In the public field,it is against the economic development of the society that the sense of publicity is disappearing while the demand of it keeps increasing, and the over rational Bureaucracy leads to the further materialization.But at the same time, with the rise of civil society and the increase of the ruling power, it becomes possible that people solve the social problems by interactive and negotiable knowledge-sharing and power-gathering. Public power and knowledge are important narrative means of social governance nowadays. This is the theoretical precondition of social constructional public administration.As a means to explore the philosophy of administration, public administration is not only a pure objective world, but a meaningful and valuable subjective world from the sense of social construction.Public administration is not a closed system where government officials take action by themselves and for themselves, but a practice participated and shared by the officials and the public, where criticism against the rational construction of public administration is emphasized.The process of social construction and public administration is the process of the officials'and people's self-construction, during which "we" as human beings plays the main part.In this process, everyone is active and critical, and has the spirit of commonality. Thus ethics of responsibility and individuality is emphasized. About the content, social-constructional public administration supports the criticism and rethinking of social knowledge.Through the combination of multi-knowledge and the exertion of the main part's active practice, different activists communicate and negotiate with each other to make the decision.This public administration is constructed on the basis of different practical activities, to promote the sound development of the society, the system,the administrative knowledge and the individuals. Certain practical significance of public administration is affirmed by the objective elements, and this helps to establish the ideas, rules, systems, methods and tools of public administration. Thus a scene of interactive communication is created and the needs of different parts are fulfilled. With the ongoing criticism made on the fact and value of administration, challenges against old habits and changes which take place on the administrative methods, the wish to build a multi-participating democratic society will be realized.Social constructional public administration applies well to China during the social transformation,both in theory and in practice. As an idea of soft administration, it plays a role in promoting the building of main-part public administration and the healthy development of civil society. In theoretical innovation, great attention is paid to the process, the construction and the cooperation rather than to the theory, the system and the power before.In content, the function of service and control is replaced by social self-governance, participation and negotiation of different bodies by same-level management and cooperation, people's monologues and dialogues by knowledgeable and meaningful social construction and the far-away central government by a combination of central and local government. In this way, different demand is met, the government function becomes more scientific and the public's interest will be guaranteed.The realization of public administrative social construction is a long-running and complex process.In process of social construction, public administration emphasizes the function and meaning of the "field-social design".The field of public administration where people share their experience and knowledge and make decisions together. During the operation of the community organization,the action and words are the key elements.Along with the rights and democracy produced by them, they compose the key content of public administrative social construction. The rights derived from public administrative social construction are communicative rights and new rights from the integration of the different bodies'knowledge, which can protect the rights of the people and help the formation of real words language mechanism.Based on the sharing of experience and knowledge, objective public policies can be made and the society will be administered scientifically. This process is the process of democratization, and also the process of democratic reproduction. In the formation of external conditions, the development of public administration in social construction emphasizes the role of the decentralization, autonomous function and the formation of a civil society. The rise of the civil society makes non-profit organizations and primary organizations the main body of the management. Decentralization of social constructional administration gives power to local government and organizations so that multiple bodies have their role to play, social capital can be made full use of, and social self-governance can be realized.
