(1) On the subject of publicity, the scope of government affairs publicity is greater than that of government information publicity. "Government information" refers to "information produced or obtained by administrative organs in the process of performing administrative functions, recorded and preserved in a certain form". It can be seen that the main body of government information disclosure is the administrative organ, and its scope is clear and specific. The main body of "open government affairs" includes not only state administrative organs, but also state power organs and other organs. Therefore, in the subject of disclosure, the scope of government affairs disclosure is greater than that of government information disclosure.
(2) On the object, the openness of government affairs includes the process, while the openness of government information emphasizes the result. The object of "openness of government affairs" should include the operation of public power in the whole country, including the whole process of decision-making, implementation, management, service and results. "Government information" only refers to the static information of the operation of administrative power and the static information obtained during the operation of administrative power.
(3) The openness of government affairs and government information embodies different characteristics of information disclosure.
From the scope of subject and object, although some contents of government information disclosure do not belong to the information category of government information disclosure, the scope of subject and content of government information disclosure is larger than that of government information disclosure, so its functions are not the same.
From the practice of public work in recent years, government information disclosure pays more attention to the traceability of administrative process, that is, the whole process of performing duties is restored from a series of information generated by administrative organs at various stages of performing duties, reflecting the traceability of publicity; The openness of government affairs can better reflect the administrative process, which is the whole chain openness from the source to the result, reflecting the immediacy of openness.
The significance of open government affairs is reflected in the following aspects:
1, the openness of government affairs embodies the purpose of building the party for the public and governing for the people, and promotes the construction of the party's ruling ability and advanced nature.
2. Openness of government affairs is an important measure for our party to thoroughly implement the mass line and realize, safeguard and develop the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. 3. The openness of government affairs conforms to the needs of developing the socialist market economy and promotes the perfection of the socialist market economic system.
4. Openness of government affairs meets the requirements of developing people's democracy and promotes the construction of socialist political civilization. The openness of government affairs is the basic work of upholding and developing people's democracy and building socialist political civilization under the new situation.
5. Openness of government affairs has solved many social contradictions and promoted the construction of a harmonious socialist society. The openness of government affairs provides institutional guarantee for the party's work style construction and promotes the change of leading cadres' work style.
