王芝华、曾长秋在《湖南师范大学社会科学学报》2008年第6期撰文认为,执政安全是指政党在执政过程中具备防范、抵御和化解风险的足够能力,从而保持稳固的执政地位。党的先进性建设与党的执政安全具有内在统一性,加强党的先进性建设是维护党的执政安全的合法性基础和前提,是维护 Wang Zhihua and Zeng Changqiu (Journal of Social Science of Hunan Normal University, 2008, No.6, 2008) argue that ruling security refers to the ability of political parties to have the ability to guard against, resist and resolve risks in the process of governing, so as to maintain a firm ruling position. The building of the advanced nature of the party is in line with the party’s governance and security. Strengthening the building of the party’s advanced nature is the legal basis and premise for safeguarding the party’s ruling security.
