越是拓展 ,社会越发展 ,人们就越是需要共同的游戏规则 ;人们的共同需要就越是丰富 ;人们越是需要形成共同利益的均衡点。政府作为公共行政组织在国家与社会的互动关系中把握公共利益 ,必须确立公共行政的理念 ;理顺国家与社会的关系 ;将公共利益寓于社会之中。

Under the traditional planned-economy system, society nationalization is given undue emphasis and extended infinitely, which exceeds the limit of social development. Consequently, the public interest of the society is equated with the state interest, and the interest of the government and the political party. The high degree of social autonomy is the concentrated expression of unity of the state and its society. The government interest is placed in preference to the social public interest, which makes the latter lack resultant space. To some extent, the more pluralistic main interest bodies there are and the more developed the society is, the more same game rules are required. As an administration body, the government must hold the essence of the public interest in the mutual relationship between the state and its society. The concept of public administration should be established and the public interest must reside in the society.
