Research Of The Relationship Between The Political Party And The State Power In Contemporary China

As the product of near modern politics, the political party has nearly proliferated to each corner of the world. At the same time the party politics also has become the essential political appearance in the countries all over the world, deeply influencing the development of politics in these countries. It is well known that the basic goal of political party is to capture and control the state power. By the control of the state power the political party can carry out its guiding principles and realize the benefit of the social rank or stratum represented by it. However in order to control the state power, the political party has to obtain the people's support by any means possible. Thus the party has become the bridge that links the state and the people. Therefore the relationship between the party and the state power becomes the object concerned by the society, also becomes the important field which the academic circles studies.The political party between the state power and the people must be clear about its own localization, display the bridge function fully, and load the responsibility which communicates the state power with the people. But the realization of this bridge function must depend on the development of the party's basic functions. The party's basic functions include: The function of benefit integration, the function of benefit expression, the function of political employment, the function of political socialization as well as the function of leading state power. Only by intercoordinating and displaying these five big functions well can the political party achieve its own goal, to say further, can the party politics operate effectively and the entire national political life carry on methodically.The relationship between the ruling party and the state power in our state is a complicated problem in times gone by. As the result of historical reason before our country's liberation and in the early days of it our country always implemented highly centralized political system. The state power was highly centralized to the party, and the party's power was highly centralized to the Central Party Committee. Although this kind of highly centralized political system played a big role at that time, along with the development of society, this kind of system exposed various irregularities gradually and the problem of "Substituting functions of the government by the party, not separating functions of the party from those of the government." followed it. Investigating its reason, this mainly cased by the offside and the dislocation of the party functions. In order to eliminate these malpractices, we must reform the highly centralized pattern of the relationship between the party and the state power, change the offside and the dislocation of the political party functions, and enable its functions' displaying to return to the normal track.Western developed country's party politics must be much mature than ours. The relationship between the party and the state power processes must be more harmonious in western nations. Because the Political party in western developed countries is in power in turn, ruling party's changing in succession will not influence the stability of the state power generally; the political party also complies with the principle separating relatively the state power with the political party in institutional constructions such as organizations and agencies and organization functions etc. Moreover civil official's political neutral system is manifesting this principle similarly. Thus enough space is remained for the ruling party and the state power to display their own functions. But the relationship between the western political party and the state power is closely connected in essence. This kind of unique political localization of the western political party that "go" outside system and "body" is in the system makes it can organize and instruct social development through the authority, the system, the ideology and each kind of social unit, moreover cannot or very little causes the phenomena of "Substituting functions of the government by the party, not separating functions of the party from those of the government." in the operation system and its own political activity.In view of the fact that the western developed country's experience as well as the development request of our country's party politics, we must display the basic functions of the political party fully in order to establish a new type relationship between the party and the government. Our party must persist in ruling by science, ruling by democracy and ruling by law. The relationship between the ruling party and the state power also needs to persist in the scientific style, the democratization and the legalization. This overall request connected with closely how our country political party functions display. Only the political party functions obtain the full display, can the relationship between the party and the government advance along the direction of science, democracy and law.
