摘要
按照传统的政治哲学,合法性是由民主政治或公平原则提供的。其实,还有另外一种合法性——善治。这种观点对传统的合法性理论提出了挑战:一方面,并非所有通过民主政治产生的政府都是完全合法的,因为它可能没有满足善治的要求;另一方面,不经民主政治产生的政府也可能具有某种程度的合法性,因为它满足了善治的要求。因此,一个政府是完全和充分合法的,既要获得人民的同意,也要满足善治的要求。
According to traditional political philosophy, the legitimacy of governments is based on dem- ocratic politics or principle of fairness. Good governance, the paper proposes, is another type of legiti- macy. Such a conception of legitimacy challenges the traditional theory of legitimacy： on the one hand, not all governments established by democracy are fully legitimate, as they may not be in consistent with the requirements of good governance; on the other hand, governments that are not established by democracy can also have legitimacy to some degree, as they meet the requirements of good governance. The paper assumes that a government is fully and adequately legitimate only when it is both agreed by the people and meets the requirements of good governance.
