Synergetic Innovation in Social Governance in a Complex Network Structural Paradigm

复杂网络结构范型下的社会治理协同创新（英文）

Society is in essence a complex network system that is open, evolving and adaptable and possesses a coupling function. Social governance is a large-scale and complex systems engineering project. Due to the complexity and uncertainty of the environment and social affairs, the traditional government-led linear management model cannot provide effective interpretations and responses to complex social issues, and it is thus necessary to introduce the complexity scientific paradigm. Complexity science, especially complex system theory, has an intrinsic correspondence with social governance, and can reveal the inherent occurrence mechanism and rules brought about by the complexity of social governance. It indicates that the more complex a system is, the greater will be its requirements for systemic coordination and the more apparent its synergetic effects. A complex social network system is small-world and scale-free, with a community structure, preferential attachment and a topological structure characterized by the duality of virtuality and actuality. All of these have a direct and profound effect on social governance. To strengthen and innovate social governance, it is necessary to analyze the social system＇s complex network structure and characteristics, establish synergetic and innovative mechanisms and institutional arrangements for social governance, and carry out synergetic social governance.

社会本质上是一个开放演化、具有耦合作用和适应性的复杂网络系统,社会治理是一项庞大而又复杂的系统工程。由于环境和社会事物的复杂性和不确定性,由政府主导的传统管理模式不能对复杂社会问题给出有效的解释和应对,有必要引入复杂科学范式。复杂科学尤其是复杂系统理论与社会治理具有内在的契合性,它能够揭示社会治理复杂性产生的内在机理及其规律。复杂系统理论表明,越是复杂的系统,系统协调的要求也越高,协同效应也就越显著。复杂社会网络系统所具有的小世界、无标度、社团结构、偏好连接及虚实"二相"性拓扑结构对社会治理有着直接而深刻的影响。加强和创新社会治理需要分析社会系统的复杂网络结构及其特征,建立社会治理的协同创新机制,展开协同社会治理。
