少数民族地区地方政府是地方经济、政治、文化、社会发展的领导者、组织者、管理者和推动者。当前,我国正处于社会转型期,改革正在不断深化,全社会正在努力朝着全面建成小康的目标迈进。本文对马克思主义政权观的理论进行了梳理,分析少数民族地区地方政府治理能力的现状与不足,提出提升少数民族地区地方政府治理能力的对策。 Local governments in ethnic minority areas are leaders, organizers, managers and promoters of local economic, political, cultural and social development. At present, our country is in a period of social transition, the reform is constantly deepening, and the whole society is making every effort toward the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. This paper sorts out the theory of Marxist view on power, analyzes the current situation and insufficiency of local government’s governance abilities in ethnic minority areas and puts forward countermeasures to improve the governance ability of local governments in ethnic minority areas.
