Interactive Governance:the Interrelation A Nd Interaction Between Government Mana Gement And Social Participation

The relationship between the government and society is generally divided into two modes which are governmental control and social participation. In Chinese traditional society, the county goes beyond the range of the Imperial power. The state management of rural society relies on squire gentry managed by the patriarchal system of village society. Villagers contact with the state by paying taxes, etc. The state and society are separated. This management mode is an interconnected model, but not interactive. With the development of modern Western society, civil awareness is gradually improved. Common people want to participate in the social management to respond to the control of the Government. This has become a new management model. The new management model not only gives people the right of participation, but also forms interactive relationship between the government and citizens through many ways. At the beginning of citizens’ spirit, people’s initiative consciousness becomes stronger, but the standardization of the interactive is lower. The relationship between the government and society tends to be changed from an interconnected but not interactive model into a simple interactive model. This simple interaction is characterized by citizens’initiative participation which is to compete with country. The confrontation leads to interconnected but not interactive relationship between the state and society, which brings crisis to the legitimacy of the government. The legitimacy of the modern government depends on legal-rational authority, which stipulates the responsibilities and obligations between government and citizen. The government obtains the social acceptance and legitimacy foundation through providing public services, while citizen participation is in order to achieve the government’s public service. So it should be an interconnected and interactive relationship between the state and society, which I call "interactive management model".
