Abstract
Any social phenomenon has its cultural background and social environment. As a widespread social phenomenon,corruption is also related to social and cultural factors. Therefore,to prevent corruption not only needs the appropriate systems and mechanisms,but also needs the co-ordination of cultural factors. When the task of clean government cultural construction is proposed,it reflects people’s cultural needs in anti-corruption,and also reflects the relationship between people and culture. Cultural factors can become internalized into people’s thoughts and ideas. When clean government culture is accepted and supported by people,corruption will be difficult to breed and spread,and will be effectively curbed. It is why the clean government cultural construction is so special. On the basis of profoundly analyzing the theoretical meaning of clean government cultural construction,this book evaluates the situation of clean government culture and clean government cultural construction in Jilin province by empirical research methods. Learning from the advanced experience of foreign countries,this book proposes the basic strategies of clean government cultural construction in Jilin province.
The first part(Chapter 1)describes a series of related theories of clean government cultural construction. In the ancient Chinese,the original meaning of “clean” refers to the side of the main room,and then it’s extended that officials should have some basic moral characters like integrity,justice,innocence and incorruptibility. “Politic” means the use of public power. Therefore,the “clean government culture” contains at least two meanings. On the one hand,the main focus is organizations and individuals who control the public power;on the other hand,the basic content includes four aspects:clean but not graft;fair but not partial;frugal but not extravagant;public but not hide. There are four characteristics of the clean government culture. They are historical inheritance,specific class nature,distinct epochal character and advanced ideology. The clean government cultural construction is based on kinds of activities and measures. It integrates all the key elements into a whole with the power of culture. The content of clean government cultural construction mainly includes four aspects:the spirit,the system,the behavior and the substance.
The second part(Chapter 2-3)evaluates the condition of clean government culture and clean government cultural construction in Jilin province. Based on the theoretical analysis in Chapter 1,Chapter 2 designs a set of “index system of clean government culture”,by which we measure the status of clean government culture in Jilin province by empirical research methods. Then we analyze the source of the lack of clean government culture in Jilin province from three aspects,such as traditional cultural dross,the disorder of reality culture and the culture defect of the regional culture. Chapter 3 sets out the historical evolution of clean government cultural construction both in the whole country and in Jilin province. Then it compares three sets of survey data respectively from “survey on incorruptible education for leaders in Jilin province”,“survey on clean government cultural construction in Jilin province” and “survey on Langtaosha Website”. On the basis of comparative analysis of the survey results,it analyses the effectiveness and shortcomings of the clean government cultural construction in Jilin province.
Finally,the third part(Chapter 4-5)proposes the strategies of clean government cultural construction in Jilin province. In order to clarify the basic strategy of clean government cultural construction,to draw on a wide range of existing experience of the ancient and modern is needed. Chapter 4 shares the experience of clean government cultural construction from Ancient China and foreign countries,like Finland,the United Kingdom,the United States,Japan,and Singapore. Based on all the experience above,Chapter 5 proposes the strategies of clean government cultural construction in Jilin province,such as constructing social overall political culture,constructing clean government culture in the Northeast China,constructing clean government culture on the administrative organization,cultivating clean consciousness for administrative individuals,and so on.
