论建设社会主义法治国家的核心和关键

On the Core and Key of Constructing Socialist Ruled-by-law Country

党领导人民依法治国是人类法治史上一种全新的法治国家模式。中国共产党具有双重政党功能,既是执政党,又是领导党,因此,中国共产党治国理政不仅要依法执政、依法行政,更重要的是要实现依法领导,因此使党对国家和社会的领导法治化是建设社会主义法治国家的核心问题,中国共产党应在理论上明确提出"党依法领导"的理念和"逐步实现党的领导法治化"的要求。由于中国共产党的领导核心地位,在当代中国,建设社会主义法治国家,推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的关键和突破口在于改革和完善党的领导制度与领导方式,中共十八届四中全会已经形成了比较清晰的关于党的领导制度与领导方式改革的思路,与中共十三大提出的改革思路是基本一致的,体现了法治国家建设和现代国家治理的基本要求。

The Chinese Communist Party has dual political functions as ruling party and leading party,so it should not only govern by law,perform administrative duties according to law,but also lead the country and society according to law,which is the core of building a socialist country ruled by law. In theory,the party must explicitly put forward the concept of 'the leading according to law'and the requirement of 'gradually realizing the legalization of the leadership'. In the contemporary China,the key to the construction of a socialist country ruled by law and the modernization of the national governance system and capacity lies in the reform and improvement of the Party's leadership system and style due to its central political position. A clear thinking on the reform of the Party's leadership system and style has already formed in the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18 th CCP Central Committee,which is basically in line with the reform ideas put forward at the 13 th CCP National Congress,and embodies the basic requirements of the construction of ruled- by- law country and the governance of modern country.
