On The Chinese Mode Of Marxism Thought On The Relationship Between State And Society

The disseration focuses on the Chinese Mode of Marxism thought on therelationship between state and society, which based on two levels of the theory andpractice and tries to respond to three questions： What is the original kind of mode ofMarxist thinking about the state and society? What are the fruitful theoreticalachievements of Chinese Communists on the Marxist thought of the state-societyrelations? In the present moment with dramatic new change of party’s situations,national conditions and the worldly affairs, no matter it is initiatively making change toadapt or the huge forced mechanism under the Ecological Change of real politics, asthe “realistic sample” of the state-society relations, how should the relationshipbetween the government and the social organization be reformed to fit the trendsrequires of the times and create a good governance pattern by working together?State and society, two big carriers of Human organization structure and orderestablishment, are the important proposition of Marxist theory and significant part of thetheoretical construction, and are the management philosophical issues of the exploration onthe contemporary public governance paradigm as well. In Marxist ideological pedigree, thethinking of relations between the state and society has profound theoretical connotations andimportant practical value. To mention only the most important of them, for instance：“Stateoriginates from the society”,“Society determines state.”,“Sociality of public administration”,“National differentiation, opposition and unity”,“withering away of the state and return to thesociety” and so on, which outlines of the relationship between the state and society.Chinese communists, who accepted baptism of Marxist theory in the enormous wave ofrevolution, have been in the search for the true meaning of the theory of the state-societyrelations. On the theoretical road, excellent political leaders of Chinese Communist Party’smade determined efforts and hard toil to explore mountains and woods. They rooted in thecollective wisdom inherited and creatively developed the Marxist ideology of the relationsbetween state and society, then established a Chinese mode map of Marxist thinking on it.This mode map consists of theory mode and practice mode. The theory mode is the richthinking on the relations between state and society explained by the theoretical system of the“Mao Zedong Thought”, the “Deng Xiaoping Theory”, the important thought of “ThreeRepresents” and “Scientific outlook on development”. This paper focused on the carefulexamination on the core content, the basic framework and the theoretical state of above- mentioned ideas. The Practice mode is the relationship between the state and the socialorganization in the socialist construction, which needs to be made clear. The “metaphysical”state-society relations evolved the “physical” relationship between the government and thesocial organization. Theory comes from practice and is higher than practice; practice is thematerial “origin” of theory. Government is the carrier of the country’s governance and thesocial development rely on the social organization. The real relationship between governmentand the social organization becomes an “actual sample” of the state-society relations.This article consists of six chapters.The first chapter is Introduction.This part introduces the research background, the research purpose, the theoretical valuesand practical meaning of the study, then explains the research method, logical frameworkstructure of this paper, and in addition, reviews relative domestic and overseas literatures,defines and clarifies related concepts. Thus, it lifts the curtain on the study.The second chapter is creation of classic: Marxist theory on the relationship betweenstate and society.From the perspective of history, this part discusses and interprets Marxist theory on thestate-society relations. It argues that taking criticisms on Hegel’s misinterpretation to therelationship between civil society and political country as the logical starting point, Marx andEngels created a scientific theory of state-society relations, including the civil society theory,the social thought of public administration and the thinking of “national originates from thesociety and return to society”. After that, Lenin defended and developed the basic idea ofMarxist theory on the state-society relations, including the idea of the “withering away of thestate” and a series of new theoretical advocates, such as “laborers are entitled to the highestauthority of the social management” and “maximizing the living conditions of the workersand peasants” and so on. On this basis, this chapter thinks about further the enlightenmentfrom the thought of state-society relations, which the classical writers of Marxism taught us.The third chapter is theoretical inherit: the continious exploration of ChineseCommunists on the relationship between state and society.From the perspective of history and literature reviews, this part studies the series ofinsights into the state-society relations from the excellent political leaders of ChineseCommunist Party, including Mao Zedong Thought on social civil rights and people-rootedviewpoint, Deng Xiaoping’s social demorcracy and public power theory, the political party,national and social theory of the "Three Represents", and a series of new thinking andexploration on the social management issues from the scientific concept of development since the Sixteenth Congress. Mao Zedong Thought on on social civil rights and people-rootedviewpoint mainly displays in three aspects： power, belongs to and comes from and shouldbenefit to the people; the working methods of the mass line and the point of view that concernfor the sufferings of the masses. Deng Xiaoping’s social demorcracy and public power theoryis primarily represented in three sides： the thinking of correct guidance without arrangementfor the mass organizations; the thought of power serving for the vital interests of the broadmasses and the idea of “Without democracy there would be no socialist modernization”. Thepolitical parties, national and social theory of the important thought of "Three Represents" isconcretely embodied in： keeping up with the trend of the times to strengthen the party’sconstruction of governance ability; socialist political civilization in the new historical period;unified dialectical thinking of empowering the people and ruling the country by law. Newexploration of the social management issues from scientific concept of developmentmanifests： strengthening the social construction, which is focused on improving people’slivelihood; Always adhering to the people-oriented in social management; perfecting thesocial management state of working together.The fourth chapter is representation of mode： display of Marxist theory of state-societyrelations in Chinese mode.After completing the reviews and interpretation of the Marxist theory of the relationshipbetween state and society, this part turns logically to further study the Chinese real mode ofMarxist ideology of state-society relations. Compared to the mist of state-society relations, therelationship between Government and the social organization seems more pragmatic.Therefore, this chapter is based in Guangdong, empirically researches the development surveyof the social organization. Then, it draw a conclusion by regression analysis method that inthe real life the relations of mutual trust and good interaction between the local governmentand the social organization, that can eliminate the psychological barriers, has not yet beenestablished.The fifth Chapter is Mode reviewing： force field game of co-operation between thelocal government and the social organizationOn traditional view, state was above society and this caused the development single lineof state to the society. However, Marxism hold the idea that, the national and social interestsgame is expanded around the public power, public power owners follow a social evolutionpath of society-state-society. This is a historical necessity. Taking the analysis on theMarxism interests game concept of state and society, this chapter is mainly to respond to such a question： What kind of support and resistance exist in the co-operation between localgovernment and the social organization? This paper believe that the corrective force of thesocial organization to the governance failure of government, the midwifery force ofcooperation from the structural reform, the response force of cooperation in the constructionof service-oriented government, the fit force of cooperation in the common goal of publicinterests are powerful driving force to support and promote cooperative relations; half-builtof mutual trust between the local government and the social organization, unease of “totalsociety” pattern, credibility crisis and hard problems of system, benefits and encouragementare huge obstruction to fragment and contain built of cooperative relationship.The sixth chapter is the trend of mode： survey on the path to the cooperation betweenlocal government and the social organization.Marxist concept on society restricts public rights is reflected in two aspects： thecriticisms on Hegel’s philosophy on civil society and political state; as well as the idea of thesocial state in the future. Guided by the Max’s concept on society restricts public rights, thecooperation between local government and the social organization should be built in therealistic level. Establishment of this partnership needs joint efforts from both sides. On the onhand, the local government should make positive and prudent behavior selection for therealization of cooperative relations, including： changing management ideas of thegovernment, transforming “prevention” to “regulation”; sublating the dual managementsystem, creating a system of registration; breaking dilemma of the social organization,newmanagerial wisdom is to be developed; strengthening the supervision on the socialorganization, building a five defense system. On the other hand, the social organization mustmake sincere and efficient efforts to achievement of the cooperative relationship：consolidating the foundation, strengthening the construction of public credibility; building areal structure, improve the self-organizing system; enriching the connotation, maintainingtheir independence; Paying attention to the relations, expanding international exchanges.
