On The Democratic Conditions

Democracy as a fashion of political decision-making and social life can not operate in a presumed environment. It's producing, developing and enforcing is a product of certain conditions of some society and its history. Democracy needs conditions, advanced and mature democracy cannot exist even for a moment without certain conditions. After democracy has become the common sense of all the people, paying more attention to the conditions of democracy, strengthening the research of democratic conditions, and exploring the concrete forms of democracy under certain conditions is becoming the top priority of the research of democratization.Democracy is an unity of uniqueness and commonness. It has its origin in the West, and is the product of western society and culture. But since the modern times, especially since the present age, it has rush out of the West into the whole global, become the common political aim and value pursue of the whole world, and is no longer the monopoly of the West. The process of democratization of the non-west is quietly different from the one of the West.,even that of all the non-west countries is very different from each other, and even at the various stage of the development of these countries, that shows different characteristics too. What these difference mean? How we regard the reasons which result in these differences? How to choose the suitable mode of political development and decide suitable strategy of political development based on all these knowledge? All these questions are what this dissertation mainly concern.The construction of Chinese democracy can not sufficiently satisfy the great enthusiasm of Chinese people and the reality of Chinese economic and social development, although has made great progress. This situation becomes especially conspicuous today when China's reform and opening-up advances a lot and the social conflict turns acute. As comprehensively and deeply pushing forward the construction of Chinese democratic politics with social characteristics is increasingly becoming the common sense of CPC (the Community Party of China) and Chinese people of all ethnics, people from various fields including scholars of political science still disagree and is at a loss as to the mode of Chinese political development, the way of political democratization etc. A lot of so-called"democratic blueprint"and plans which ignores the actual conditions and wants ;aims to satisfy the desire of certain part of some interest groups, simply responds to the pressure of China and abroad and pursue the short-term interests are coming into being. This situation is at some degree disturbing the process of Chinese construction of democratic politics and is becoming a threat to its right direction and effect.To answer and solve the above problems, choosing the condition theory as its perspective, this dissertation fully analyzes and sums up the possible various conditions of all the process of democratization of various countries in their every development stage, combs out and abstracts the regular pattern of the development of democratic politics, and focuses on the investigations of the conditions of Chinese democratic political development and the analysis of the process and path-choose of it under the constriction of these conditions based on the precondition of the confirmation of the democratic wave of the whole world and the way of democratic political construction of China. To be concrete, the main content of this dissertation concludes:In the first part, this dissertation sums up and cleans out the various definitions of democracy, and then proposes its own one which is in accordance with the main aim of its discussion and fully reflects the central essence and connotations. In investigating the various definition of democracy of the most representative in the academic circle, this dissertation put out the various dimensions of democracy such as broad sense, narrow sense, politics, society, concept, system, ideal, reality, etc. What's more, it put out and define the political essence of democracy.In the second part, the dissertation analyzes the common process of democratization with the help of the universal principle of condition theory of Marxism and modern condition decision-making theory. Through the analysis of the definition of democratic conditions, the common characteristics of democratic conditions, this dissertation rudimentarily establishes the common theory of the analysis of democratic conditions.In the third part, this dissertation deeply researches and explores the inner conditions and outer conditions of democracy. Based on the summary and concluding of the fruitful results of the past research of the relevance between democracy and its conditions in various democratization theory, this part analyzes the democratic conditions and their inner essence of politics, rule of laws, operation, and subject;and also, it analyzes the democratic conditions and their outer essence of economy, culture, society. It also figures out the influences of all these conditions to democracy.In the fourth part, the dissertation investigates the conditions of Chinese democratic political development at the current stage, analyzes modes, path and characteristics of Chinese democratic political construction under the constriction of these conditions. Through the clean-out and estimation of all the inner and outer conditions of Chinese democratic political construction at the current stage; and under the precondition of affirmation of the desirability and inevitability of Chinese democratic politics'great development, this part discovers the laws of Chinese democratic political construction in the perspective of the theory of conditions; and shows the absurdity and harms of various"theory of rash advanced democracy"and"theory of delayed democracy".What I must point out is that the purpose of this research is not at all to give a theoretical asylum of the"democratic theory of delayed democracy"which is expected to prevent the process of Chinese democratic political development. Under the modern situation, all the attitudes and policies which aim to prevent the great democratic wave by self-cheating is anyway extremely wrong and harmful. I am a advocate of conditions, but I am not an advocate of absolute conditions. I believe the right purpose of this research is to try to push forward the process of Chinese political development by making good use of conditions; and the right attitude of this research is to straightly face the influence of conditions and to create the favorable conditions.
