当代中国民主政治建设的若干思考

Some Thoughts on the Construction of Democracy in Contemporary China

民主的本义在于民意的表达,民主政治的实质在于社会利益关系的协调与均衡。当代中国的民主政治建设既要坚持中国特色社会主义基本政治制度的道路原则,又要顺势而为,适应社会转型与治理的需要建构发展。积极完善民主机制,推进协商民主的广泛、多层、制度化发展,推进中国特色社会主义民主政治的健康发展。

The essence of democracy lies in the expression of public opinion,and the essence of democratic politics lies in the coordination and balance of social interests. The construction of democratic politics in contemporary China should not only adhere to the road principle of the basic political system of socialism with Chinese characteristics,but also follow the trend of the times to adapt to the needs of social transformation and governance. It is necessary to actively improve democratic mechanisms,promote the extensive,multi-tiered and institutionalized development of deliberative democracy,and enhance the sound development of socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics.
