After three decades of reform and open-up,China realizes a great transformation from a subsistence society to a development society, which results in a strategy updating of demand structure in China and indicates salient features of the current stage of society problems. The conflict between integrated and highly developing public demand and insufficient and uneven-distributed basic public service supply has become a bottleneck factor that handicaps development of economy as well as that of society.The Equalization of Basic Public Service, working as a new reform strategy unveiled initiatively by Chinese government which is applying for meeting social development demands, is a system engineering that contains public source investment, public policy implementation and institutional framework construction. Thus, the equalization of basic public service plays a significant role in defusing social conflict, promoting human development and safeguarding social fairness and justice.During the"Eleventh Five-Year", the reform of basic public service equalization has achieved preliminary success, with public financial investment increasing and initial institutional framework forming. Government and academia face a challenge to realize a policy system operating smoothly. And the synergy methodology is introduced to work out that problem, which is a general rule applied to studying complex system transferring from the unordered stage to the ordered stage. For thus, the synergy methodology plays an important role in creating a policy system of basic public service equalization with theoretical enlightenment and methodological meaning. This paper, following the direction of synergy methodology, describes the policy system of basic public service equalization in China, explores a synergy mechanism to lead the development of public service system. The concept of policy synergy of basic public service equalization and its definition is the logical beginning of this paper. On the one hand, the paper gives a definition of policy synergy based on well understanding and mastering the nature of synergy and public policy; on the other hand, the paper defies the range of policy system of pubic service in China based on knowing the policy goal of basic public service in China presently.On the basis of a clear thesis, this paper starts arguments according to the feasibility of policy synergy. Firstly, the feasibility of policy synergy stems from the universality of synergetic theory. Secondly, synergetic theory not only provides a scientific methodology and thinking mode but also makes requirements to policy-system operating, that is openness, self-organization, relevance and response. Thirdly, policy synergy is not synergetic formula merely implementing in public policy which originates from politics and whose system is the unity of tool reason and value reason. Fourthly, a deliberative democratic theory, providing policy synergy with value ideal, realizes openness and response of policy system in theory; an integration governing theory, providing policy synergy with experience summarizing, realizes relevance and self-organization in strategy.With guidance of theory listed above, this paper creates a theory model for operating of the policy synergy, describes the internal mechanism of policy synergy and its acting logic, builds a framework for policy synergy operating by identifying synergic opportunities, and leads a ordered way for the system by creating synergic mechanism to standardize order parameter. It is demonstrated that the theoretic model of policy synergy plays its role in public service policy practicing based on an integrating operation model of public service policy during public service reform in the Western.Based on the theory model above, this paper describes the operation of the basic public service system, obtains macro information both from data evaluation of policy-makers and public satisfaction with synergic macro-methodology, and testifies the utilization of basic public service equalization reforming in China. The paper confirms initial success of the reform of basic public service equalization in China, points out vital contradiction of the reform, and analyzes synergy of the policy system. Besides, a description of the system attribution has been stated as follows: policy system of basic public service in China appears having a loose and inefficient structure; policy subsystem has weak association with each other lacking of cooperation; the whole system has a low degree of synergy which seems disordered. The policy system of basic public service in China lacks synergy mechanism for ignoring management of order parameter when operating.Countermeasures have been recommended to promote reform of basic public service equalization in order to tackle with problems above. It is advocated that create a synergy mechanism and make a direction for policy system being ordered operating. Main measures could apply for that listed as follows: it needs civil society developing and public policymaker participating; it needs bettering public financial system and founding a muti-supply mechanism of public service; it needs clearing government accountability and founding a dynamic governmental regulatory mechanism; it needs cooperating between counterparts of the government and founding a integrated and coordinated mechanism for policy; it needs optimizing the policy procedure and founding a synergy organic security system .Policy synergy, working as an analyzing framework for policy research, is applied to interpreting the efficiency of complex policy system operation, which provides a new thinking manners and research perspective; working as an ideal operation model for policy system, concentrates on the unit function of policy, emphasizes on cooperation based on division of labor, and pursuits maximum of public benefits; working as a policy theory, guards and realizes"justice""publicity"of public policy, adhering to"public deliberation"as basic concept and"cooperation and integration"as primary strategy.
