市民社会发展的关键是市民社会自治。市民社会是一种不同于其他社会类型的多元化、自主性的社会,具有经济生活的多元化、独立自主的社会组织、独立自由的公共舆论、理性和契约性的政治文化等特征和社会基础。这不仅能促进中介组织、非盈利组织或第三部门的发展,而且是促进民主政治成长的社会基础。 The key to the development of civil society is civil society autonomy. Civil society is a kind of diversified and autonomous society different from other social types. It has the characteristics and social basis of diversified and independent social organizations, independent and free public opinion, rational and contractual political culture. This can not only promote the development of intermediary organizations, non-profit organizations or the third sector, but also serve as the social basis for promoting the growth of democratic politics.
