Joint issurance of documents by the Party and the government is one of the policy tools to realize the connection and integration between Party politics and government administration. In the process of state governance in contemporary China, the documents jointly issued by the Party and the government have such internal relations with state legislation as supplementation to governance functions, parallel scope of authority, and mutual transformation of normative content. The joint issuance of documents by the Party and the government is an institutional form to realize the Party's leadership over state power and the integration of the Party and government powers, as well as an important way for the Party to exercise its leadership over legislation. To a certain extent, it makes up for the deficiency of government capacity and the institutional short boards of the national governance system, reduces the cost of formulation of normative documents, and improves the supply efficiency and execution force of the system. At present, it is necessary to carry out theoretical demonstration and institutional arrangement for issues relating to the joint issuance of documents by the Party and the government, such as the scope of competence, identity positioning and recordation and review, within the framework of the system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, so as to avoid the generalization and abuse of joint issuance of documents by the Party and the government and achieve the coordination and balance between political characteristic of the Party's leadership and the normative characteristic of state law. |
