当前的中国,正处于由传统社会向现代社会转型的关键时期。转型期为利益集团的产生提供了客观的社会基础和政治上的可能性。利益集团自身的特点决定了其必然对中国的决策民主化产生深远地影响。然而,利益集团在我国尚无合法地位,对其规制还很缺乏,其积极作用还没得到充分发挥。要想增强我国公众参与、推进决策民主化,政府就必须引导和规范利益集团的政策参与。 At present, China is in a critical period of transition from traditional society to modern society. The transitional period provides an objective social foundation and political possibility for the formation of interest groups. The characteristics of interest groups determine their inevitable impact on the democratization of China’s decision-making. However, interest groups still have no legal status in our country, their regulations are still lacking, and their active roles have not yet been brought into full play. In order to enhance public participation in our country and promote the democratization of decision-making, the government must guide and standardize the policy participation of interest groups.
