The Study Of National Political Security In Contemporary China From The Perspective Of Political Communication

Today's society is a risky society.More and more attention has been paid to public security issues by all mankind.Because of the public nature of politics,all kinds of security problems are always closely related to political practice.Barry Buzan who is the representative character of Constructivism Research on Security once said "The political field is the biggest field.All the security issues belong to the political category.All threats and defenses are defined from the political angle."Therefore,political security is in the core position and the highest level of national security system.It is the guarantee of other types public security.If political security faces challenges and threats,social stability and national security will be threatened radically.National political security is closely related to political legitimacy.Ensuring political security is not only reducing threat factors to political system.Fundamentally,maintaining political security should be achieved by enhancing the degree of political legitimacy and improving the level of political development and political civilization construction.The maintenance of national political security is a grand subject,and it is closely related to various aspects of political development.Among them,political communication is of great significance to it.It is an important view of national political security research.National political security is closely related to the process of political communication.In a sense,the whole political process can be seen as a process of information dissemination.The stable operation of political system must ensure the smooth transmission of political information inside and outside the political system.From the perspective of government,political communication is the process of government getting consent by using means of communication.From the perspective of society,it is the process of the public accepting and internalizing political information and the formation of national political identity.In today's society,political communication is an important way for the political system to obtain political legitimacy and maintain national political security.At present,socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.Due to the profound changes in domestic society and the influence of international factors,the domestic and foreign security situations that our country faces are still very serious and complex.Although political communication has been paid more and more attention by the Party and the government,there are still great deficiencies in the construction of political communication in our country.To a certain extent,this situation affects the domestic and international political identity of our country,and has a negative impact on the maintenance of national political security.The importance of political communication,the challenge of our country's political security,and the relative lag of political communication all put forward theoretical and practical requirements for maintaining national political security from the perspective of political communication.There have always been two research ideas about political communication:studies from the perspective of politics and studies from the perspective of communication.Studies from the perspective of politics focus on viewing politics as a process of communication.Communication is the nerve of the government.Studies from the perspective of communication focus on the influence of communication(especially mass media)on the political process and the formation of public opinion.It is considered that "Intermediate Politics" has become the main model of democracy,and the effect of media in the political process is becoming more and more important.This paper studies the issue of political security from the perspective of political communication,and advocates the integration of the above two perspectives.On the one hand,since it is a study of "political security" in the field of political science,the political standard should be adhered to first and foremost.On the other hand,under the background that the mass media has a great influence on the contemporary democratic politics,especially the new media plays a more and more important role in the political development of contemporary China,thinking about political communication and political security from the perspective of communication is not only the need of theoretical research,but also the result of reality.In view of this,this paper puts the foothold of the study on each dimension of national political security,and focuses on the importance of political communication to different dimensions of national political security.The specific research of this paper follows the train of thought of "interpretation of concept--construction theory--tracing back to history--analyzing reality--solving problems”.First of all,it explains the connotation,level,constituent elements,theoretical basis and other basic issues of national political security.National political security has a multi-dimensional connotation,including not only that the national political power is not threatened and can be effectively implemented,but also that the political power has supports of solid social foundation.Among them,the security of political idea and system which mainly refers to its legitimacy is the core issue of national political security.National political security includes the ideology security of the value dimension,the ruling security of the political party dimension,the effective operation of the government dimension,the stability of the political order in the social dimension and the security of national sovereignty in the international dimension.In the overall national security of our country,political security is both the fundamental and the guarantee,which occupies the core position and the highest level of the national security system.Under the overall concept of national security,political security pays attention to the unity of political development and political security,the unity of domestic political security and international political security,the unity of national political power security and civil rights and security,and the unity of our own security and universal security.Secondly,from the perspective of political communication theory,this paper expounds the internal logical relationship between political communication and the maintenance of national political security,and seeks the theoretical correspondence between political communication and national political security.Political legitimacy builds a bridge between political communication and national political security.Political legitimacy is the essential content of national political security.By promoting the value,power and social foundation of political legitimacy,political communication can help achieve the national ideology security,regime security and political order stability and then consolidate the political security of the country.In terms of constituent elements,political communication and national political security have the main body consistency,content relativity,interoperability in the media and the consistency of goals.Thirdly,it investigates the historical and current situations of the maintenance of national political security from the perspective of political communication.The characteristics of the times determine the overall situation and maintenance mode of national political security.After the founding of the people's Republic of China,the political legitimacy in different historical periods which is the essence of political security was determined by the political development and the choice of national strategy at that time.The situations of political development and national political security in different periods were revealed directly through the political communication process.The political communication in a certain period also had an important effect on the acquisition of the political legitimacy and the situation of national political security.It played an important role in the construction of the political order at that time.At present,the political communication of the new media age is both an opportunity and a challenge to the national political security maintenance.National governance modernization and the modern transformation of political communication is the essential requirement and overall direction of national political security.The national political security of our country is faced with the challenges of pluralistic social trend of thought,lack of social identity,disorder of internet political participation,complexity of international security situations and so on.Finally,taking political legitimacy as the internal logical connection between political communication and the maintenance of national political security,closely combining with the reality of national political security maintenance in China,according to the five main elements of China's national political security at present,this paper constructs the analytical framework of national political security maintenance from five dimensions:value dimension,political party dimension,government dimension,social dimension and international dimension.In each dimension,it studies the theoretical and practical problems of national political security maintenance of China.Based on the importance of the dissemination to the legitimacy of the ideology,the value dimension of national political security maintenance discusses how to maintain the national ideological security through the enhancement of the popularization of Marxism.The essence of national ideological security is to realize the value identity of the people to the mainstream ideology,so as to consolidate the value foundation of the political legitimacy.The popularization of Marxism is the fundamental requirement to realize the ideological identity of our country.Political communication is the basic means to realize the popularization of Marxism.In the process of the popularization of Marxism,we should maintain the ideological security of our country by promoting the content and form of the popularization of Marxism to keep pace with the times.The content of communication should not only adhere to the basic value of democracy,the rule of law and people-oriented doctrine,but also combine the value promotion with the socialist political practice with Chinese characteristics,and combine it with the real life of the people.In order to adapt to the new requirement of the internet information transmission mode,we should improve the spreading effect of the popularization of Marxism and effectively maintain the mainstream ideology safety through innovating communication concept,perfecting the communication discourse and enriching the communication channels.The political party dimension of national political security maintenance discusses the way to establish a two-way interactive political communication process and enhance the Party's ruling legitimacy from the view of the orientation of the Party's political communication.The mode of political communication can be divided into one-way communication and two-way communication.The direction of political communication has a great influence on the effect of communication between the ruling party and the people.It is directly related to the situation where the ruling party is supported by the people.Although one-way political propaganda plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining the Party's ruling security,the two-way interactive political communication is more conducive to the realization of this purpose.At present,we need to strengthen the inner-Party political communication culture and system construction,form an atmosphere of effective communication and a smooth inner-Party political communication channel,so as to achieve the political goal of cohesion within the Party and lay a solid foundation for the maintenance of the Party's ruling security.We should achieve the two-way communication and benign interaction between the Party and the people through innovating communication idea and constructing a new mode of communication,so as to enhance the ruling legitimacy of the Party and maintain the ruling security of the Party.Starting from the present situation that the information in government communication is lack of publicity,the government dimension of national political security maintenance discusses how to enhance the publicity of government communication,improve the credibility of the government and maintain the national political security.From the perspective of government,national political security is based on the credibility of the government.It is a necessary condition for the government to enhance the credibility by affecting the public's perception through the dissemination of information.And it is of great practical significance for the maintenance of national political security.Among them,the authenticity and responsiveness of information choice is one of the most important factors to the construction of government credibility.The selective control of the government information can lead to the lack of information communication between the government and the public,which can raise the public's challenge to the government and pose a threat to the trust of the government.From the view of the government communication,the maintenance of the national political security is to improve the public credibility of the government's conduct and foster the public's trust in the government by constantly enhancing the publicity of the government communication.This will need to be carried out in the aspects of setting up the public concept of the government,integrating the government s communication resources,and strengthening the construction of the government's communication system.Starting from the reality of internet political participation disorder,the social dimension of national political security maintenance discusses how to construct an open and orderly political participation and information feedback system on the internet in order to guide the participation of internet politics in an orderly manner and promote the stability of the political order.It is an important indicator of national political security that the expression of citizens' interests is smooth,the political participation is orderly,the political identity is good and the social and political order is stable.From the view of information dissemination,the smooth channel of political communication feedback is an important guarantee of political participation,which directly affects the stability of political order.Today is a digital network age.Internet becomes a new way to communicate between citizens and between citizens and government.As one of the forms of political communication feedback,internet political participation plays an important role in the stability of political order.Benign internet political participation is of great significance to maintain social and political order,and disorderly internet political participation will bring threats and challenges to social and political stability.The key to guide the orderly development of internet political participation lies in ensuring the effectiveness and smoothness of information input,giving full play to the positive role of internet political participation in expressing public opinion,cushioning contradictions,and avoiding the harm of irrational and poor expression of internet political participation to social and political order.By boosting the subject construction,strengthening the government governance,improving the environment of internet political communication participation and information feedback,we can promote the rational development of internet political participation and give full play to the role of internet political participation in maintaining the stability of social and political order.Starting from the importance of international political communication to international political security,the international dimension of national political security maintenance discusses how to construct positive international identity and maintain international political security through good international political communication.The basic point of view is:International identity is the deep factor of international political security.International political communication has promoted national communication and exchanges with foreign countries.The concept foundation,rule basis,effectiveness basis and consensus foundation of international identity are all dependent on the international political communication.The acquisition of international identity is essentially the process of international political socialization of a country that achieves political legality through international political communication.The realization of China's international political identity needs to let the world know "what kind of development path China is going to take and what kind of value China represents",which urgently needs strong international political communication.At present,it is an important task of China's international political security maintenance to further strengthen the construction of international political communication and actively promote international identity.We can effectively integrate the content of political communication,strengthen the construction of discourse,and enrich the forms and ways of communication in order to construct a positive,active and effective process of international political communication.We should give full play to the role of international political communication in enhancing international identity and earnestly safeguard China's international political security.The five dimensions of national political security maintenance from the perspective of political communication are closely related to each other and influence each other.They construct a multi-dimensional and integrated analytical framework of national political security maintenance.The five dimensions contain the relationship between the national level and the social level of the maintenance of national political security.As two aspects of national political security maintenance,all dimensions should realize the coordinated operation between the state(political party,government)and society(public).As the main part of the national political security,the ideological security,the ruling security,the credibility of the government and the political participation order of the people are reflected through the benign interaction between the state and the society,and they must also be realized and maintained through the interaction between the two.The five dimensions show the relationship between the internal and external aspects of the maintenance of national political security.Not only the internal political security and the international political security are closely related to each other,but also the internal political communication and external political communication are positively connected.The content and model of internal political communication of the state determine the basic characteristics of international political communication.The effect of international political communication will also have an impact on domestic public opinion and the political identity of the domestic people.Both of them play an important role in the maintenance of national political security.The five dimensions explain the relationship between the concept level and the process level of the national political security maintenance.On the one hand,the concept level of national political security maintenance exists at the whole process level.In our country,the mainstream ideological security of Marxism is the core content and basic goal of the national political security maintenance in each dimension,and it is also the soul of it.On the other hand,the ideology security at the conceptual level is realized through the maintenance process of national political security in each dimension.Internally,to maintain the mainstream ideology security through the process of political communication is to embody the basic value connotation of Marxist mainstream ideology and maintain its dominant position in the process of political communication of the Party,government communication and people's political participation.To the outside world,it is to strengthen the dissemination of socialist core values and realize the international identity of it in the international political communication.
