新中国成立初期广东省统一战线工作与民主党派地方组织的转变

新中国建立后,中国的政党体制是中国共产党领导的多党合作与政治协商制度,各民主党派承认中共的领导地位,成为参政党。但民主党派广东省地方组织在思想上、组织上等多方面都不适应这一新的角色。中共华南分局统战部将对民主党派的统战工作视为统战的首要工作,积极协助民主党派进行思想建设、组织建设,领导民主党派参加新中国的各项建设。在中共的领导下,民主党派逐步适应了参政党的角色,并成为中共领导地位得以实现的重要因素。     

对提高民主党派参政议政水平的几点认识

参政议政和民主监督,是民主党派履行参政党职能的中心任务。为此,本根据新形势要求,就如何进一步提高民主党派的参政议政水平问题进行了初步探讨。     

尽了点理论责任

<正>作为参政党的一员,一定要积极参政。可是,各个参政党成员的情况不一样,有的适宜参与政治支配、政治管理、政治领导等活动,而我在这方面是弱者。我是从事理论研究的,自1986年秋参加民主党派以后,主要是从理论上为党派、为国家尽点绵薄之力。20多年来我撰写的议政文字至少有100万字。     

中国参政党的理论价值和实践意义

<正>参政党是中国民主党派性质和职能作用的基本定位,是中国多党合作制度中特有的政党类型,也是区别于世界各国政党的一个重要特征。1956年社会主义改造完成后,中国共产党确立了与民主党派"长期共存,互相监督"的基本方针;     

逻辑架构、运作模式与优化路径——对中国民主党派参政资源体系的系统分析

本文运用系统论的分析方法,对当代中国民主党派的参政资源体系进行了综合考量,认为加强民主党派作为参政党的建设,必须优化参政议政资源体系,在坚持中国共产党领导的前提下,积极培育参政人才,完善参政议政的各项法律制度,借鉴西方政治文明中的有益经验。     

构建和谐政党关系要解决的几个问题

构建和谐的政党关系,即执政党与参政党之间的和谐政党关系,核心的问题是坚持不坚持及如何坚持中国共产党的领导,关键的问题是要进一步提高及如何提高民主党派的政党能力,基础的问题是努力营造现代民主政治的文化氛围。     

费孝通“上书紫光阁”

正在中国的政治制度里,民主党派是参政党,民主党派参政的途径,一是中共中央邀请各民主党派领导人举行民主协商或座谈会,交流情况、听取意见和建议;二是在人民代表大会中发挥作用;三是举荐民主党派成员担任各级人民政府领导职务;四是在人民政协中发挥民主党派的作用。其实除上述四条途径外,民主党派还有一条更快捷、更有效的反映意见建议的通道,就是各民主党派中央领导人,可以通过中共中央统战部,和中共中央领导或中央政府各部门领导直接进行沟通。叔叔把这个做法戏称作"上书紫光阁",说这是民主党派的     

“三个代表”重要思想与民主党派参政议政

江泽民同志"三个代表"的重要思想,回答了在新的历史条件下中国共产党应"建设一个什么样的党和怎样建设党"的问题,作为参政党的各民主党派,必须认真学习、深刻领会"三个代表"重要思想,在实践中要做"先进生产力的促进者、先进文化的弘扬者、广大人民群众利益的维护者",更好地发挥参政议政作用,提高参政议政水平。     

十一届三中全会以来民主党派章程的修订与创新

以中共十一届三中全会为转折点,民主党派章程建设在中断了近20年后又走上正轨发展轨道并随形势变化不断创新。回顾改革开放30年来民主党派章程的发展及其演变,总结民主党派章程建设的经验,对于进一步加强各民主党派的自身建设具有极其重要的意义。     

挑战与应对：民主党派参政议政的科学化

参政议政的科学化是民主党派面临的一项重大历史任务,是各民主党派从完善党派的参政方式和提升参政能力的角度出发、在不断总结自身参政经验和客观规律的基础上、为实现科学而有效地参政议政奠定坚实根基的社会历史过程。当前,民主党派要在坚持执政党领导的前提下,加强自身的思想理论建设,完善相关法律制度,培育参政议政人才,加强合作与交流,以促进民主党派整体功能的最大发挥。     

战时大学校园中的国民党:以西南联大为中心

During the Anti-Japanese War, universities became an important arena for the competition between GMD and CCP, as well as the contention among various nationalist factions. The GMD branch in the National Southwest Associated University was the most active one among its university party branches during the wartime. About half of the professors joined the GMD, and the university authorities also tolerated professors and students in other parties and factions. The professors made up a heterogeneous group that included “democratic fighters” like Wen Yiduo and “faithful party members” like Yao Congwu. The co-existence of intellectual elites belonging to different parties and factions created a highly tolerant “fortress of democracy” on campus.

建立健全民主监督机制进一步发展我国的多党合作制度

发挥民主党派的监督作用,是发展社会主义民主政治、坚持和完善社会主义民主制度的必然要求,也是改革和完善党的领导方式与执政方式的一个重要方面。我国多党合作和政治协商制度的不断完善,能够使民主党派通过合法而有效的途径和方式,经常地和多方面地对执政党实行民主监督。各民主党派只有不断加强自身建设,才能更好地发挥监督的优势、提高民主监督的水平。     

The pitfalls of participatory democracy: A study of the Australian Democrats' GST

This article analyses the operation of participatory democracy within the Australian Democrats, with reference to the development of the party's 1998 Goods and Services Tax (GST) policy and its subsequent application to debate in the Senate. The study extends beyond an evaluation of the formal participatory mechanisms codified in the party's Constitution, to their operation in practice—revealing the tensions faced by a small participatory party within a competitive electoral system. Difficulties include the primacy of the parliamentary party in everyday political decision making, and the importance of leadership and strong personalities, which sit uneasily with the formal democratic power accorded to the membership. The study also highlights a key debate applicable to all parties: whether parliamentarians represent the membership, party activists or the electorate, and how these levels of representation may be reconciled.     

村民自治条件下的民主监督问题探析

加强和完善村民自治中的民主监督制度,是我们党在新时期不断提高发展枉会主义民主政治能力的一项重要任务,是促进农村党风廉政建设、密切党群干群关系的有效途径,是进一步推进农村改革和发展、加快农村全面建设小康社会进程、全面加强党的执政能力建设的必然要求。近年来,全国农村各地在实行村民自治、加强民主监督方面已经做了大量工作,进行了多方面探索,取得了很大成绩。但就农村整体而言,现行村级民主监督的制度安排尚存在一些问题和缺陷。本在分析这些问题的基础上,提出了有针对性的治理措施和基本思路。     

Issue competition between Green and social democratic parties in majoritarian settings: the case of Australia

The emergence of green parties has injected new lines of competition into national party systems, with discernible issue competition effects for established, ideologically-proximate social democratic parties. Despite a burgeoning literature on green and social democratic issue competition tactics in settings where coalition government is common, we have less understanding of these same effects in settings where majority government is the norm. Using the case of the Australian Greens and the Australian Labor Party, we explore issue competition dynamics in a polity where the majoritarian electoral system reduces opportunities for coalition formation. We find that the absence of strong electoral imperatives for either party to enter coalitions has encouraged them to compete adjacent to one another, rather than in direct competition.     

It Hasn't Happened Here (Yet): The Obstacles to a Christian Democratic Party in the United States

While the French Revolution of 1789 divided European polities along religious lines in the ensuing decades, the English-speaking world, including the United States, was largely bypassed by the turmoil it engendered. Consequently, while Christian democratic parties developed in postrevolutionary Europe, parties in Great Britain and the US divided along more pragmatic lines. Now, however, the increasing polarization of the American electorate along religious and partisan lines has brought a French-stye divisiveness to that country's political life. While this would seem to provide fertile ground for the growth of a Christian democratic party, such a phenomenon will become viable only if structural, cultural and practical obstacles can be successfully overcome.     

Party Democracy: An Audit of Australian Parties

Competition between candidates representing political parties is usually regarded as a central feature of a liberal democracy. However, where competition between parties fails to provide the public with an effective choice of candidates, the real competition between candidates is displaced to a competition for party endorsement within particular parties. The paper examines the democratic implications of this displacement, and reports the findings of an audit of candidate-selection procedures within the principal Australian parties. The paper argues inter alia that the closed nature of electoral competition and the public status of Australian political parties imply that their internal affairs should be conducted democratically. The paper defines internal party democracy in structural and procedural terms. It applies realistic standards - realistic, because too much internal democracy could render a party ineffective and restrict electoral competition - in conducting an audit of the candidate-selection rules and the composition of candidate-selection voting panels for the principal Australian parties. The paper concludes with a suggestion for policy reform.
