This paper is the first article which systematically discusses the pan-communication of public crisis (PPC). With reviewing the history and defining the concept, the characteristics of PPC are analysed. In non-traditional security (NTS) perspective, we study PPC from history to reality, from theory to practice. We analyze and summarize the model and threats of PPC, and propose the governance belief and methods of PPC combinine theory with practice.The introduction part of this paper defines the key concepts and scopes involved. It also introduces the basic views, research methods and structure used in this paper.The second part summarizes the concept of public crisis, the public crisis lifecycle theory, and the governance theory. With reviewing the history of public crisis and communication of human beings, we consider that the historical process of human communication triggered by technological advances directly impels the birth and development of the public crisis.The third part starts with the two key concepts of this paper:NTS and pan-communication. It studies the concept of NTS, the association of security and public crisis and the concepts of securitization and desecuritization. We consider that pan-communication will cause the upgrade and dissimilation of public crisis and it can securitize a non-seurity incident. Meanwhile, pan-communication is a special kind of NTS itself. This part studies the development, concepts and characteristics of pan-media and pan-communication, and discusses the PPC problem in the perspective of NTS. We analyze the deconstruction of pan-communication to the traditional mass communication and its impact on PPC.The fourth part models PPC in macro and micro dimensions based on the characteristic of PPC summarized in the third part. From the macro perspective, the whole communication community is divided into six parts:the direct threat crowds (DTC), the virtual threat crowds(VTC), the ignore threat crowds(ITC), the unknown threat crowds(UTC), the government and mass media(GMM), and the stakeholder group (SHG). We propose the model of PPC network based on the six crowds, and we study the communication channels and the threats among them. From the micro perspective, we model the communication behavior of a pan-communication person, which is the specific participant in pan-communication. Considering four key elements of communication effects that the significance and the accuracy affecting the effect, the trust level of source person affecting the effect, the composition feature of the effect and the noises are introduced by pan-communication person subjectively, we proposes the communication effect fomula and the micro PPC model. Based on these two models, we analyze and summarize15threats in3categories; and aimed at these threats, we propose17coutermesures in3categroris.The fifth part introduces the idea of "good-governance" as the "Tao" of the governance of PPC. Guided by this idea,5categories of specific measures and implementation strategies, such as the mandatory measure, the leading measure, the precaution measure, the emergency measure and the supporting measure, are proposed. We exploit these measures to propose specific suggestions again two NTS problems, the security problem of doctor-patient relationship and the security problem of border areas.The conclusion part discusses the significance, innovation and limitation of this paper, and forecasts the future research.
