Abstract: The structural transformation of modern state governance shows that cooperation is its inner logic and fundamental strategy. Modern state governance needs both reasonable institutional structure and stable social foundation. As a kind of governance democracy, deliberative democracy can undertake the primary demands of modern state governance effectively at the level of social foundation: deliberative democracy can produce two elements that modern state governance requires, that is participants and social order. On the other hand, modern state governance supports deliberative democracy in political life and social space. Hence modern state governance and deliberative democracy can be well-coordinated. When cooperation and consultation constitute the common values of modern state governance and deliberative democracy, cultivating appropriate public spirit is essential to their development.
