Researches On Present Situation Of Community Democratic Election In Fuzhou City And The Countermeasures

Community democratic election is not only an important aspect of community autonomy for its residents, but also a fundamental of Chinese politics in terms of democratic construction, and a major form of urban management. It remains theoretic and realistic significance to understand the current situations and problems of community democratic election and to explore the measures and methods to improve it.Starting with the introduction of theory of community democratic election and the experience of other countries, and taking Fuzhou as an example, this thesis makes a research on the electoral methods adopted by the local government by comparing the implementation procedure and impact of two electoral methods concerning resident representative voting and family representative voting. It is found that in despite of the improvement of family representative voting in the consideration of democratic coverage and procedure, some obstacles are undermining the development of community democratic election. Regarding this, the writer proposes two corresponding strategies to improve base-level democracy and system of community democratic election. Firstly, community is no long considered as the ideal arena in which to practice democracy. Instead, owner autonomy, which has a strong demand for democracy, is promoted as a major platform for the implementation of urban base-level democracy. Secondly, base on the community, display the government's function of guiding, and improve the community democratic election system as well as each necessary measure, to truely bring into play the social function of community as the "the training field" of democracy.
