Cultural Perspective of Realizing the Functions of Socialist Ideology XUE Rong 2009, (8):  12-16.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (934KB) ( )   Ideology is seen as one of the most fundamental characters of culture.Socialist ideology and culture are of a unity of opposites.While ideology is an entity of culture,it also restricts culture.On the other hand,culture is a relatively independent realm.The transition of the core value of culture is realized through ideology,and socialist ideology is reflected on culture.In the same sense,the integrating and permeating functions of ideology will not be well realized without the agency of culture.The reason why socialist ideology and culture can be in such positive relation of mutually complementary and interative lies in the fact that socialist ideology is overlapping with culture to a certain degree.The author points out that the exploration of advanced Marxists have made much contribution for us to refer to and offered us a lot of food for thought.

A Review of Literature on "Participatory Governance" CHEN Sheng-yong, ZHAO Guang-yong 2009, (8):  75-82.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (2350KB) ( )   Participatory governance(PG) is a process in which interested citizens,organizations and government participate in public decision-making,allocation of resources,and cooperation in the process of governance.As a new type of participatory model of governance,PG functions as an application of participatory democracy in governance.Worldwide participatory governance improved the local political ecology,enhanced citizens’ awareness and promoted the local economic and social development.Based on a thorough inspection in PG,the authors hold that this governance model may shed light on China’s "governance reform" and governance innovation.As a "decision-making framework",participatory governance may benefit the government by securing scientific and democratic decision-making,help to reshape the government-citizen relationship,foster civil society,and cultivate "good citizens".The nature of the practice of participatory governance that starts from the local and grass-roots also points to the direction of governance innovation.
