统一战线赋能中国式现代化的“五问”机制及蓄能路径

The“Five Questions”Mechanism and Energy Accumulation Pathways of the United Front for Empowering Chinese Modernization

考察统一战线助力中国式现代化的内在机理,客观上存在一个“全过程人民民主→统一战线→中国式现代化”的链式赋能逻辑。首先,治理是现代社会发展的基石。推进中国式现代化,离不开“选贤任能”“维护民利”“善谋善断”“善治善为”“有序纠偏”五大治理抓手。其次,统一战线作为凝聚人心、汇聚力量的强大法宝,对中国式现代化具有强大的赋能作用。它通过运用“五问”机制,即问贤于民、问需于民、问计于民、问政于民、问效于民,在统一战线领域对推进中国式现代化的五大治理抓手逐一赋能。再次,为了进一步用好“五问”机制,统一战线也需要蓄能或“被赋能”。全过程人民民主通过在统一战线领域践行“五民”工作路径,即民主选举、民主协商、民主决策、民主管理、民主监督,对统一战线的“五问”机制依次赋能。

Examining the intrinsic mechanism by which the united front supports Chinese modernization reveals an objective chain of empowerment logic that goes from“whole-process people’s democracy to the united front,and ultimately to Chinese modernization”.First,governance is the cornerstone of modern social development,and advancing Chinese modernization is inseparable from the five major governance approaches of“selecting capable and virtuous officials”,“safeguarding the interests of the people”,“making wise plans and decisions”,“governing effectively and taking action”,and“correcting deviations in an orderly manner”.Next,the united front serves as a powerful tool for uniting people and gathering strength,playing a significant role in empowering Chinese modernization.By utilizing the“five questions”mechanism,which includes seeking wisdom from the people,understanding their needs,asking for strategies from them,consulting with them on governance,and assessing governance efficiency with them,it empowers each of the five major governance approaches in the field of the united front to advance Chinese modernization.Finally,to further utilize the“five questions”mechanism effectively,the united front must also accumulate energy or be empowered.The whole-process people’s democracy empowers the“five questions”mechanism of the united front in sequence by practicing the“five democracies”work path in the field of the united front,which includes democratic elections,democratic consultations,democratic decision-making,democratic management,and democratic supervision.
