十八届三中全会立足于我国发展现状,创造性地提出要推进国家治理体系现代化和国家治理能力现代化,并首次提出“社会治理”这一全新执政理念。在表明“大政府小社会”时代即将结束的同时,也向我们提出了在国家这个政治统治工具还需长期存在的情况下,如何实现社会治理的新课题。而马克思的社会与国家理论对于我们今天重新审视社会与国家的关系,实现社会治理依然具有重大的指导意义。 The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, based on the status quo in China’s development, creatively proposed to modernize its state governing system and state governance capabilities and first proposed a new governing philosophy of “social governance.” While demonstrating that the era of “big government and small society” is coming to an end, we have also proposed to us a new task of how to realize social governance in the long-term existence of the country’s political governing instrument. However, Marx’s social and state theories still have great guiding significance for us to re-examine the relationship between the society and the state and realize social governance today.
