Laski is the beginner and famous political ideologist of the twentieth century inEurope, the British Labor party leader and he is first man who illustrates the politicalpluralism theory. The outbreak of First World War and real political events as theBritish workers’ movements lead directly to the generation of Laski’s politicalpluralism theory. Philosophical foundation of Laski pluralism thought is deeplyinfluenced by pragmatism and pluralism view of the universe.In the second chapter, Laski pluralism state theory of sovereignty thought wasintroduced. On the basis of criticism to the monism sovereignty, Laski mainlyexplains the connotation of multiple sovereignty from there aspects as the legalsovereignty, political sovereignty and international affairs of the sovereignty. Laski’stheory of the sovereignty experiences the change from the complete negation toadmitting its rationality and necessity existence of state sovereignty. Social jointmanagement has determined political joint management, the realization of the statepower in not rely on national force, but on the moral basis of achieving individualrights.In Chapter three, the paper discussed the status of socialist countries in Laski’spluralism state theory. This paper discusses the status of the country along with the discussion of relationship between state and society, national the relationship. Hecompares the social to a person, then the country is the bone of a person. Socialorganizations and countries also have sovereignty, the country represents the commoninterests of the individual, so the state’s sovereignty is prior to the sovereignty ofcommunity. Laski considers the occupational groups autonomy and regionalautonomy as two measures of realizing multiple countries. The purpose of thegovernment is to guarantee freedom, not limit freedom, so the function of state isbasis of government action. The state’s behavior usually appears as the government’sbehavior and the country will mainly reflect in the government will.In the fourth chapter, Laski’s pluralism state of constructing national politicalsystem and economic system are introduced in this paper. Laski regards the federalstate as the typical representative of multiple countries, affirms the local autonomyand his election against proportion, claiming for two-party system. In the settings ofstate power organs, Laski approves the British organization relationship which givespriority to administrative. He highlights to the supervision of the administrativepower and emphasizes that the nation and its officers can’t legally binding in theoutside. Laski advocates judicial independence, because the judicial independence isthe key factor to protect people’s freedom. In the economic system design, he dividesthe enterprise into three kinds, namely as the state-owned enterprise, consumerscooperatives and private enterprise.Chapter five has made brief comments on the Laski pluralism state theory. Laskipluralism state theory combines liberalism and individualism thoughts. His lifetime ofpolitical practice and political ideology is not only has the impact of Great Britain,and also has far-reaching influence on many Asian and African countries to seek waysfor freedom democracy.
