Overview
How can China achieve good social governance in the new era? How can it develop a new landscape of social governance characterized by shared growth through discussion and collaboration? In Social Governance in China, the author answers these questions and discusses four key areas of need in the endeavor to strengthen and innovate China's social governance: security in a risk society, integration in an open society, justice and fairness in a pluralistic society, and expression in a virtual society.The book advocates that shared growth through discussion and collaboration is the only way to achieve the three goals of China's social governance: safeguarding public security, resolving social conflicts, and developing a self-governing society. It also examines the three challenges facing social governance: risk assessment in decision making, the reform of China's petition system, and the improvement of the governance structure.
