This paper consists of a foreword and five chapters. Following the basic principles of Marxist historical materialism as well as theories from subjects like political science, sociology, and economics, comprehensively using the research method of combining history with reality, theory with practice, focusing on historical transition of Chinese social stratum and class structure, the author analyzes the historical development of interests separation and political stability issues, and proposes some political advices on how to coordinate interests separation or clashes and how to maintain social stability.In Chapter One, the author studies the academic history of basic theories on interests separation and political stability, which is aimed to provide a relatively clear theoretical basis for the following questions. In the author's opinion, as an ethical concept, interests belongs to the realm of social relations in essence, which means that social products are possessed and enjoyed by social subjects, and it is a fundamental issue related to the existence and development of human beings. Interests separation is a process of redistribution of social resources among different classes and strata, of which the final results will definitely lead to transitions in social structure and transformation of social form. As far as political stability is concerned, the author does careful research in three aspects namely connotation and basic content of political stability, general characters analysis, and the setting up political stability coordinating system. On this basis, he also tries to discuss the relationship between interests separation and political stability.In Chapter Two, the author starts with general theories on structural transitions of classes and strata, rationally combs the changes of Chinese society's social structure over the past half century especially the past 26 years, and attempts to analyze the emergence and characters of the main new types of social interest groups in modern Chinese society. In the author's opinion, one important reason why interests separation and political stability issues become more and more prominent in modern Chinese society is that over the past 26 years of reform and opening up to the outside world, a group of people who are named as parvenu gained the most interests from illegal and unjustifiable ways, the economic and political status of them are expanding continuously.In Chapter Three, the author analyzes first the reasons why China has maintained social and political stability in huge vibration caused by reform and opening up to the outside world over the past 26 years, and then does some comparisons on how interests separation has affected political stability. On this basis, he analyzes the relationship of interests separation and political stability both from the up side and the down side. In the author's view, at present,the trend of widening of income gap, the trend of debasing of political and economic status of some strata such as workers and peasants, and the trend of expanding of political and economic status of groups illegally getting wealthy are the major factors that have negative influences on Chinese society's political stability. About the present situation of Chinese political stability, the author draws his conclusion on the basis of comprehensive analysis: the Chinese society is in a period of political stability at present, but some parts of the social endurance is going to run the risk of getting more and more fragile.In Chapter Four, following the theoretical analysis of Chapter Three, the author studies on how to coordinate interests separation and interests conflicts in modern Chinese society. The author considers that it will face challenges from economic globalization, worldwide problems, traditional Chinese interests coordinating system and patterns, and modernist problems to build a new type of interests coordinating system in modern China. To get rid of these restrictions, people will have to establish new principles and objectives. As for the basic contents of new interests coordinating system, the author makes specific analyses in four aspects: basic premise, key problems, core functions, and effective channels.In Chapter Five, from four aspects the author proposes some countermeasures on how to maintain social stability by the base of deep analysis of present national conditions: strengthen system to control and increase equality both at the beginning and during the process; deepen reform and deal with the roots of income inequality caused by disorder; seize the 'First Responsibility' to lay a foundation for equal distribution and reducing poverty; and apply legal and ideological means to build a harmonious society and curb irrational gains. |
