中文摘要：

以法治为基础的多元主体共同治理是我国社会治理实践探索的经验总结,也是实践中形成的新要求。作为社会治理的制度创新,多元共治主要包括四大特征：多元主体,开放、复杂的共治系统,以对话、竞争、妥协、合作和集体行动为共治机制,以共同利益为最终产出。多元共治不是政府退出,不是“小政府、弱政府”,而是“小政府、强政府、大社会”的共同治理模式。

英文摘要：

The multi--subject co--governance based on ruling of law is not only the conclusion of exploring praxis within social governance, but also the new requirement set in the process of practicing. As the institutional innovation of social governance, the multi- subject co- governance features as follows： （1） Multiple subjects ; （2） Open and complicated system of co-governance; （3）Co-governance mechanism includes dialogue, competition, compromising, cooperation, and collective actions; and （4） Common interests as the final outcomes. Therefore, multi-subject co-governance does not mean the retreat of public sector. Instead of saying ＂shrinking and sucked government＂, it is rather the collaborative governance model in the sense of ＂small yet strong government and significant society＂.
