A Comparative Analysis Of The Transition Of National Democracy From The Perspective Of Party-State Relations: The Former Soviet Union, South Korea, And Singapore

This article focuses on the impact of party-state relations on the path of democratic transition in the country during the transition period.The first chapter introduces the research purpose and significance,research status at home and abroad,and research methods.The second chapter is the elaboration of the core concept,which is mainly about the different overview of the concept of the party-state relationship between China and the West and the definition of the concept of democratic transition.The third,fourth,and fifth chapters mainly discuss the relations and characteristics of political parties and countries during the democratic transition of the Soviet Union,South Korea,and Singapore.Chapter 6 compares the different influences of party-state relations in the three countries on democratic transformation.Looking back at the course of democratic transition in various countries around the world in recent decades,the transformation methods adopted are different.Countries involved in democratic transition are rooted in the background of their own countries,and some countries have embarked on the road to steady development of democracy.Some countries are difficult to reconcile.Contradictions brought about by the transformation,the final transformation failed.However,whether successful or unsuccessful,there is an important institutional factor that plays a role in the process of democratic transition: the relationship or distance between the ruling party and the state in the transition period: if the other relevant variables remain basically unchanged,if the ruling party Relations with the state follow modern constitutional rules or that the ruling party maintains a certain distance from the state.Then there will be a gradual transition.This may have two consequences.One is that the state can accommodate and easily control the development and democracy of the opposition party.Development,the opposition party can also tolerate to a greater extent the ruling party to continue to govern;Another result is that in the process of gradual transformation has occurred in the political party rotation,but the entire transition is still relatively stable,of course,unlike the stability of the former transformation..In such transitional countries(or regional governments),the process of democratization can be accommodated and controlled to a large extent,and thus its transition process is relatively stable.We can classify the relationship between party-state relations and democratic transition methods into three types: one is that the most closely related governing state of the party-nation has a radical transition,the Soviet Union as an example,and the second is that the party-state or party-government relationship is in an intermediate state.The modest transformation that has taken place has been exemplified by the transition of the authoritarian regime of South Korea.The third type is the relationship between the party and the state that has maintained a considerable distance.Transformation has always been carried out within the “institution”,such as Singapore.This article uses these three countries as examples to study in a comparative way to reveal the role of party-state relations in democratic transition.
