A Study On The Relationship Between The People's Action Party Of Singapore And The People

As we all know,today we live in an era of party politics.Most countries in the world are governed by political parties in charge of national power.However,with the development of party politics,how a party wins the trust and support of the people becomes a prerequisite for whether a party can come to power and prolong its ruling life.Winning over the people will require solving a number of problems,some of which are more acute and urgent under a long period of one-party rule.For example:In a pluralistic society,how does the mainstream ideology guide the people? In the process of political communication with the public,how to strengthen communication ability and make political communication more effective through the construction of efficient political communication mechanism? In the process of governing,how to set up a clean public image,in order to be more widely recognized by the people? The quality of solving these problems is not only related to the longevity of the party in power,even related to its life and death.From the perspective of the development of world party politics,different ideas and practices will have different destinies in dealing with these problems.Naturally,there are lessons to be learned from both success and failure.This paper selects one of the more successful political parties so far--the People's Action Party of Singapore.Although it is a small party in a small country,its achievements in governing the party and the country have attracted worldwide attention and been praised.Especially under the condition of long-term one-party governance,it has continuously won the trust and support of the people.Indeed,it has some unique ideas and practices.Its experience is worthy of our attention and exploration,but also can give us some enlightenment and reference.This article,taking the research of relationship between Singapore people's action party and the people,in which one party's long-term historical process,using methods such as literature research,comparative research,historical analysis,concept-practice-effectiveness as analysis frame,probe into action party encountered in dealing with public relations image of ideology,political communication and parties,adhere to the concept of problem solving,by the concept under the guidance of practice and the final results to solve these problems.Through these analyses,we can find out the wisdom of dealing with the public when the PAP was in power,and the "confidence" to win the approval of the public and stay in power for a long time,and explore the enlightening experience.The thesis consists of three parts: introduction,main text(five chapters)and summary.In the introduction part,it mainly introduces the reason of the topic,the theoretical and practical significance of the topic.The domestic and foreign literatures related to this study were reviewed and reviewed,the research ideas and methods of this topic were determined,and the difficulties and possible innovation points of this study were evaluated.The first chapter is the theoretical analysis of the relationship between the political party and the public and determine the research focus of this paper to make theoretical preparation for the later research.Starting from the definition of the relevant concepts between the party and the people,the connotation and function of the party,the ruling party and the party in power for a long time are determined.The public,the public,the public and other related concepts to differentiate and analyze.Then it discusses the connotation of the relationship between the political party and the public,and the mechanism of the relationship between the ruling party and the public.Based on the factors affecting the relationship between political parties and the public from different perspectives,this paper analyzes the relatively successful and unique Singapore among the long-ruling political parties to solve these problems,and establishes an analytical framework of idea-practice-effectiveness.The second chapter mainly starts from the historical dimension and focuses on the three historical periods in which the PAP deals with the relations with the people with different emphases.This paper systematically investigates the development process of the PAP's relationship with the public,the demands of different development stages and the interaction with the public since the establishment of the PAP,laying a foundation for the further study of the relationship between the PAP and the public.The third chapter mainly studies the PAP's concept,practice and effectiveness in dealing with ideological issues.The party of Action holds a rational and pragmatic ideology when it constructs and debuts its ideology.Under the influence of this concept,the mainstream ideology of the PAP has been evolving in practice,from "neither mule nor horse nor donkey" with Singapore characteristics to "national identity" and "Asian values",and then to "common values" now.The mainstream ideology of the PAP has always been "popular" and contemporary,which has also promoted social harmony.The fourth chapter mainly studies the strategic thinking,practice and effect of the PAP in dealing with the political communication with the public.In its communication with the people,the PAP keeps in mind its core pursuit,"acting" for "the people",and has a strong sense of crisis.Under the guidance of these ideas,the Action Party has been building and constantly improving the mechanism of political communication with the people,and has established the political leadership communication mechanism under the guidance of "one-party leadership",which has developed from the traditional long-term mechanism of "parent-caring" political communication to the political communication mechanism of "friend-flow".The mechanism of political communication between the PAP and the people has narrowed the distance between the PAP and the people,which is conducive to political stability and social harmony,and at the same time,it has consolidated the authority of the party and enhanced the public's identity.The fifth chapter mainly studies the idea,practice and effect of the People's Action Party in dealing with the issue of the clean image of the political party.In terms of ideas and cognition,the PAP can understand human nature,punish evil and promote good,attach importance to people's right to know and supervision,and realize that the establishment of clean government image will not be achieved in a day.In practice,strengthen the construction of clean government culture,optimize the path of clean government construction,solid institutional cage.It has built up a benign political ecosystem,won a wide international reputation,and finally established a public image of honesty.In the summary part,the three characteristics and experience of the PAP in dealing with the relationship with the public are briefly summarized.
