随着社会主义市场经济体制的建立和发展,法制建设作为思想政治工作基础内容的呼声越来越高。这反映了新时期的客观需求。因为社会主义市场经济本身就是法制经济,所以思想政治工作在引导社会思潮和社会舆论、教育广大职工时,也必须以法制建设为“先导”。把法制建设列为思想政治工作的重要内容,其作用有三:1、可以使思想政治工作由“虚”变“实”。在思想教育中,用典型案例为载体,以案讲法,分析根源,教育职工,就显得生动、形象、直观,有很强的感染力和说服力,从而促使人们的认识和行为向着正确的方向转化。这种“警示教育”的方法,融大道理于普法之中,一下子就把思想政治工作化远为近,化虚为实,增强了思想政治工作的实效。2、可以使思想政治工作由“软”变“硬”。出现思想政治工作“软”的状况有多方面原因,缺少法制的约束 With the establishment and development of the socialist market economic system, the building of a legal system as the basic content of ideological and political work is getting louder and louder.

This kind of “warning education” approach melts the avenue into the popularization of law, and at one stroke put the ideological and political work far and near to a virtual reality, which enhances the effectiveness of ideological and political work. 2, can make ideological and political work from “soft ” change “hard ”. The emergence of ideological and political work “soft” for many reasons, the lack of legal constraints
