互动与融合:国家治理与协商民主的内在逻辑

Interaction and Integration: the Internal Logic of State Governance and Deliberative Democracy

国家治理的本质是协商治理,协商治理的趋向是良政善治。国家治理的旨意与协商民主的内蕴具有紧密的关联性,即利益均衡是国家治理与协商民主一致的目标追求,公平正义是国家治理与协商民主相同的价值取向,主体平等是国家治理与协商民主同一的根本原则,公民精神是国家治理与协商民主共同的理念诉求。推进国家治理现代化需要协商民主提供承接载体,反之,发展协商民主也需要国家治理现代化架设运作平台。即,一方面加强社会主义协商民主建设有利于为国家治理创造稳定的社会环境,有利于提高国家治理过程中公共决策的质量,有利于国家治理过程中公共利益的实现;另一方面,国家治理现代化能够为社会主义协商民主建设疏通协商渠道、拓展操作场域、提供坚强保障。因此,国家治理与协商民主具有逻辑上的内在契合,二者在结构上是一种互动与融合的关系。

On the other hand, modernization of state governance contributes to opening channels for consultation, to expanding operational field, and to providing strong guarantee for the construction of the socialist deliberative democracy.
