Today, the international competition has entered the era of soft power struggle; the national cultural security has become the word’s pressing political appeal, and the cultural soft power is increasingly important for the development of universities. Study on the interaction between politics and universities from a cultural perspective are very valuable.Party, government and policy are the three basic elements of politics, which have close relationship with the university. From the perspective of cultural soft power of universities, an analysis on the relationship between politics and universities is given. In part 1, we respectively studied the game between party and university, the balance between government intervention and university autonomy, the struggle between policy and university in the field of will and idea. Firstly, an analysis on the relationships of political program with the extension of universities’ function, the benefit gambling of the higher education, and the transformation of the talent training‘s target is presented, considering politics and universities as the beneficiaries. Secondly, an analysis on the relationships of government with the administrative power in universities, university autonomy and academic freedom is introduced, seeing government as the behavioral carrier. Finally, a research on how to indicate the national ideology and the social core value, and how to provide the political orientation and institutional guarantee of universities’ reform and development is given, considering policy as the volitional medium of the interaction with universities.Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that universities and politics both share an ultimate purpose: to improve national cultural soft power, and meet people’s cultural needs. So cultural can be a good intermediation between politics and universities. At last, take “politic contact theory” as theoretical basis we discussed some methods on the interaction between universities and politics.The research methods which we mainly adopted in this paper are literature analysis, comparative study, and theory analysis. The innovations of this paper are as following: to start with, we proposed three value orientations for the interaction between university and politics; what’s more, we analysis the function and positioning of party, government and police in the development of university; finally, we research the interaction between politics and universities from the Perspective of soft cultural power of universities.
