中文摘要：

政策制定能力是党的执政能力的一个重要内容。当今的中国面临两个非常值得关注的问题：一是执政党如何更民主地设定政策议程,二是执政党如何更科学地制定政策。英国长期执政的工党的政策制定体制改革经验具有一定的借鉴价值。在重点介绍英国工党全国政策论坛、政策委员会、政策循环的设立背景及其作用的基础上,建议完善我国执政党政策制定体制：为公众意见纳入执政党政策议程提供制度化的渠道;提高政策酝酿阶段的透明性,鼓励适度公开的政策讨论;设立新型的政策分析机构。

英文摘要：

Policy making capacity is essential to a ruling party.There are two challenges for the ruling party in China： how to set policy agenda democratically,and how to formulate policies scientifically.Basing on an introduction of the reform of British Labor Party,especially its new National Policy Forum,Policy Committees and Policy Development Cycle,three points were suggested to improve the policy making of the ruling party in China： to provide institutionalized channels for public participation in agenda setting,to improve transparency of policy formulation by encouraging moderate public debate,and to innovate think tanks for deliberative policy analysis.
