本文从儿童结社、参与立法、参政议政、建言献策、意见表达等方面来分析我国儿童政治参与的现状和主渠道。在立法方面,儿童更多地“作为信息的参与”,为政府决策制定者更好地进行决策提供信息,间接参与立法和政策咨询。儿童入队、青少年入团是我国儿童政治结社的普遍参与方式。我国少年儿童通过入队结社、选举少代会代表等方式间接参与儿童相关事宜的政策制定和执行,并对执行结果进行评估,实现参政议政,少代会、红领巾议事制度是我国少年儿童参与政治过程的主要渠道,也是覆盖面最广的参与途径。在建言献策方面,儿童通过信访制度,或者通过各级政府开设专门的网站,以网络为平台直接“上书”表达民意,发挥作用;现实中因为儿童“上书”得到重视或者实践活动效果不错,进而推广,开设了一些面向儿童群体建言献策的制度渠道。在意见表达方面,除了机构(成人)发起/创设表达和分享的平台让儿童参与外,更多的儿童通过媒体网络表达诉求,以非制度性参与的方式进行意见表达。建议进一步完善儿童制度性间接参与途径,扩大儿童制度性直接参与途径,正确引导儿童非制度性的参与途径,让儿童政治参与总体上呈现健康、积极、稳定的发展态势。
<<This thesis analyzes the status quo and the major channels of Chinese children’s participation in political affairs in various perspectives such as forming association,participating in legislation,offering advice and suggestions,expressing opinions,etc. In terms of legislation,children’s participation is mostly in the form of providing information,i.e. providing information for government decision makers,indirect participation in legislation and policy consultation. Children joining the Young Pioneer and juveniles joining the Youth League are their common ways of participation in political association. Through the association of joining the Young Pioneers and electing representatives attending China Young Pioneers’ Conference and many other activities,Chinese children are indirectly involved in the formulation and execution of the relevant policies and in the evaluation of results,thus realizing the practice of participating in the administration and discussion of state affairs. Young Pioneers Conference and Red Cravat Institution are the major channels for Chinese children to get involved in politics,and the most extensive approaches for political participation as well. In terms of offering advice and suggestions,children may express their opinions through various channels and systems such as letter and visit system,the specific websites run by governments at all levels,etc. In practice,children’s expression of advice and suggestions has received great attention,or has achieved remarkable results through practical activities,so such practices are widely promoted and spread,and thus more systems and channels are created and opened for children to express their advice and suggestions. As for sharing and expressing opinions,besides the platforms and participation events created/founded by (adults) institutes,more children tend to express their appeals and opinions through non-institutionalized means such as media network. The author suggests further improving the institutionalized channels for children’s indirect participation,expanding the institutionalized channels for their direct participation,guiding children to make wise use of the non-institutionalized channels of participation,and thus contributing to the generally healthy,positive and stable development of children’s political participation.
