The Chinese Logic of Consultative Governance

当代中国需要实现治理话语从西方到中国的转换,形成中国协商治理话语,探索中国协商治理路径。这深刻地体现在：马克思主义国家观是当代中国协商治理的理论前提,中国传统治理思想及其实践是当代中国协商治理的生存土壤,中国特色社会主义是当代中国协商治理的存在场域,党领导的广大人民群众是当代中国协商治理的必然主体,当代中国协商治理的客体是多层次多样化的存在,通过协商民主实现国家治理是当代中国协商治理的基本形式,实现公共利益、集体利益与个人利益的均衡发展,是当代中国协商治理的基本目标,当代中国协商治理的基本原则是平等、宽容与贵和,当代中国协商治理的评价尺度包括权威、共识、制度与法治。马克思主义国家观指导下,根植于中国优秀政治文化传统,立足于中国特色社会主义理论与实践诉求,具有中国特色的社会主义协商治理构成了当代治理的中国形态。

Contemporary China needs to change from a Western to a Chinese-style governance discourse so as to form and explore a consultative governance discourse with Chinese characteristics. This is profoundly evident in the following： the Marxist philosophy of the state is the theoretical premise of contemporary China＇s consultative governance; traditional Chinese thought on governance and practice are the soil in which contemporary Chinese consultative govemance grows; socialism with Chinese characteristics is the realm in which contemporary Chinese consultative governance exists; the masses under the leadership of the CPC are the necessary subjects of contemporary Chinese consultative governance; and the target of contemporary Chinese consultative governance is a multi-layered and diverse existence. Realization of national governance through consultative democracy is the basic form of contemporary Chinese consultative governance; the balanced development ofpublic, collective and individual interests is the basic objective of contemporary Chinese consultative governance; the basic principles of contemporary Chinese consultative governance are equality, inclusiveness and peace; and the criteria for assessing contemporary Chinese consultative governance are authority, consensus, institutions and the rule of law. Guided by the Marxist view of the state, rooted in the tradition of China＇s fine political culture, and founded on the theoretical and practical claims of socialism with Chinese characteristics, socialist consultative governance with Chinese characteristics constitutes the Chinese form of contemporary governance theory.
