摘要
学术界在研究温岭的"民主恳谈会"时都使用了民主的定语。总体上可以把此前的研究概括为三种视角:民主的治理视角、民主的参与视角和民主的制度视角。试图提出一种民主的工具视角来概括"民主恳谈会"的长时段发展,并且通过对民主工具的各种比较,从理论和经验两个层面上阐发"民主恳谈会"的发展机理及其理论与实践意义。提出,现有三种视角所概括的"民主恳谈"的时空范围都非常有限,都没有讨论到选举与民主的内在关系。一种新的民主工具视角既可以在更大的时空范围之内观察"民主恳谈"活动的发展,又可以在一种新的视角下提炼民主化道路的差异。在这种新的视角下,民主是由包括选举在内的一系列工具的复杂组合;在不同的时空背景下,各种工具的开发顺序在一定程度上决定着特定国家在特定发展阶段上的民主化路径与方式。作为一种民主工具的"民主恳谈"活动,虽然是基层党务官员为了提高执政能力而使用的一种工具,但是这种工具的开发也有利于在特定时空范围内激发出其他的民主工具。
The academic circle tends to paste the label of democracy to Wenlin's conference of Democratic Discussion. There are three perspectives for Wenlin, which include perspectives of democratic governance, democratic participation, and democratic institutions. In this article, the author tries to explain the Democratic Discussion through a new perspective of democratic instruments. In a comparative democratic instruments perspective, the author wants to illustrate the theoretic and experiential implications of the Democratic Discussion. Moreover, the author argues that the time and space of the Democratic Discussion gathered up by three perspectives are very limited; all of them don't deal with the inherence relations between election and democracy. A new perspective of democratic instruments can observe democratic discussion in a wider scope, and generalize the different roads to democracy in a new perspective. In this new perspective, democracy is made up of a series of instruments including election; the sequence of instruments development decides the road and style of democracy in some countries and stages. As a kind of democratic instruments, Democratic Discussion is developed by the local party officials for improving the capacity of governance, but it is helpful to blaze other democratic instruments in a specific time and space.
