渐进式改革思想是邓小平理论的重要组成部分。本文从改革的性质、改革的初始条件、改革的开创性、改革的风险性和观念更新的长期性等五个方面入手，分析了邓小平摒弃“休克疗法”，选择渐进式改革的内在逻辑。在此基础上，将中国式的渐进改革与前苏联、东欧的渐进改革加以对比，突出邓小平在渐进改革实施策略上的独特性设计。从中反映了邓小平对我国国情的深刻理解和准确把握，以及他对待外国的理论、经验、模式的科学态度。正确的改革道路和科学的实施策略，为我国改革成功奠定了基础。 Gradual reform is an important part of Deng Xiaoping Theory. This article analyzes Deng Xiaoping’s internal logic of abandoning “shock therapy” and choosing gradual reform from five aspects: the nature of the reform, the initial conditions of the reform, the pioneering of the reform, the risks of the reform and the long-term renewal of the concept. On this basis, we will contrast the gradual reform of Chinese style with the gradual reform of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and highlight the unique design of Deng Xiaoping in his gradual reform and implementation strategy. It reflects Deng Xiaoping’s profound understanding and accurate grasp of China’s national conditions as well as his scientific attitude towards foreign theories, experiences and models. Correct reform and scientific implementation strategies have laid the foundation for the successful reform in our country.
