公众参与价值的多案例检验——基于民主立方理论的研究

A Multiple Cases Test of the Value of Public Participation: A Study Based on the Theory of Democracy Cube

公众参与是影响公共政策的有生力量,是民主政治的基础。近年来,在扩大公众有序政治参与的政策导向下,政府不断努力创新公众参与的形式与内容,取得了良好的实施效果。基于实现效果,公众参与的价值和意义也普遍获得学界认可。然而,不同情境下的公众参与形式及参与价值仍然模糊不清,需要进一步探讨。根据民主立方理论,结合国内三个典型的民主实践——温岭参与式预算、乐清人民听证制度、顺德公共决策咨询制度,从公正性、认同性和有效性的角度探讨公众参与的价值问题。

Public participation is an effective force to influence public policy and is the foundation of democratic politics.In recent years,under the guidance of the policy orientation to expand the public’s orderly political participation,the government has achieved good implementative effect in making continuous efforts to innovate the forms and contents of public participation.On the basis of such an implementative effect,the value and significance of public participation has been also generally accepted by academia.However,the forms and values of public participation in different situations are still ambiguous,which needs further discussion.According to the theory of democracy cube,combined with three typical democratic practices in China--participatory budget in Wenling,people's hearing system in Yueqing,and public decision-making consultation system in Shunde,the problem of the value of public participation would be discussed from the perspective of justice,identity mativeness,and effectiveness.
