The Comparison Of Vietnam, Laos, North Korea And Cuba's Religious Policies

According to the century situation's new change, how to adjust and transform the religious policy, which can create a good and stable environment inside and outside for the consolidation of socialism political system and the economic development, is an important issue of the proletariat party. So it is necessary to study and explore socialist countries'religious policies in theory, which also has practical significance. As far as the formulation and implementation of the four countries'religious policies, there are many outstanding experiences that can be shared in China's ethnic and religious work, and the deficiency is also worth us using for reference.Globalization is an unavoidable context to study the religious policies of the contemporary socialist countries. So this paper is based on the grand background of increasing globalization, and combines the four countries'socialist realism such as political, economic, cultural and other aspects. I will make a large-scale comparison of the four countries'religious policies, hoping that this research can provide some theoretical information to this topic; So as to provide reference and guidance for our country's religious policy, I will make experience summary as the end in addition to grasp the general and special laws in the four countries'religious policies. Because the information obtained is limited, and the evolution of socialist countries'religious policies is quite complex, there is a difficulty in comparing the four countries'religious policies from a horizontal perspective. My article will narrate separately according to the nationality and summarize at end.With the logic thinking and frame design above, this paper will do comparison from three aspects:the background of the four countries'religious policies, the religious policies and legislative practices, and the results of the four countries'religious policies. Specifically speaking, the main points this paper contains are as follows:Introduction section:to give a brief introduction of the main reasons and values of this study, the current situation of this topic, the innovation and deficiency, and raise the theme of this paper.The first chapter is a perspective of the background of the four countries'religious policies. It mainly introduces the four countries'religious beliefs, hot religious issues, and the American element behind ethnic and religious issues. It also analyzes the geographical, cultural, political, economic and other factors home and abroad that affect the formation and evolution of the four countries'religious policies. This chapter will provide the necessary historical background for the later comparative study:the four countries'religions are complex and diverse, and the ethnic and religious issues can not be ignored; there are still some discordant factors in the ethnic relations and church-state relations,; the US-led western countries pick faults in human rights from time to time; factors behind the religious policies are multi-dimensional, the role of religion is not only confined to its own, the national security, political, economic, cultural, historical and other factors are often included in it, the four countries have both the similarities and differences on the surrounding environment and the international environment, the domestic reform and development reality, and the summary of lessons to Soviet Union and Eastern counties.The second chapter is the interpretation of the four counties'religious policies and legislative practices. To study the common laws and differences in this area, I mainly introduce the four counties'theories and policies to deal with religious issues, the historical evolution and the legislative status of religious policies:the four countries' church-state relations has changed from tension to relaxation; the four countries' religious policies have "difference involved in the similarity, and similarity involved in the difference", the principles and measures to manage religious affairs reflected the unity of principle and flexibility, and adaption to the major policies of the four countries; the four countries'management of religious affairs is gradually legalized.The third chapter is the evaluation of the effects of the four countries'religious policies. After the analysis and comparison of the achievements and challenges of the four countries'religious policies, I will make a comprehensive thinking of the generalities and individualities of the four countries'religious policies and summarize their experiences:the four countries'religious policies obtain their own theoretical achievements and practical results, which reflects the nationalization and modernization of religious policy; ethnic and religious issues are still a difficult and sensitive problem for the four countries, and there are still many difficulties and challenges in the four countries'church-state relations, the maintenance of religion independence, the treatment of West's peaceful evolution, and the management of religion according to law; there are a lot of experiences we can learn about the basic principles in dealing with religious issues and the Catholic leadership from the four countries; the four countries implement the policies of religious freedom, and pay attention to ideological education at the same time, the results achieved from the four countries'ideological construction are worth our consideration and reference.The forth chapter is the theoretical reflection after the comparison of the four countries'religious policies and the implications for China. On the basis of experience summary, I will make a theoretical reflection on the importance of china's religious work, and make a deep thinking about the implementations of our country's religious work from the perspective of the construction of socialism and socialist ideology. The comparison of the four counties'religious policies provides us with theory reflections and practice revelations. Reflections on the theory include:(1)Religion and socialism-a strategic issue of the overall situation of socialist countries.(2)Religion and the ruling party of socialist countries-a major issue related to the destiny of Proletarian parties.(3)Religion and the world peace-a hot issue concerned by international society in the era of globalization. The implications for China include:(1)Regard the contemporary development of Chinese religions based on the "question consciousness".(2)Perfect the "adaptation theory" and the "guidance theory" unceasingly, and promote society harmony by the religion harmony.(3)Maintain the multiple beliefs, and formulate the"big cultural strategy" which brings honor to the Chinese culture and diverse culture included.(4)Insist the multiply orientation of believes and the unification of guiding principle, guide each kind of ethos by socialism values with Chinese characteristics.(5)Implement the socialism core value system, and increase the appeal and cohesive power of Socialist ideology. It mainly contains:the issue of university students'religious beliefs and political belief education, the issue of Party members' religious beliefs and Advanced Education, the issue of farmers'religious beliefs and religion reconstruction.
