发 展 过 程

Development Process

 

    北京新时代致公教育研究院1997年1月筹办，1997年6月9日正式成立，历经三个发展阶段。

In accordance to the arrangement in January 1997, Beijing New Era Citizens’ Education Institute was formally established in June 9, 1997 followed by three development stages:

    一是理论研究阶段，这个阶段自1997年6月开始到1999年12月。

First, theoretical research phase: this stage started since June 1997 to December 1999

    在这个阶段，研究院集中时间开展了对中国社会转型的理论研究 。首先对人类的生存发展进行了基本研究，发现了生存发展是人类的最高价值，人类生存发展的基本条件是人类自身的和谐以及外部世界的和谐相处，提出人类必须遵循的最高价值原则是自由、平等、和谐。其次，对社会变迁历史进行了研究，人类发展历经原始自然时期、农耕时期、工商信息时期，与此相对应，社会形态分原始社会、臣民社会、公民社会，在公民社会里，社会主要特征是政治民主化、经济市场化、社会自治化。再次，对中国社会转型进行了研究，中国历史发展时期是从从农耕时期进入到工商信息时期，社会形态是从臣民社会转向公民社会。最后对中国社会转型路径进行了基本研究，认为中国社会转型的基础是公民教育，基本方式扩大公民参与。这些研究成果是研究院进行社会实验的主要理论依据。

At this stage, the main focus for the Institute was on advancing the China’s social transformation theoretical research. First, the Institute started to carry out a basic study and found out that the survival and development of humanity is the highest value in human life. Human survival and development are the basic conditions for human beings and for the harmony in the world; men must follow the principle of the highest values of freedom, equality, and harmony.

Second research was on the study of the history of social change in human development from the primitive period, the farming period, to the period of trade and industry information. Corresponding to this, the form of society can be categorized into the primitive society, subjects of feudal state, and civil society. As for civil society, the main feature for this type of society is political democratization, market economy, and social autonomy.

Third, China's social transformation was studied. From this study, the Institute pointed out that there is a shift in China's historical development period from the period of farming into the period of business information, at the same time the social pattern, the transition from the subjects of feudal society to civil society.

Finally, the Institute carried out a study on the path to China’s social transformation, in which they found out that the measure that will lead to a successful social transformation in China is through civil education, the basic way to expand citizen participation. Results from all of these studies later have become the fundamental theory for New Era Institute.

    二是社会实验阶段，这个阶段自1999年12月到2003年12月。

Second, social experimental stage: this stage started since December 1999 to December 2003.

    在这个阶段，研究院的核心工作的进行基层民主自治实验，其基本目标是寻找推动社会转型的基本道路。在这个时期分别在湖北沙洋、北京东城区、北京石景山区进行了沙洋农村基层民主自治实验、东城区九道湾社区民主选举、石景山鲁谷城市基层管理改革实验。这些社会实验推动了中国民主化进程其中九道湾社区民主选举影响最大，被民政部评为2002年度十大靓点事件，引起了时任联合国秘书长安南的高度关注，被国内外媒体广泛报道，有力的推动了中国基层民主发展。在这个阶段，研究院总结出了推动中国社会转型的基础路径是通过公民教育提升公民意识、通过公民行动扩大公民参与、通过公民社会扩张实现社会安全转型，找到了在保持社会稳定条件下，加速社会转型的基本方式。

At this stage the core work for the Institute focused on implementation of the grass-roots democracy and autonomy experiments, and its basic objective is to find ways to promote the path to social transformation. During this phase, ‘Shayang rural grass-roots democracy and autonomy’ experiment, ‘Dongcheng District Nine Bay Community Democratic Election’, and ‘Shijingshan village-urban grass-roots Management Reform’ experiment were carried out in Shayang, Hubei province; Beijing’s Dongcheng District; and Beijing’s Shijingshan District, respectively. These social experiments were set up as means to promote China's democratization process, in which the Nine Bay Community Democratic election was the most effective and seen as the most successful project done by the Ministry of Civil Affairs for the year 2002. This aroused the United Nation’s Secretary-General Kofi Annan a high-degree of attention. The experiment was widely reported by the media, both at home and abroad. This was seen as one of the powerful impetus for the development of China's grass-roots democracy.

 

Institute summed up that the path for the promotion of China's social transformation should be based on this: through civil education this will enhance civil awareness for the people; through civic actions this will expand citizen participation, and through the expansion of civil society this will lead to successful social security restructuring, found in maintaining social stability under the conditions of the basic speed up social transformation way.

      

             

    三是倡导发展阶段，这个阶段自2003年12月开始。

Third is the development advocacy stage, which has begun since December 2003 until recent.

    这个阶段，研究院把理论研究和社会实验成果开始运用到推动社会全面转型之中去，将加大政策倡导、公民教育、危机干预、和谐示范区等方面工作力度，力求为中国社会转型做出积极贡献。根据世界其他国家转型经验，当人均GDP在1000美元和3000美元之间，社会冲突加剧，社会转型速度加快。中国发展也未能例外，2003年，中国人物GOP起过1000美元,自2003年开始中国进入社会转型关键时期，社会矛盾增加冲突加剧，调和社会矛盾推进社会治理变革，通过制度创新完成社会转型成为社会的核心任务，否则中国有可能走上“拉美化”之路，有可能长期处于停滞不前甚至倒退的危险。坚守我们的价值观，坚持在保持社会稳定的条件下推进社会转型，是新阶段我们研究院的核心任务。通过对转型的关键时期的社会特点的研究和实验，研究院提出了推动社会转型的基本原则是责任、理性、建议性。至此，研究院完成了对中国社会转型的目标说明、道路探索、实践原则。2006年研究院与北京市京鼎律师事务所共同组建了和谐实验河北容城项目组，通过努力基本解决了14年前遗留的土地争议问题，用社会实践说明在社会进入转型加速时期时，通过公民教育、公民行动、公民社会的道路，坚持责任、理性，建设性实践原则，可以解决中国社会转型中的实际问题，可以以建立一个民主化、市场化、自治化的现代社会，可以建立一个共有、共建、共享的和谐社会。

      

This stage, the Institute has begun to use the results from theoretical research and social experiments to promote overall social restructuring by means of policy advocacy, civil education, crisis intervention, harmonious Demonstration Zone, and so on, in order to strive for a positive contribution to China’s social transformation. According to the transition experiences of other countries in the world, when the GDP per capita reaches between 1000 to 3000 USD, around this time the social transformation would accelerate, however at the same time this would exacerbate social conflicts as well.  China's development also failed under this exception. In 2003, China GDP figures reached 1000 USD, since then, China has entered a crucial period of social transition. This has also increased social contradictions which in turn, intensified the social conflicts in the country. Reconciliation of the social contradictions is needed as a push for the change in social governance. The social transformation can be complete through the institutional reformation, which will become the core duty of the society; otherwise, China may embark on the "Latin American" way and it is possible that in a long-term China may risk facing stagnation and retrogression.

 

Adhere to our values, persistence in maintaining social stability under the condition of the promotion of the social transformation is a new phase of the Institute’s core mission.

According to researches and experiments based on society characteristics during the social transformation, the Institute proposed that basic principles for the promotion of the social transformation are responsibility, rationality and proposition. So far, the Institute has completed interpreting objectives of China’s social transition and also explored the ways and put the principles into practice in order to achieve the goal of China’s social reconstruction. In 2006 the Institute and Beijing’s Kingdom Law Firm co-set up Harmony Experimental Hebei Rong Cheng Project, which basically solved the remaining land disputes that lasted for 14 years. According to social practice explanation, when the society enters the accelerating reforming period,

 

 

Through civil education, the citizen movement, civil society's path, assertion of responsibility,  rationality, and the constructive practice principles, this may solve the Chinese society reforming actual problems. Also this may lead to the establishment of democratic, market-oriented and autonomous modern society. This may lead to the creation of a common, jointly built, harmonious society.

 

项 目 介 绍

Project Introduction

    北京新时代致公教育研究院正式成立以来，根据不同阶段的工作需要陆续开发了一些项目，虽然不同的阶段工作重心不一样，项目重心也有所侧重，但这些项目种类都基本上被保留了下来，都在延续之中。这些项目大致分七类。

Since the official establishment of Beijing New Era Citizens’ education Institute, the Institute has developed several projects, one after another, according to job demands occurred in different periods. All of these projects are continuously carrying out. Although the focus of different stage work is dissimilar, they all stress on the same point. They can be divided into 7 categories:

1、理论研究

1. Theoretical research

    理论研究项目包括社会转型理论体系和和谐理论体系。社会转型理论体系研究主要集中在研究院的第一个阶段，后来基本上处于补充修订之中。和谐理论体系则是从倡导发展时期开始的。社会转型理论研究成果包括《公民及公民主义》（周鸿陵，后以《呼唤公民社会》为题，2000年发表于《工人日报》），《公民时代想和做》（周鸿陵，2000年发于www.univillage.org），《关于政治改革对话》（茅于轼、周鸿陵，1999年6月《南风窗》杂志），《第三次农村包围城市》（周鸿陵，民政部收进《1999年度农村基层民主政治建设资料汇编》。此后，在社会实验阶段和倡导发展阶段没有组织过专项理论研究，针对基层民主自治和社会转型实践原则有一部分论述，包括《社区居民自治：现代城市治理模式的奠基石》（周鸿陵、王时浩，2002年刊发于《山东大学学报》），《通往政治文明之路》（周鸿陵，2002年刊发于《经济观察报》），《青年如何参与社会转型》（周鸿凌，2005年刊发《新时代》内部交流刊物）、《和谐需要第三方》（周鸿陵，2006年发刊于《民间》）、《捍卫法治反对民粹》（张星水、周鸿陵，2007年4月首发于人民网）。在进入发展倡导阶段后，研究院组织了由宋旭民牵头的和谐理论研究，先后发表了《和谐宣言》（宋旭民，2005年网络刊发）、《和谐论》（宋旭民，2006年网络刊发）等文，力主创建以和谐思想为中心的和谐理论体系。以后，研究院将在适当时间里出版《新时代理论文选》、《社会转型理论文集》、《和谐理论文集》。

The fundamental research project includes information on social reforming system and harmonious system. Social transition theory study mainly concentrated in the first phase of the Institute, later it basically focuses in supplementary revision period. Harmony Theory system is initiated from the beginning of the development stage. Study in social transition theory results in "Gongmin ji gongmin zhuyi” [Citizens and Civil] (Zhou Hongling, after "Huhuan Gongming Shehui” [A Call for Civil Society] as its theme, published in the "Gongren Ribao” [Worker's Daily], 2000), "Gongmin Shidai Xian he Zuo” [Citizens times and What They would like to do] (Zhou Hongling, 2000 , in the www.univillage.org), "Guanyu Zhengzhi Gaige hua” [A Dialogue on Political Reform] (Mao, Zhou Hongling, June 1999, "Nanfengchuang" [South Wind Window] magazine), "Disanci Nongcun Baowei Chengshi” [The Third time for the countrysides to encircle the cities] (Zhou Hongling, the Home Division into “Year 1999 Rural Grass-roots Democracy Compilation information." Since then, in the social experimental stage and development advocacy stage, the Institute did not put a special emphasis on the theoretical research, rather, the Institute targeted at self-government and social transformation principles which is the main part of grass-root democracy practice. The publications issued during this stage include, “Shequ Jumin Zhitai: Xiandai Chengshi Taili Moshi de Dianjishi” [Society residents’ autonomy: The foundation stone of Modern Urban Governance] (Zhou Hongling, Wang Hao, published in the" Journal of Shandong University, 2002)，“Tongwang Zhitai Wenming Zhilu” [The Road to the Political Civilization] (Zhou Hongling, published in “Jingji Guancha Bao” [Economic Observer Newspaper], 2002) “Qingnian Ruhe Canyu Shehui Zhuanxing” [Youth Participation in Social Transformation] (Zhou Hongling, published in “Xin Shidai” [New Era], internal exchange publication, 2005), “Hexie Xuyao Disanfang” [Harmony needs the Third-party] (Zhou Hongling, published in “Min Jian” , 2006), and “Hanwei Fatai Fandui Mincui” [Defend rules of law, Oppose popular indignation] (Zhang Xingshui, Zhou Hongling, published on the internet in PRC in April, 2007). Entering the stage of development advocacy, the Institute organized by Xu Song Min-led harmony theoretical research, and has published "Declaration of Harmony" (Xu Song Min, published in 2005 on the internet),"The theory of Harmony"(Xu Song Min, published in 2006 on the internet, the content of the text calls for the creation of a harmonious thinking which is the centre harmony theoretical system. In the future, at the appropriate time the Institute will publish the "Selected Works of the New Era", "Selected Works of Social Transformation", and "Harmony Theory Collection."

 

2、政策倡导

2. Policy Advocacy

    政策倡导是研究院在进入倡导发展阶段的重要工作，是实现社会动员和社会组织的重要工具，在转型过程中壮大健康力量必须做的工作。在研究院十年来的工作中也进行过政策倡导的尝试。2001年1月－3月，在《工人日报》的支持下，组织全国政协委员向全国第九届政协会议第三次全国会议送交提案，建议在《国民经济社会发展第十个五年计划纲要》中增加“开展公民教育”的内容，明确把公民教育的纳入基础教育的轨道。2005年研究院与北京慧灵助残机构、北京市京鼎律师事务所设计、开发了民间组织建议修改《残障法》有关条文的项目。2007年4月，研究院与北京市京鼎律师事务所，联合组织了反对民粹主义的讨论，发表了《捍卫法律反对民粹》（张星水、周鸿陵）文章，表明了负责任的推进社会变革的基本主场。现在，研究院正在组建政策研究项目团队，针对社会转型中存在的问题进行政策发言、政策建议。

    The policy advocacy period is when the Institute has started to work on the policy promotion. It is an important tool for the realization of social mobilization and community organization. It is a powerful force that needed during the social transition process. Over the past 10 years there has been numerous attempts call on for policy advocacy at the Institute. From January to March 2001, with the support of “Gongren Ribao” [Worker’s Daily], one of the CPPCC National Committee member delivered he proposal to the nation ninth political consultative conference third national conference, suggested that increases “carries out the civic education” the content in "National economy Social development Tenth Five-year plan Summary", making clear that civil education should be integrated into the track of basic education. In 2005, the Institute, Beijing Huiling Zhucan Institute and Beijing’s Jing Ding Law Firm designed and developed suggestions related to civil society organization, as to revise the articles related to “Method of Physical disabilities” project. April 2007, the Institute and Beijing’s Jing Ding Law firm, jointly organized an opposition to the discussion of populism and issued a "Defend the Law against Populist" (Zhang Xingshui, Zhouhongling) article to promote the fundamental social transformation arena. Now, the Institute is established policy research project team, in view of social transition problems that exist in a policy statement of policy recommendations

3、公民教育

3. Civil Education

    公民教育是研究院推动社会转型的核心工具和基础工作，研究院的所有活动都是以公民教育为基础的，同时也多次单独策划和实施了公民教育推广项目，包括2000年编写了提升公民意识的《呼唤公民社会》书稿，2001年开发了公民教育网络，2003年7月－2003年12月，在上海市闸北区芷江西街进行了公民参与培训项目等等。2005年10月－12月在研究院内部开展了两期期公民教育师资培训班。2006年12月正式启动了公民远程教育项目，包括在网络上设立公民教育版块，在上海、石家庄、邢台、保定、广州、山东巨野等地设立公民远程教育学习小组等，编辑公民教育的学习期刊《学习通讯》，努力通过网络建设、平面媒介，学习点建设，形成一个公民教育学习服务体系，加速实现公民教育推广计划。

Institute sees the promotion of civil education is one of the core social transformation tools and basic work. Thus, all the activities of the Institute are taken civil education as a foundation, but also simultaneously many of the plans and implementations are that of to promote civil education projects. These include the compilation of the 2000 Civil upgrade awareness manuscript "Call of civil society" manuscript, the development of civil education network in 2001, and training program for Shanghai citizens in the west Zhijiang, Zhabei district in July to December 2003. In October to December 2005, the Institute launched two series of citizen educational teacher training classes. In December 2006, citizen long-distance education projection was formally initiated, including the establishment of civil education network, for instance there were long-distance education learning groups established in Shanghai, Shijiazhuang, Xingtai, Baoding, Guangzhou,  and Shandong. These groups do some edition for the civic education study periodical "Study Communication", by adopting the network construction, graphic media, and a study construction. This forms a firm structure of civil education study services and accelerates the realization of the civic education promotional plan.

4、民主自治

4. Democracy and Autonomy

    民主自治是研究院在社会实验阶段的核心工作，在倡导发展阶段民主自治仍将作为一个重要项目继续保存下来。在社会实验阶段研究院集中了大量的资源进行了一些民主自治项目，包括2000年9月在加拿大国际开发署公民社会项目、美国福特基金会资助下，在湖北沙洋县政府支持下，在湖北沙洋进行了基层民主自治实验（这些实验被媒体称为天村实验）。2002年5月－2002年12月在加拿大国际开发署公民社会项目资金资助下，在政府有关支持下，在北京东城区九道湾进行了北京市第一个社区民主选举试验。2002年明至2003年8月，参与北京石景山区鲁谷社区（街道办事处级）体制创新的研究和实验。2003年3月至2003年8月，在北京市东城区九道湾社区进行社区自治治理实验。2003年9月至2003年12月，进行北京市区县人大代表选举项目，推动公民自荐参与区县人大代表竞选。2005年在加拿大国际开发署公民社会项目资助下，进行了社区治理经验分享项目。2006年4月至2007年4月，在河北邢台，河北保定进行区县人大代表候选人培训和助选项目。以后研究院仍然会从事一些民主自治的项目。

The democracy autonomous is when the Institute is at the social experimental stage’s core work. During the development promotion stage, democracy and autonomy is still as an important project that should continue to preserve. At the social experiment stage, the Institute had gathered large resources for several democracy and self-government projects, including in the September 2000 Canadian International Development Agency’s civil society project, funded by American Ford Foundation, in support of a grass-roots democracy and autonomy experiment in Hubei Shayang County in Hubei, Shayang (this experiment was named by the media as ‘Tian Cun’ [a Day Village] experiment). End of 2002 to August 2003, the Institute participated in institutional innovations research and experiments in Beijing Shijingshan Lugu District Community (street-level offices). From March to August, 2003, the Community Self-governance experiment was held in Nine Bay Community, Dongcheng District Beijing．In September 2003 to December 2003, Beijing Municipal National People’s Congress Deputy Election project was launched to prompt citizens to run for Municipal National People’s Congress Deputy Election. Shared Government Experiment project was preceded in 2005 with the funds from the Canadian International Development Agency. From April, 2006 to April, 2007, Candidate training and support project for National People’s Congress Deputy Election was carried out in the town of Xingtai and Baoding, Hebei Province. There are more democracy and autonomous projects that the Institute wish to engage in the future.

 

5、转型论坛

5. Transformation Forum

    转型论坛是由研究院和北京市京鼎律师事务所合作的项目，是一个长期的公益的会议组织，现在社会转型论坛已进行了十四期，论坛主题包括经济体系改革、政治体系改革、公民参与、危机干预等等，并定期组织、评选、发布影响社会转型的年度事件。

The transformation forum project is the project launched by the cooperation of the Institute and the Bejing’s Jing Ding Law Firm. It is a long-term organizational meeting and At the moment, the Social transformation forum has preceded 14 series altogether. The topics include economic reforms, political reforms, citizen participation, crisis intervention, and so forth. The topics are regularly organized and carefully select which tend to cover all releases of influential social transformation that occur annually.

6、危机干预

6. Crisis Intervention

    危机干预是研究院在倡导发展阶段的基本项目之一，项目的目标是通过协商、谈判的方式，来解决社会冲突，并促进社会治理的制度创新。2006年1月至2006年6月，研究院与北京市京鼎律师事务所合作组建了和谐实验容城项目组，对河北容城县王家营土地问题进行调研、协商，创造了民间组织协商解决社会冲突的个案。2006年7月至8月完成了河北黄骅港渔沟村三节汪子问题的项目调研和解决方案的制定。2007年3月15日研究院与北京市京鼎律师事务所合作组建了和谐实验禹州项目组，开始了对河南禹州市水泥企业关停问题的协商调查处理。社会进入转型关键时期后，矛盾增多、冲突加剧是一个重要社会现象，通过依法、有序、谈判、协商将有助于缓解社会矛盾促使社会安全转型，该类项目将是研究院未来的社会实践的重要组成部分。

Crisis intervention project is one of the Institute basic projects during the development advocacy stage. The goal of this project is to find solutions for social conflicts and to advance social management system innovation through the form of communication and negotiation. From January 2006 until June 2006, with the cooperation of Beijing’s Jing Ding Law firm, the Institute formed a Harmony Rong city project team, to investigate and discuss about the land dispute at the Royal Camp, Rong City, Hebei province. This is to create non-governmental discussion among the locals to solve social conflict cases. In July to August 2006 the ‘Sanjie Wangzi’ problem at Huanghua Port, Yugou Village in Hebei Province was solved through a series of investigation and study. On March 15, 2007 the Institute and Beijing’s Jing Ding Law firm formed a Harmonious experiment project team in Yuzhou, Henan Province, and began to examine and find ways to handle the shutting down of Cement enterprise situation in Yuzhou, through consultation and negotiation. As the society enter the crucial period of transition, the number of contradictions increase. Aggravation of conflicts is seen as an important social phenomenon. Through law, order, negotiation, and consultation will help alleviate social contradictions, and lead to social security restructuring. Therefore, such projects are seen as an important part of the future for social practice in the Institute’s eye.

7、和谐示范区建设

7. Harmonious demonstration model

    和谐示范区建设项目是研究院于2006年启动的新项目种类，项目的目标是在一定的区域内通过公民教育、公民行动和公民社会培育，以责任、理性、建设性的方式，对社会进行整体动员整体推进，在一定的区域内真正的实现“民主法治、公平正义、诚心友爱、充满活力、人与自然和谐相处”的具有民主化、市场化、自治化的现代化的和谐社会。现在在河北邢台、河北正定、河北容城已开始进行项目启动的准备工作。

The 2006 newly launched project for the Institute is the Harmonious demonstration model. The project’s goal is to promote civil education, citizen action and civil society development, following with responsibility, rationality, and constructive way of thinking in a certain region. From this, it will lead the whole society an overall mobilization and overall progress. Implementing this kind of model in a certain region there would certainly lead to a genuine realization of “democracy, rule of law, equity, justice, sincerity, amity, vitality, and harmony between man and nature", a fulfillment of a democratic, market-oriented, modern and autonomous, harmonious society. Currently, the Institute has already begun the preparatory work for launching the project in the city of Xingtai, Zhengding and Rong cheng in Hebei province.
