众所周知,权力与责任是一对相互依存的矛盾,相伴相随,不可分割。从来就没有无权力的责任,也没有无责任的权力,“不受制约的权力必然导致腐败”。现代管理科学的一个重要内容,就是强调权力与责任的有机融合和相互制约。在现代民主社会,政府要对公民负责已成为普遍认同的观念。责任政府正是适应了这一发展趋势,它是行政权合理运作的策略,体现出了主权在民与依法行政的理念。这一理论模式的建立,对于转型期间我国政府转变思想、实现职能具有重大指导意义。同时责任政府的规制与实践操作,有助于推动我国政府更好地为人民服务和依法行政目的的最终实现。 It is known to all that power and responsibility are a pair of interdependent contradictions that accompany and can not be separated. There has never been no power without responsibility, no power without responsibility, “Uncontrolled power will inevitably lead to corruption ”. An important part of modern management science is to emphasize the organic integration and mutual restraint of power and responsibility. In modern democratic societies, the government’s assumption of citizenship has become a widely accepted concept. Responsible government is adapted to this trend of development. It is a strategy for the rational operation of the executive power and embodies the concept of sovereignty over the people and administration by law. The establishment of this theoretical model is of great guiding significance for the Chinese government to change its thinking and realize its functions during the transition period. At the same time, the regulation and practice of the responsible government help to promote the final realization of our government’s goal of serving the people and administering the country according to law.
