This dissertation includes six chapters,120,000words in total.The first part,"Introduction", mainly explains why I has chosen this topic, and the value of researching it. It also includes a literature review on this field, describes the research methodology and potential innovations of this dissertation. The other five chapters are "An Overview on the Teyao System in Modern China","The Democratic System and the Practice of Teyao","The Supervision System and the Practice of Teyao","The Theoretical Foundation of the Teyao System", and "The Teyao System and the Modernization of Government's Governance Capacity". These four chapters research the Teyao system in modern China from the perspective of the theory of practice, epistemology, and the theory of development.In the first chapter,"An Overview of the Teyao System in Modern China", mainly describes the performances of Teyao system within the CCP, the system of people's political consultative conference, the system of people's congress, the system of administrative supervision, and the system of judicial supervision, which are under the leadership of the CCP. I further define the basic content of Teyao system, and analyze it in term of the subjects, objects, standards, and techniques. I also explain the functions of Teyao system to include elites, to mobilize, and to essentially legitimize the governance.In the second chapter,"The Democratic System and the Practice of Teyao",I divide the democratic system in modern China into electoral democracy and consultative democracy, whose home institution is the system of people's congress, and the system of people's political consultative conference, respectively. Through a research on historical materials, I analyze the different practice of Teyao system within these two fields, and hence prove the rationality of the Teyao system in history and in reality.In the third chapter,"The Supervision System and the Practice of Teyao", through documentary research and empirical research, I investigate the system of Teyao Renmin Jianduyuan(Specillay Invited People's Supervisor) within the administrative supervision and judicial supervision systems in modern China, and analyze the weakness and defect of this system.In the forth chapter,"The Theoretical Foundation of the Teyao System", I analyze the theoretical foundation of the Teyao system in modern China, and seek the inner relations between the Teyao system and the political and legal theories in modern China, linking the theory of Party-building, the theory of united front, the system of specially invited Party representatives and political consultative conference committees, the theory of election, and the system of the specially invited people's representatives, linking the theory of supervision and the system of specially invited administrative supervisors, linking judicial theory and the system of judicial specially invitation.In the fifth chapter,"The Teyao System and the Modernization of Government's Governance Capacity", I use the theory of identity politics to compares the Teyao system and the status society. I state that the Teyao system is part of elitism and controllable democracy. I use the theoretical tool of the legitimacy of law to state that the Teyao system is a result of the conflicts between the formal legitimacy and the essential legitimacy of modern Chinese law. From the perspective of the promotion of the modernization of national governance capacity, we need continue promoting the Teyao system among the political consultative conference committees, abandon the practice of "hatted representatives" in the system of specially invited Party representatives in different levels of the Party's representative meetings, and the system of the people's representative. We need to explore the system of specially invited people's supervisors within the administrative supervision and the judicial supervision.
