Reflections on the Participation of Social Organizations in the Prevention of COVID-19

Objective To study the problems of Chinese social organizations in participating in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 pandemic so that we can standardize the participation mechanism,improve the collaborative management mechanism,and promote the development of social organizations.Methods Through the analysis of CNKI,news reports,industry conferences and other data,combined with the current situation,the participation of social organizations in public health emergencies were investigated.Results and Conclusion The coordination between government and social organizations is not good.Social organizations in the field of public health are unable to stand out in a timely manner.The public do not have self-management ability.Some of the media spread rumors.Besides,most social organizations are highly dependent on the government and they are ack supervision.Social organizations should be incorporated into the emergency management system and national hub-based social organizations must be established.In addition,supervision should be strengthened to increase the credibility of social organizations.The responsibilities of community and emergency management at the grassroots level should be enhanced.The public opinion response and disposal system should be improved.Lastly,the responsibility of social organizations in the field of public health must be fulfilled.

Establishing a Social Governance Model Based on Collaboration,Participation,and Common Interests:Value,Structure and Roadmap

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC)put forward the proposal of establishing a social governance model based on collaboration,participation,and common interests,with the aim of developing new approaches to social governance and further modernizing China’s social system and capacity for governance.As a structuralized social relation addressing diversified governance bodies,the model has consolidated the social governance innovations achieved since the 18th CPC National Congress.Focusing on three dimensions—"value,""structure"and"roadmap,"this paper tries to interpret the value connotations and defining features behind the model and explores its development roadmap.Such a social governance model is a response to political,social and public value appeals,and an adjustment to the order of governance bodies,resource allocations and the benefit distribution structure.Its construction is a systematic and long-term project,which should aim continuously at satisfying people’s ever-higher needs,perfecting laws and regulations,cultivating a pool of specialized organizations and talents,exerting the technology advantages of the Internet in governance,and promoting socialization,legalization,specialization and intellectualization in social development.

The challenge of applying governance and sustainable development to wildland fire management in Southern Europe

This paper discusses participatory processes in wildland fire management （WFM）. Participation is an essential element of both the European Sustainable Development （SD） Strategy and the White Paper on Governance. Governance end SD have thus become an interconnected challenge to be applied to WFM （as a sub-area in forest policy）, amongst other policies. An overspread weakness in WFM is lack of real participation of stakeholders. Absence of （or deficient） participation can seriously impair contribution of this group to WFM in high-risk areas and runs counter governance and the SDS. Further, this weakness might prevent an efficient use of fire as a land management tool （prescribed burning, PB） and as a technique for fighting wildfire （suppression fire, SF）. Even though these fire practices have been well known in many different places, they have been increasingly neglected or Prohibited over time in Southern Europe. At present, forest and fire fighting administrations are turning their eyes back on them and analyzing the benefits of using fire in relation to preventive and suppressive actions. Therefore, participatory and diffusion mechanisms （the latter adopting the shape of national and international experts＇ networks） are required in order to solve the so- called fire paradox： that is, the need to move from a one-dimensinnal perception of the negative impacts of fire to a more sophisticated one that also stresses its positive effects. Governance, based on broad social participation, and diffusion, through fire networks, are of utmost importance in order, first, to diminish long-standing suspicion amongst different interests as to the use of fire and, secondly, to diffuse best practices associated with PB and SF. Most importantly, the ELI should exercise its environmental leadership so that these new fire practices and sustainable WFM are diffused across the international arena.

Civil Society in Traditional China: Governance and Ownership System——Evidence from Construction and Management of Public Facilities in the Qing Dynasty

This paper focuses on the bridge council and free ferry services as the private organizers of public infrastructure construction in the Qing Dynasty, uncovers the legal entity ownership system and governance model with China's native origin, and reveals the attributes and characteristics of ownership by legal entities in China's traditional era. Bridge councils and free ferry services are non-profit and non-government public-interest institutions, whose members were elected by local communities. These councils were responsible for the fundraising, construction, and long-term maintenance and operation of public facilities and infrastructure at the grassroots level. They adopted open and transparent management procedures and could coordinate cross-jurisdictional affairs and mediate disputes. They possessed independent assets such as lands and fund reserves, and such exclusive legal-entity ownership received protection from the government and under the laws. Such form of legal-entity ownership provided the institutional foundation for the development of clans, temples, charitable groups, academies of classical learning, and various associations and societies. These self-organizing groups demonstrate remarkable mobilization and organizational capabilities and institutional creativity of civil society in traditional China. They served as a link between the government and communities and played a unique and active role in maintaining social order at the grassroots level.

Study of Problems in the Development of Non-profit Organizations in Urban Communities

With the continuous advancement of construction of urban communities and the continuous development of the needs of community residents in China,non-profit organizations in various urban communities have developed rapidly and have increasingly played an important role in social and economic life. At present,the development of non-profit organizations in urban communities is still faced with many problems,such as difficulty in raising funds,lack of incentives that results in low enthusiasm for volunteering and low participation of community residents,etc. It is urgent and practical significance to study,analyze and solve the problems faced by non-profit organizations in urban communities. That article focuses on the analysis and discussion of the problems facing the development of non-profit organizations in urban communities,and proposes countermeasures to solve the problems.

Social Media Use and Political Participation in Rural China:A Case Study

Among the few studies conducted on political participation in China,most, if not all, provided an urban-centric picture of participation with both Internet-based debate on certain topics or offline movement on a specific issue.Little attention is paid to the role social media use which might play in rural politics in China. This paper takes it from here and looks at how factory nongmingong in China use social media to participate in rural politics, as well as the relationship between such use and political participation.We employ a processual approach to rural politics where rural politics is viewed as the interaction between individual participant and the structural forces,cultural or political, that comprise the current cultural nexus of power within the enlarged social landscape of rural politics. We will in this process examine the participation of their perception of rural politics, expression as well as action. By interviews and participant observation among nongmingong in this villa,ge, we demonstrated that their perception of the factory culture, the time limits imposed by the factory, and extant social networks on social media and the renting and mianzi principles attached to it are three important cultural forces shaping both their political use of social media and the observed political participation. The very affordance of friends and group chats offered by WeChat, when adopted by them, in our case, play a central role in this process.

Pivotal Social Organization:Institutional Logic and Practical Approach

The social organization is the periodic product of the change of social management mode before and after the reform and opening-up. Under the background of governance theory,the status of social organizations must be further enhanced. To realize the modernization of the national governance system, it is necessary to further develop and improve social organizations to meet the needs of The Times when traditional social management changes to modern social governance. The generation of pivotal social organizations should aim at improving the governance of social organizations. The key lies in the implementation of the concept of"separation of politics and society". The construction of pivotal social organization should become the representative of social interests in function,break away from the color of"official office"in main body, and strengthen the cultivation, service and supervision of social organization in behavior.

Improving the System of Historic and Cultural Heritage Protection Through Social Participation: Based on the Practice of Guangdong

The early historic and cultural heritage protection is regarded as the responsibility of the government, and is promoted by the government, protection experts, planners, and a few other elites. These bodies constitute a top-down historic and cultural heritage protection system based on their cultural consciousness. In the social transition of market-oriented reform and property right reform, due to the profit-driven demands of individuals, enterprise, and development-oriented government, the protection system was gradually differentiated and a lot of "protective development" practices emerged. With the advent of the post-industrial era, based on the need for cultural identity, the historic and cultural heritage protection began to get attention from third-party organizations, community residents, and even the public, who launched "bottom-up" social participation. Therefore, this paper, based on social governance theory, takes the development of civil cultural conservation organizations in Guangdong as the research object, explores how to construct a society participation network in Guangdong, and discusses the influence and limitation of the network in promoting the historic and cultural heritage protection. The paper puts forward the idea of improving the system of historic and cultural heritage protection through social participation.

The role of multilateral organizations and governments in advancing social innovation in health care delivery

Background:Despite great medical advances and scientific progress over the past century,one billion people globally still lack access to basic health care services.In the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development social innovation models aim to provide effective solutions that bridge the health care delivery gap,address equity and create social value.This commentary highlights the roles of multilateral organizations and governments in creating an enabling environment where social innovations can more effectively integrate into health systems to maximize their impact on beneficiaries.Main text:The integration of social innovations into health systems is essential to ensure their sustainability and the wide dissemination of their impact.Effective partnerships,strong engagement with and endorsement by governments and communities,regulations,trust and sometimes willingness are key factors to enhance system integration,replication and dissemination of the models.Three examples of social innovations selected by the Social Innovation in Health Initiative illustrate the importance of engaging with governments and communities in order to link,integrate and synergize their efforts.Key challenges that they encountered,and lessons learnt are highlighted.Multilateral organizations and governments increasingly engage in promoting and supporting the development,testing and dissemination of social innovations to address the health care delivery gap.They play an important role in creating an enabling environment.This includes promoting the concept of social innovation in health care delivery,spreading social innovation approach and lessons learnt,fostering partnerships and leveraging resources,convening communities,health system actors and various stakeholders to work together across disciplines and sectors,and nurturing capacity in countries.Conclusions:Multilateral organizations and local and national governments have a critical role to play in creating an enabling environment where social innovations can flourish.In supporting and disseminating social innovation approach,multilateral organizations and governments have a great opportunity to accelerate Universal Health Coverage and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Risk Analysis and its Preventive Mechanism in Government Purchasing Elderly Home -Based Service from NGOs： A Theoretical Framework

Outsourcing elderly home-based service reduces risk, improves service quality and efficiency while there are risks mainly for demand-side risk and supply-side risk. In order to prevent these risks, risk-management framework should be constructed with risk preparedness, risk identification, risk analysis, risk assessment and risk disposal as a whole process. Finally, this paper puts forward some suggestions to strengthen the legal regulation, improve the supervision mechanism, strengthen the purchasing performance evaluation and improve the capability ofnonprofits to delivery the service and so on,

通过扫黑除恶的社会治理——以贯彻落实《反有组织犯罪法》为视角

在黑恶势力及其违法犯罪严重影响基层政权稳定的严峻形势下,党和国家决定开展扫黑除恶专项斗争,经过三年的全面、深入、系统推进,成效显著,赢得全面胜利。扫黑除恶是国家专门力量直接介入基层社会治理的重要体现,但单纯通过刑事司法或综合治理均无法达到深入且快速的良好治理效果。在总体国家安全观的指导下《,反有组织犯罪法》以“四个结合”为治理理念,构建惩防并举、标本兼治的有组织犯罪治理体系。其具体体现了司法治理与综合治理并重,且重点突出、有机衔接的共治路径及其立法思路。其中,司法治理强调宽严相济刑事政策的细化落实及关联治理机制的体系性完备,综合治理则突出群众路线下治本且治标的综合预防体系健全。通过不断完善的法治来推动常态化、高质效的有组织犯罪治理,保障扫黑除恶的法律效果、政治效果与社会效果相统一,有利于促进实现国家治理体系和治理能力现代化。

枢纽型社会组织高质量参与基层治理的影响因素与实现路径

在街镇社区层面,枢纽型社会组织在党和政府与一般性社会组织间扮演着枢纽桥梁角色,为增强基层治理效能提供了动力来源与创新载体。借助于上海市25个街镇级社会组织服务中心样本,本文采用模糊集定性比较分析方法,分析了经济发展水平、政府支持力度、社会组织互动、社会关系链接、组织硬件基础和组织软件条件等组合下枢纽型社会组织高质量参与基层治理的影响因素和实现路径。研究结果显示:(1)组织硬件基础是枢纽型社会组织高质量参与基层治理的必要条件;(2)枢纽型社会组织高质量参与基层治理具有资源赋能型、社会撬动型、复合推进型、内外协同型四种“殊途同归”的实现路径。本研究丰富了社会组织理论研究,研究结论可为地方因地制宜地推进枢纽型社会组织高质量参与基层治理提供有益的借鉴。

数字赋能社会组织参与社区治理的生成逻辑与实践进路

社会组织是中国社会治理体系和治理能力现代化的有机组成部分,是社区治理的重要主体和推动力量。基于“技术—组织—环境”的TOE分析框架,数字赋能社会组织参与社区治理的生成逻辑主要表现为数字技术双重赋能角色的驱动、社会组织发展束缚破解的推动、国家方针政策引导的拉动,其在实践中主要面临数字阻力、主体约束和结构掣肘等三个层面的现实困境。因此,数字赋能社会组织参与社区治理需要充分考虑数字技术、环境建构与组织形态所形塑的复合情境,从环境、组织、技术多维度建构复合赋能模式。

中国式现代化视域下社区治理共同体公共精神的重塑

社区治理共同体的构建,要求以公共精神维系治理主体相互合作、资源共享、相互信任和依赖的关系,公共精神和共同体是一种双向互构的关系。然而,现代社会的个人本位原则削弱了共同体的价值和整体性的公共精神。本文为构建共建共治共享的基层社区治理共同体,通过溯源西方国家文化环境中生长出的公共精神经典理论,从中国传统社会中寻找公共精神的基础根基,分析和重塑符合中国式现代化背景下的契约型公共精神。与此同时,不断重组和演化的新型社区共同体又为公共精神的培育和塑造提供新的载体和空间。

公共体育服务融入基层网格化管理的意义解析与路径探索

网格化管理是基层政府在科层制体系内利用信息技术实现政府管理流程再造的创新性举措,其普及程度与应用范围日益扩大,呈现出向公共服务领域倾斜的趋势。公共体育服务融入基层网格化管理有助于推动公共体育服务管理重心下移,有助于强化公共体育服务供给的多部门协同,有助于改善公共体育服务供需错位问题,有助于促进公共体育服务的“管监评分离”;然而,其实践层面也可能引发公共体育服务管理的形式化问题,呈现公共体育服务管理的新碎片化状态,挤压体育社会组织和市场组织参与公共体育服务供给的空间,弱化社区自治组织在公共体育服务供给上的作用。公共体育服务融入基层网格化管理的路径主要包括将社会体育指导员、体育场地纳入网格化管理的资源库,将全民健身工作领导协调机制嵌入网格化管理的联动中心,将体育社会组织、市场组织吸纳进网格化管理的合作框架,将社区自治与网格化管理有机衔接4个方面。

资源依赖下社会组织参与社区微治理的自主性何以生成?——以上海市Y组织为例

我国社会组织对其他主体尤其是政府主体存在资源依赖,这对其自主性有所限制。已有研究对社会组织自主性的理解和操作化集中于社会组织的财务、人事、组织发展规划等方面,但对其业务活动过程中的自主性讨论较少且与其他方面自主性的区分不够。聚焦Y组织在参与社区微治理过程中的自主性进行研究,发现在面向不同主体时,社会组织谋求自主性的主导逻辑有所不同:因对街道的资源依赖程度较深,Y组织采取“有底线地遵从”策略以管理对街道的资源依赖,并以专业逻辑为主导获得自主性;面对社区相关利益主体时,Y组织采取“操纵式地满足”策略,并以合法性逻辑为主导,拓展其在社区中的自主性。

合作与创新:社会组织可持续发展的根本途径——基于G省J市A协会的个案研究

针对社会组织研究传统范式中过度强调政府与社会、组织与环境之间“二元对立”的倾向,文章以G省J市A协会为个案,试图从合作博弈和创新理论的双重视角,通过对其转型发展过程的系统考察,阐明合作与创新对社会组织可持续发展的深远意义。研究发现,A协会之所以能够从一个“草根组织”成功转型为当地发展势头强劲的志愿服务机构,关键在于它主动选择了合作与创新的行动策略。通过这一典型案例发现,一方面,社会组织的合作行为在中国具有独特的政治优势和文化优势,使之能够被纳入国家治理的总体框架而得以有效地实现;另一方面,社会组织创新在中国具有悠久的历史基础、深厚的文化积淀、迫切的现实需要和强大的实践主体,加之创新内容和形式的多元性特征,使之具备了可持续发展的更大可能性和可行性。因此,坚持合作与创新“两条腿走路”,是社会组织谋求可持续发展的必然选择。

村域社会资本与农村老人的社区治理参与

基于对全国11个省份1137位农村老人的问卷调查,从村域社会网络、村域信任和村域规范3个维度考察了村域社会资本对农村老人社区治理参与的影响。结果表明,村域社会网络、村域信任和村域规范均显著正向影响农村老人的社区治理参与,且这一结果具有稳健性。村域社会网络、村域信任和村域规范对农村老人社区治理参与的影响存在着性别、年龄和政治身份的群体差异,特别是村域社会资本的各个维度仅显著影响了非党员群体的社区治理参与,而对党员群体的影响不显著。研究进一步发现,村域社会资本主要通过公平感提升和支持获得状况改善影响农村老人的社区治理参与。要发挥村域社会资本的作用,须打造社区参与平台及空间,为积累村域社会资本提供土壤;还须通过培育参与意识和公共精神,促进村域社会资本的积累,延续村域社会资本的生命力。
