Study Of The Ruling Inner-party Democracy

China has entered a new stage of development in overall constructing a well-being society and rapid advancing socialist modernization at the onset of 21st century. In the context of the deeply changed situation at home and abroad, if the Communist Party of China can stand at the head of the trend of the day, and unite and lead the Chinese people of all nationalities to realize the sacred mission of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation that the history and the present era have entrusted it, it must constantly enhance its own building and improve its level of leadership and governance, for which it is an indispensable subject to develop the inner-Party democracy. The report of the 16th National Congress of the CPC points out, "inner-Party democracy is the life of the Party", which is the scientific conclusion that the CPC has got from historical experience, and also a further deepened understanding of the ruling law of the Communist Party by the CPC. Interest is the root and aim of politics. Democracy is the political form that members of ruling class mediate the contradiction of interest among themselves through exercising and realizing right in equal and free way, and interest is the aim and root of the development of democratic politics. Whether there is an inexorable relation between interest and developing inner-Party democracy for the CPC as the ruling party? Since there is a partial understanding of the interest of the ruling party itself over a long period of time, interest is out of the normal talking of inner-Party politics.

Individual party member also has his own interest, which is the motivation for his participating inner-Party politics. Interest is the logic starting-point for developing inner-Party democracy mainly because inner-Party interest relations and interest contradictions and social interests and the changes of some relative elements have impact on the ruling party. On the basis of this understanding, this thesis tries to give a new theoretical framework and analysis and offers a new thinking for developing inner-Party democracy through using the relations between interests and developing the democracy within the ruling party as the theoretical foundation of argument.The thesis consists of foreword and seven chapters.
