Social risks have accompanied human society throughout its development and are an important real issue in the process of human society development.Since the new era,China has faced a "great historical transformation that has not occurred in a century,"with profound changes in the international situation,the party’s situation,and the national situation.China’s social development has entered the "high-risk period." China is a large agricultural country with a large rural population.Rural social stability is the basis of social stability in China.The Communist Party of China is the strong leadership core of China’s socialist cause and shoulders the historical mission of leading the whole nation to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Effectively preventing and resolving rural social risks is an important task of governing the country for the Communist Party of China in the new era.Marxism is the theoretical source of governing the country for the Communist Party of China,and the theoretical results of the Chineseization and times-specific Marxism are the direct theoretical sources for the Party’s governing the country.The relevant discussions by the classic Marxist writers on social risks,as well as the social risk governance thought of the Communist Party of China,are the theoretical basis for the Party’s rural social risk governance in the new era.The social risk governance thought of Western classic sociologists and the risk governance thought contained in traditional Chinese governance thought can provide theoretical reference for the Party’s rural social risk governance in the new era.In addition to reviewing the existing dimensions of examination,this paper considers the nature and characteristics of the Party’s rural social risk governance and thus proposes the examination dimensions of Party’s rural social risk governance,namely,"governance principles-governance content-governance mechanisms-governance methods."The CPC has gone through a long period of historical exploration in rural social risk governance.Clarifying the exploration process of rural social risk governance by the CPC before the new era will help better understand the connection and differences between rural social risk governance by the CPC before the new era and that in the new era.Based on this,this paper has sorted out the exploration process of rural social risk governance by the CPC since its establishment,including the practical exploration of the CPC in maintaining rural social stability in the New Democracy Revolutionary Period,the practical exploration of the CPC in preventing and resolving rural social risks in the Socialist Revolution and Construction Period,and the exploration of rural social risk governance by the CPC in the new period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction.These exploration processes provide historical and realistic basis for better studying rural social risk governance by the CPC in the new era.The rural social risk governance of the Communist Party of China follows specific governance principles,including the fundamental principle of "people’s interests first,"the work approach of "steady progress amidst stability," the governance philosophy of coordination,consultation,and cooperation,the comprehensive,systematic,holistic,and multi-dimensional governance view,and the rule-of-law thinking of adhering to the law,discipline,and regulations.The content of rural social risk governance by the Communist Party of China includes five aspects:rural poverty governance centered on poverty alleviation and prevention of returning to poverty,rural corruption risk governance centered on preventing corruption among grassroots cadres,rural social conflict prevention and resolution centered on coordinating interests,rural livelihood risk governance centered on ensuring public services,and rural public health risk governance centered on prevention and control of major infectious diseases and new infectious diseases.In the new era under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,many effective governance mechanisms and methods have been formed.In terms of governance mechanisms,the Communist Party of China has formed a risk governance thought leadership mechanism guided by the overall national security concept,a dynamic,multi-dimensional,and normalized risk assessment mechanism,a"vertical to the bottom and horizontal to the edges" risk governance resource absorption and integration mechanism,a self-governance,rule of law,morality,and wisdom governance mechanism for risk prevention and resolution,and a risk governance mechanism that combines prevention and control,oversees the big picture,and coordinates various parties.In terms of governance methods,ideological and political education is an effective way for the Communist Party of China to lead the risk governance of rural society,information technology is a modern means for the Communist Party of China to prevent and resolve rural social risks,and organizational platforms are an important carrier for the Communist Party of China to improve the effectiveness of rural social risk governance.Since the new era,under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,our country’s rural social risk governance has achieved remarkable results and accumulated many successful experiences.From the macroscopic achievements,under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,our country’s rural grassroots power has been stable for a long time,the legitimate interests of rural villagers have been safeguarded,and rural people’d livelihoods have been further improved.From the specific achievements,under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,China has solved the historical problem of absolute poverty,effectively curbed the trend of corruption at the grassroots level,and formed a rural political ecology of "clean and honest villages." At the same time,rural conflicts and disputes have been resolved and resolved,the legitimate interests of rural villagers have been met,and the lives of rural people have been effectively safeguarded.In summary,putting people first and relying on people is an important magic weapon for the Communist Party of China to resolve rural social risks in the new era;enhancing risk awareness and strengthening the source of governance is an important principle for the Communist Party of China to prevent and resolve rural social risks in the new era;the comprehensive leadership and coordinated governance system of the Communist Party of China in the new era is the fundamental guarantee for the Party to win the battle against rural social risks;and the spirit of struggle and the ability to fight are effective methods for the Communist Party of China to enhance its ability to govern rural social risks.With the deepening of China’s rural modernization process,the types,contents,and characteristics of rural social risks in China are undergoing dynamic changes,posing numerous new challenges to the governance of rural social risks by the Communist Party of China.Currently,there objectively exists a wealth gap between urban and rural areas,corruption risks still exist in the field of rural revitalization,there has been an increase in sudden incidents in rural areas,the disparity in the provision of basic public services between urban and rural areas remains,and there is a relative scarcity of high-quality medical resources in rural are as.In the future,the development direction of governance for rural social risks by the Communist Party of China will shift from general risk management to major,sudden and emergency risk management;from singular risk management to systemic,cumulative and secondary risk management;from maintaining social stability to promoting comprehensive human development through risk management;and from traditional risk management to technologicalized,intelligent,and resilient risk governance.In view of the increasingly complex evolution situation of rural social risks,the Communist Party must continuously promote innovative development in governing these risks during this new era.Firstly,it should use a Chinese-style Marxist approach towards understanding and guiding practices related to managing such risks.Secondly,a comprehensive,multi-disciplinary,and systematic thinking on governing these risks should be formied.Thirdly,a pattern where top-level design combines with grassroots governance should be established for party leadership over governing these risks.Fourthly,a mechanism integrating early warning,response control,risk mitigation,and retrospective analysis should be constructed for governing these risks.And fifthly,a methodological system combining concepts,ins titutions,and technologies should be developed for governing these risks at a village level. |
