The Rule of Law Approach to Government Governance in China

Chinese government governance involves the two dimensions of autonomy and cogovernance.The process of moving from government management to government governance is a synchronous process of moving from government by a legal system to a“rule of law”government.Such governance coincides with the rule of law in terms of fundamental guarantees,governance frameworks,intrinsic values,external forms,goal pursuits and construction paths and lays the foundation for the realization of government governance.The multi-subject structure,multiplicity of rules and regulations,interaction of processes,diversity of modes and complexity of disputes in this form of governance place new demands on the construction of the rule of law.In response to these needs,we should improve the government’s functional orientation and the disposition of its powers by means of statute law;expand the types of administrative bodies and improve the laws on administrative organizations;enrich the sources of law;use consensus rules to improve controlling rules;be guided by interactivity in improving the administrative procedure system;normalize diversified administrative behavior;and establish multiple dispute resolution mechanisms and strengthen right relief.This will highlight the rule of law path taken by government governance.In the course of the integration and interaction of such governance with the rule of law,we will need to coordinate our responses to its latent risks,such as governance pitfalls and the limitations of the rule of law.

The Structure and Operating Mechanisms of Chinese Society with Rule of Law

"Society with rule of law"is a concept strongly marked by the distinctive features of Chinese practice.It refers to the introduction of"rule of law"in the life of society over and above the operating system of public power.Like a country with rule of law and a government with rule of law,a society with rule of law has its own independent sphere,constituting the"one body,two wings"of Chinese rule of law.The concrete context of a country’s ability to mobilize,its existing legal system,the foundation of social governance,the state of social contradictions,etc.,may encourage or limit the construction of a society with rule of law.Such construction should have strongly identifiable target guidelines:it should guide orderly public participation in the governance of society,maintain good order in material and cultural life,calibrate supply and demand for basic public services,and define the proper space for the activities of social organizations.The community level is the main field for the construction of a society with rule of law.We should confront grassroots constraints,focus on the main business of grassroots society,and make full use of the function of grassroots social organizations.At the same time,we should effectively integrate the important roles of government,social organizations,enterprises,lawyers and other players in the construction of a society with rule of law.

Building Communication Capacity for Good Governance： A Multi-leveled Analysis

This paper stresses the role of media and communication in promoting good governance by presenting a multi-leveled analytical approach to issues and cases both nationally and internationally. The study draws policy implications for the Chinese government as regards to integrating building communication capacity into governance agenda. Even though there is a growing attention on implementing communication programs into policies, the study on the role of the media and communication in governance has not been dearly conceptualized. This 15aper analyses the role of media and communication in promoting good governance from the levels of state governments, civil society and the general public, respectively. It argues that strong communication capacity at the governmental level increases governance effectiveness through helping to build consensus in policy-making and promote development policies; strong communication capacity of the civil society expands the development results when the NGOs work together with the mass media to promote their activities and prioritize development goals through media＇s agenda-setting and framing functions; and strong communication capacity strengthens the voice of the public and empower them to hold the government account through the media＇s watch-dog role. The paper concludes that improving communication capacity is essential to achieve good governance for the Chinese government.
