全球危机背景下的政府职能重塑

Re-defining of Government Functions Focusing on the Global Crisis

政府作为一种理性的力量应该对社会的感性行为进行约束和规范;政府的天然职能是维护公民基本权利、供给公共物品并提供公共服务,在人类面临全球危机的背景下,应对全球危机、保护全人类共同利益成为世界各国政府的重要职能;全球危机包括资源危机、自然危机、战争危机、人口危机、社会危机诸方面;在全球危机背景下,政府的管理职能不但不能削弱,反而应该增强,政府应通过制定相关法律、法规并设立相应机构加强预防危机、处理危机的职能;必须正确处理政府应对危机的职能同保护公民基本权利职能之间的相互关系;应对全球危机更需要加强各国政府之间的合作,尤其是需要强化联合国的作用。

The government, as a kind of rational force, ought to restrain and standardize emotional behavior of society. The government＇s natural and vital functions are not only protection of fundamental civil rights, supply of public goods and provision of public services, but also response to the global crisis and protection of all human＇s common interests in the background of the global crisis. The global crisis includes resources shortage, natural disasters, wars, population expansion and social incidents, etc. Therefore, the government＇s function of administration must be strengthened instead of being weakened. Firstly, the functions of crisis prevention and management should be reinforced by enacting relevant laws and regulations, and setting up specialized de- partments. Secondly, for the government, the relation between the crisis response and the civil fundamental rights protection should be handled properly. Finally, all governments of the world should cooperate more closely, especially on the platform of the UN, against the global crisis.
