自治 Self-discipline/Self-control
自己治理自己,包括修養(yǎng)自身德行、約束自己行為、管理自己事務(wù)等含義。在政治上,它屬于“人治”范疇。它要求治理者順應(yīng)形勢(shì)嚴(yán)格管好自己,以身作則,然后帶動(dòng)廣大民眾管好自己及自己的事情,進(jìn)而達(dá)成整個(gè)社會(huì)的良好治理狀態(tài)。近代以來,人們用它與autonomy和self-government對(duì)譯,使“自治”一詞演變?yōu)檎胃拍?,指依?jù)法律規(guī)定,在一個(gè)國(guó)家內(nèi),民族、地區(qū)、團(tuán)體等除了受所隸屬的國(guó)家、政府或上級(jí)單位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)外,行政上相對(duì)獨(dú)立,對(duì)自己的事務(wù)可以獨(dú)立行使一定的權(quán)力,如“地方自治”“民族區(qū)域自治”等。
The ability to control one's self includes cultivating one's mind, controlling one's behavior, and managing one's affairs. Politically, it falls into the category of "rule by man," in which the ruler exercises strict self-discipline and sets an example, so that the people also manage their affairs properly. This leads to positive social governance. In modern times, zizhi (自治) is used as the counterpart of "autonomy" or "self-government," so it has become a political concept. It means that, within a state, ethnic groups, geographic regions and civil groupings have a certain amount of administrative independence while still following national, governmental and organizational regulations, e.g., "local autonomy," and "regional ethnic autonomy."
