在机遇与挑战并存的新时期,中国共产党系统地提出了构建社会主义和谐社会的设想,从指导思想、目标原则和制度路径等方面作了全面的规定,为社会建设的具体推进提供了方向;其中“党委领导、政府负责、社会协同、公众参与”的社会管理格局的确立,把公共治理的理念同和谐社会的构建紧密联系起来。在公平正义理念的指引下,行政改革、社会自组织力的提升、责任机制的重构和公共服务的优化等都同和谐社会的构建密切相关。本刊刊发一组青年学者的笔谈,以期引发对构建和谐社会更深入的学术探讨。 In the new period in which both opportunities and challenges coexist, the Communist Party of China systematically put forward the conception of building a harmonious socialist society and made overall provisions in terms of guiding ideology, objective principles and institutional paths, and provided the direction for the specific promotion of social construction.

This issue of a group of young scholars writing, with a view to triggering a more in-depth academic discussion of building a harmonious society.
