中国特色社会主义民主政治探析

政治现代化的核心是政治民主化。从对中西方民主基础理念和原则的对比出发,可以看到西方政治民主化的主要理论基础是自由主义与理性主义,原则是体现和追求个性的差异; 相反,中国的民主是建立在人人真正平等基础上的。民主集中制的本质在于追求根本利益一致基础上的“最大公约数”。今天的错误观点之一是以为西方的民主从原则到形式都是具有普遍意义的唯一。中国在民主化发展过程中从自己的历史传统和现实环境特点出发,正在探索出属于自己的道路和模式。

Analysis on socialist democratic politics with Chinese characteristics

The core of political modernization is political democratization. Started from the comparative study on basic concepts and principles of democracy in China and Western countries, it can be seen that the main theoretical foundation of Western political democratization is liberalism and rationalism. Their principles are to reflect and pursue individual differences. On the contrary, Chinese democracy is built on the basis of real equality of everyone. The essence of Democratic-centralism is seeking the “greatest common factor” on the basis of common fundamental interests. One of the wrong views nowadays is to believe that Western democracy is the only one of universal significance from principle to form. China is now exploring the path and mode of its own during the process of democratic development from the historical tradition and the characteristics of current environment of China.
