摘要： 现代西方政党研究发端于议会民主实践，以政党代表社会某一部分、政党之间相互竞争为预设，在本质上把政党界定为部分，难以有效解释中国共产党和中国的政治实践。与这一谱系相并行，尚有一条长期被排除于西方政党研究之外的思想脉络，它自马克思、恩格斯提出共产党人“没有任何同整个无产阶级的利益不同的利益”的原初命题起，围绕无产阶级政党的整体性质持续展开，构成政党理论的重要起点。整体性政党概念正是这一脉络与中国共产党的实践相结合的产物，它将中国共产党界定为在国家建设、组织动员与历史承担三个层面上生成整体的政党形态。这一概念重启了对政党本质的追问，确立起整体这一独立范畴，也重组了本土概念的秩序，从而具备成为中国政党政治学标识性概念的学理根基。

Abstract: Modern Western party research originated in the practice of parliamentary democracy. Presupposing that a party represents a particular part of society and that parties compete with one another, it defines the party in essence as a part, and thus cannot adequately account for the Communist Party of China (CPC)  or for China’s political practice. Running parallel to this lineage is a thread of thought long excluded from Western party studies. Beginning with the original thesis of Marx and Engels that the communists represent no special interest, it unfolds around the holistic nature of the proletarian party and constitutes an important starting point for party theory. The concept of the holistic party emerges from the mutual generation of this thread and the practice of the CPC. It defines the Party as a party form that generates wholeness on three levels: state building, organizational mobilization, and historical undertaking. This concept reopens the inquiry into the essence of the party, establishes wholeness as an independent category, and reorganizes the order of indigenous concepts, thereby possessing the scholarly foundation to become a signature concept in the study of Chinese party politics.
