透过对公共政策过程中如何通过公民参与的形式来审慎地界定公共利益的认识,可以发现中国民主政治成长和完善的轨迹。在现代民主国家,公共利益的界定过程是一个民主的过程,也就是说必须通过民主的途径来形成公共利益。这一点应该成为公共政策过程中政府行为的指南。中国宪法中对政府征用条款的规定,以及在决策听证中对公民参与的价值的强调,说明中国正在按照公共利益的要求,通过民主的途径来规定公共政策的变迁方向。 By carefully understanding the public interest in the form of public participation in the process of public policy, we can find out the track for the growth and perfection of China’s democratic politics. In modern democracies, the process of defining the public interest is a process of democratization, which means that the public interest must be formed through a democratic approach. This should be a guide to government behavior in public policy. The Chinese constitutional provisions on government expropriation provisions and the emphasis on the value of citizen participation in the decision-making hearings show that China is in the process of democratizing the direction of public policy changes in accordance with the requirements of the public interest.
