論建設社會主義法治國家中的地方

On the Local Government in Building the Rule of Law in A Socialist Country

實現“建設社會主義法治國家”的憲法目標，地方的意義不可替代。實踐中，地方既表現出法治建設的積極性，也呈現出一些問題，其原因在于國家治理結構中的地方雙重角色。建設社會主義法治國家應以國家全面法治為目標。為此，必須重視地方的獨特功能，從制度上塑造和規範地方自主。作為動態平衡過程的央地關係，應當以建構基于規則的、更具穩定性的法治秩序作為出發點與評價標準。著眼于憲法的規範體系，在中央層面，應當明確“中央統一領導”的規範內涵；在地方層面，應當為地方的主動性和積極性提供制度保障，形成民主的地方治理結構與自我負責的理念。

To achieve the aim of ''building the rule of law in a socialist country'', local governments play a crucial role. in practice, local governments take the main responsibility to implement the law and at the same time present some problems, which lie in the dual role of local governments in the structure of governmental regulation. The goal of building the rule of law requires the rule of law in the whole country. To this end, it is necessary to attach importance to the unique function of local governments and shape the local institutional autonomy. As the relationship between central and local in the process of dynamic balance, we should take the construction of rules-based and more stable legal order as the starting point and evaluation standard. From the normative system of the Chinese Constitution, the meaning of ''central unified leadership'' should be clearly defined. At the local level, institutional guarantees should be provided for local initiatives.
