Understand Participation

This text a political philosophy thesis that is to introduce the " participate in "thought of Pateman.Through combing to Pateman's thought and exposition and contrasting our country's concrete democracy to practise, we can find the participating in type new trend in China's development of democracy.Having made the enormous achievement in reform and opening-up of China, and China's biggest change is in the village. Among them, villager's autonomy is playing a quite great role, this display displays the spiritual aspect in the thought in the material system as well as. First, It promoted the development of rural economy, peasant's life has got great improvement; Second, the system of villager's autonomy has already been basically established, the development of the villager autonomy activity have system guarantee; Third, the spirit and idea of villager's autonomy are rooted in the hearts of the people gradually. It can't be ignored but some outstanding problems exist, they are influencing the development of villager's autonomy and deepening seriously. Democracy that the politics of China for several thousand years offers to us and autonomy experience are less, western democratic tradition and autonomy history are very long, experienced. So, present Chinese villager's autonomy really can't ignore even ignore western autonomy resources, until no matter at theory or practice, western autonomy can offer reliable reference coordinate and experience and lessons to us.Pateman is a main representative figure of the contemporary participating in type democratic theory of the west, important function in democracy is realized of " participates in " that democratic thought of his participation fully emphasizes, make the quiet democratic theory of participation for a long time rise again, has brought the innovation of the democratic mode. It puts forward one's own a set of view on the basis of responding elite's democratic theory basically want justicing, different from elite's democratic theory, it is not merely limited to describing democratic theoretical passivism, but has contained the recommendation of enthusiasm, has hoped to change the current situation, promote most citizens to participate in the enthusiasm of politics, improve their participation ability.The innovation of Participation democracy and other democratic theories lies in: Person who participate in democratic theory advocate, cancel administrator and demarcation line of administrator, each citizen participates in its area where one stays' management and makes decision to it equally, participating in type democracy is a kind of" autonomy " theory in term of this respect. Participating in politics will have enormous education function on the citizen, participation can improve the self-confidence that individuals participate in politics as to individual; As to society, can increase individual's sense of ownership to the colony while participating in politics, strengthen the cohesiveness of the society, strengthen the loyalty to collective and country; Participate in politics can also fill in individual and vacuum of country, so as to order that is formed by this kind of relation being further firmer, in a word the core of the participating in type democratic theory is said by Pateman the setting-up " society of property of participation ". This kind of innovation is the thought resource that our country is worth drawing lessons from while exploring the rural development route of democracy in grass-roots units.According to democratic construction practice of reform and opening-up over the past 20 years, while building and making great achievement in democratic politics, must see too because the theory realizes some biases on, make democratic construction fail to make the nticipated effect at least. In order to enable China's democratic construction to move forward smoothly, we must review the democratic idea that have, reconsider the way, route and step to realize socialist democracy, foundation question of especially contemporary China's democratic politics.With the gradual promotion of the rural democracy in grass-roots units of our country, peasants' sense of participation has been improved a lot, they have changed the state participated in or not participated in passively in the past, then participate in the transaction management at village level voluntarily. At present, peasants express their will, interests, hope and requirement to country and the society, have already become the general phenomenon more and more, has participated in coming into the political social life of China more and more deeply in peasant's politics, influence the politics of China to make policy. " mode of Wenling " of the original creation of Wenling of Zhejiang among them --The democratic forum becomes the model of political participation of the peasants of our country, is a new development of China's participating in type democracy too.
