试论社会主义新农村建设的路径选择

党的十六届五中全会提出了“建设社会主义新农村”的重大历史任务。一年多来,关于新农村建设的话题引起了社会各界普遍的关注,学术界展开了广泛的研究和讨论。作者结合其他学者的探讨,就社会主义新农村建设“是什么”“为什么”“干什么”等问题提出了一些粗浅看法:第一,从中国的基本国情、经济条件、经济发展和国际经验来看新农村建设,新农村建设是多重背景下的产物,而从中国这样的农业大国社会环境来看,新农村建设切实可行。第二,新农村建设具有丰富的内涵和鲜明的特征;第三,新农村建设的重大意义在于:一是扩大国内需求的必然要求;二是统筹城乡发展的重要举措;三是构建和谐社会的必要条件。第四,新农村建设的路径选择要注意把握体制性创新是新农村建设之基,优先序选择是新农村建设之端,城镇化建设是新农村建设之路,公共品供给是新农村建设之源。总之,社会主义新农村建设任重道远。
