论政治与良治的关系——以中美印三国征地问题为例

On the Relationship Between Politics and Good Governance——Based on Land Acquisition in China, the US and India

政治制度本身并没有明确的好与坏之分。评价政治制度的主要标准不是设计和理念,而是其与发展水平和文化传统结合以后所体现出来的治理效率,即是否实现了良治的目标。以经济发展中所必然出现的征地问题为例,中美印三国中,中美两国实现了目标,而印度仍然效率低下,成为困扰经济发展的主要因素之一。这表明,政治制度与国情之间的契合度,既是决定治理效率的主要因素,也是能否实现经济社会发展目标的主要因素。

The political system does not reflect itself as good or bad. The main criteria for evaluating the political system are not the design or concept, but the efficiency of governance achieved on the basis of the integration of the level of development and cultural traditions, that is, whether it has obtained the goal of good governance. Taking land acquisition in China, the US and India as an example, which is inevitable in economic development, only China and the US have achieved their goals while India remains inefficient and that has become one of the major factors plaguing its economy. This shows that the degree of agreement between the pofitical system and the national conditions is not only the main factor determining the efficiency of governance, but also the main factor determining whether the goal of economic and social development could be obtained.
