民族院校协同治理城市多民族社区的柔性路径

Using a “Soft”Path for Governing Urban Multi-ethnic Communities with the Collaboration of Universities for Nationalities

民族院校与城市多民族社区问题在地理上存在必然联系,在协同治理上具有宏观、中观和微观条件,完全可以充分发挥民族院校的文化教育强大功能,将优秀的少数民族文化引导和融入社区文化、大众文化,走出一条以文化为根、教育为绳、文旅为台的柔性路径。

Almost every campus of the various universities for nationalities is more or less surrounded by ethnic minority people who sometimes form associations,and sometimes create residential quarters,streets,or communities. These are called Urban Multi-Ethnic Communities（ UMEC）. Many kinds of contradictions appear in the UMECs. However,the root of these problems lies in culture.There,contradictions between the ＂heterogeneous＂ethnic minority cultures and urban community culture cause various ethnic disputes or conflicts which can become intense. The fundamental task of these universities for nationalities is to promote national unity and prosperity through cultural and educational activities. This is because they have many obvious advantages in doing theoretical research,and have already made significant contributions to national unity and progress in practice. Hence,they should actively take part in the governance of UMECs.The path for cooperative governance of the universities for nationalities is more likely to play a soft role for cultural education. And the ＂soft path＂can be developed from the following three aspects：1. Opening wide the door of ethnic education It is necessary for universities for nationalities to throw away the barriers,and open wide the door of ethnic cultural education so as to infect every person who walks onto the campus with strong feeling of ethnic unity and high-quality educational resources,and help them to recognize the preciousness of ethnic unity and progress.2. Building a platform for ＂soft＂governance The universities for nationalities can build a cultural tourism network by taking advantage oftheir disciplines, including literature, history,tourism,management,economics and art.3. Making good preparation for ensuring soft governance For the universities,cultural educational resources should be open and cooperative. For the community,the resources of the community residents should be shared collaboratively,and network-based management should be carried out in the communities. Concerning autonomous organizations,we should encourage establishing more ethnic minority autonomous organizations. As for the government,the regional resources for development should be opened to the public.All of the four aspects mentioned above need close collaboration. In addition,a collaborative mechanism should be formed in which the government plays the leading role,the communities are the main participants,the ethnic minorities organize autonomously,and the universities for nationalities participate actively.
