一个政权兴衰的背后,总有许多规律可寻。“善为政者,务在择人而已。”这就是古代政治家总结出的一条重要的执政规律。中国共产党由“革命党”转变为“执政党”,如何吸取历史的教训,正确把握执政规律,实现“执政为民”的目标,“择人”是一个具有关键性、全局性的问题。中国共产党自执政以来及至现在,还没有完全建立起一套科学、完善、严密的制度体系,“人治”的因素仍然不可避免的发挥着一定的作用。在这种特定的执政环境中,“人”的因素就凸显得更加重要。所以,毛泽东同志早就说过:“政治路线确定之后,干部就是决定的因素。”但是,“择人”问题我们至尽没有解决好,随着开放的全面扩大和市场经济的实行,“用人”制度上的漏洞被一些腐败分子充分利用,跑官要官、买官卖官、任人唯亲等吏治腐败现象日益突出,而且成为许多腐败现象发展蔓延的一个根源。针对这种严峻形势,党的第三代领导核心江泽民同志告戒全党:历史上的腐败现象,为害最烈的是吏治的腐败。由于卖官鬻爵及其带来和助长的其他腐败现象,造成“人亡政息”、王朝覆灭的例子,在中国封建社会是屡见不鲜的。这种历史的教训很值得我们注意。历览古今兴衰事,成败得失在用人。本期聚焦“买官卖官”现象,通过对十起买官卖官案件的解剖分析,希冀引起对新颁布 Behind the rise and fall of a political power, there are always many laws to find. “Good for politics, in choosing people only.” This is an ancient ruler summed up an important rule of law. How to learn from the lessons of history, correctly grasp the law of governing and realize the goal of “governing for the people”? The “choice of people” is a crucial and overall problem. Since its inception, the CPC has not yet completely established a set of scientific, perfect and strict system of institutions. The “rule by man” still inevitably plays a certain role. In this particular governing environment, the “human” factor becomes even more important. Therefore, Comrade Mao Tse-tung said long ago: “After the determination of the political line, the cadres are the decisive factor.” However, we have tried our best to solve the problem of “selecting people.” With the full opening up and the implementation of a market economy, “Institutional loopholes have been fully exploited by some corrupt elements. Official run-off officials, government officials and cronyism officials have become more and more prominent and have become a source of many corrupt practices. In response to this grim situation, Comrade Jiang Zemin, the third-generation leading cadre of the party, has told the entire party: the corrupt phenomenon in history and the worst thing to do are the corruption of official circles. It is not uncommon to find feudal society in China because of the vicissitudes of government officials and other corrupt phenomena that have brought about them and contributed to them. This historical lesson deserves our attention. History of the rise and fall of ancient and modern, success or failure in employment. This issue focuses on the phenomenon of ”buying official and selling official". By analyzing the ten cases of buying and selling officials, we hope to give promulgation of the new announcement
