建构性政治与中国道路的建构性特征

Constructive Politics and the Constructive Characteristic of the Chinese Path

现代以来存在着消极政治、革命政治和微观政治三种主要政治概念,但这些主要概念已经不足以揭示当代政治的发展趋势,我们可以用建构性政治概念来概括当代政治的基本特征和发展趋势。建构性政治概念强调政治在社会发展中的建构性功能,突出政治的历史使命和担当意识。中国改革开放四十年取得的伟大成就和中国道路的成功,可以看成是建构性政治兴起的标志性事件。中国的改革开放实践将革命政治的主体性精神转化为和平建设时期的强大动力,政治国家以一种渐进的方式积极地推动整个社会的全面发展,承担起了社会跨越式发展引领者和助推器的使命。这是当代中国道路成功的基本政治经验。

Negative politics, revolutionary politics and micro-politics are three main concepts of politics in modern times. These concepts, however, are not enough to disclose the trend of contemporary politics. Based on the reflection of these concepts, the constructive politics can be used to summarize the basic characteristics and developing trend of the contemporary politics. Constructive politics concepts emphasize the constructive function of politics in social development and highlight the historical mission of politics and a sense of responsibility. China＇s great achievements brought about reform and opening up over the past 40 years and the success of Chinese path can be seen as a landmark event in the rise of constructive politics. China＇s reform and opening to the outside world transforms the spirit of the revolutionary political subjectivity into a powerful driving force in the peaceful construction era. The political state actively and progressively promotes the overall development of the whole society, assuming the mission of leading and facilitating leapfrog development of society. This is the basic political experience contemporary Chinese path provides to human political civilization.
