The Government Performance Of Northwest Minority Areas And The Protection Of Civil Rights

A study of the internal relationship between the government performance and the protection of civil rights is meaningful and rewarding both theoretically and practically. The protection of civil rights is the foundation of the government performance in any democracy countries since the government performance can reflect the degree of the protection of civil rights, and the protection of civil rights can enhance the government performance.Duo to the characteristics of Northwest Minority Areas different from that of the eastern and central areas, special attention should be paid to the index system in the process of the local government performance evaluation: such as minority relations, ecological environment, religious rights protection, religious affairs management, minority personnel training.The paper based on the Government Performance Evaluation Index System put forward by the experts from the State Personnel Ministry, analyses several indexes related closely to the protection of civil rights in northwest minority areas. Besides the government performance in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hunan and Henan is also introduced here to make a contrast. Per capita GDP, per capita income and expenditure of urban and rural residents, registered unemployed population and unemployment rate in northwest minority areas have been used as indexes to observe the local government performance in protecting civil economic rights; the proportion of illiterates and semiliterates of those 15 and over 15 years old, the financial allocations for expenditure on education have been chosen to assess the local government performance in protecting civil rights to receive education; The average life expectancy and industrial waste water discharge and treatment as indexes for the local government performance in protecting civil rights of life and health; Medical institutions, the number of hospital beds and the rate of insuring in basic endowment insurance, unemployment insurance and basic medicare as indexes for evaluating the local government performance in protecting civil social security rights; The proportion of allocation for administrative management to the total financial expenditure, the proportion of administrative personnel to the specialized technician have been adopted to evaluate the local government performance in administrative cost. Through the above observation and research the gap of the local government performance in protecting civil rights between northwest minority areas and the eastern and central area is huge. However, the local government of northwest minority areas has made great contributions to protect the civil right of different nationalities and the developing speed is higher than the average.It is necessary for the local government of northwest minority areas to strengthen the protection of the civil rights through scientific performance evaluation. Scientific conception of development and correct conception of achievements can ensure the effective government performance evaluation with the civil rights protection as the priority. In the local government performance evaluation index system, the protection of civil rights can help promote the combination of government performance evaluation and the transformation of the government functions.
