Chinese Modernization of the Rule of Law: Governance Philosophy, Judicial Logic and Practice Review

Abstract

The socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics contains a wealth of practical wisdom in governance, and is a scientific methodology for our comprehensive construction of a socialist country under the rule of law. The Party's 20th National Congress deepened the understanding of the regularity of socialist rule of law construction, and expanded and innovated the practical dimension of socialist rule of law thought with Chinese characteristics. The socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics is not a simple construction of the rule of law theory, but a two-way deepening and sublimation of the rule of law theory and the rule of law practice. China's rapid economic development and long-term social stability have broken the "Huntington paradox", which mainly relies on the following two aspects of the rule of law practice. The first is China's unique grass-roots governance model, which is typically represented by Fengqiao experience and Pujiang experience. Fengqiao experience and Pujiang experience are combined fists, closed-loop measures to solve grassroots conflicts and disputes, and typical experiences in the process of China's rule of law practice. The second is "strict justice" and "fair justice". In judicial practice, it is necessary for judicial justice to guarantee the procedural rights of litigants. As two basic practical concepts in the socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, the concept of grassroots governance and the concept of justice enrich the practical wisdom of the construction of the rule of law in our country and help the transformation of our social governance model.
