Human society has entered"risk society"the German sociology master Beck puts forward. In the"risk society", the risks and crises are everywhere. It is duty-bound for the government to avoid risks, prevent and eliminate crises is in every country. The current Chinese society is experiencing a crucial period of"economic transformation, social transition". This period is also a stage with various social contradictions and frequent public crises. In order to prevent crises and to minimize the damage the crisis brings, the government must build a scientific and sound early-warning mechanism of public crises. Effective early warning mechanism of public crisis can not only prevent the occurrence of the disaster and minimize the losses, but can also make the government handle orderly the crisis in terms of the scheduled plan after the public crisis breaks out, thereby reducing social chaos, maintaining social order and improving people's trust in of government. However, currently China's crisis management system is not yet perfect, and the government tends to deal with the emergencies mainly in crisis management, but they ignore the prevention and avoidance of public crises, nor establish an effective early warning mechanism of public crisis. Therefore, establishing an efficient early warning mechanism of public crisis has become an important task of China's current public crisis management.This paper is divided into six chapters. The first chapter is an introduction which mainly introduces the study background of the subject, elaborates the study situation of early-warning of public crisis at home and abroad, and puts forward the study meaning and methods of the subject. The second chapter summarizes the basic concepts and theories of early-warning of public crisis, laying a theoretical basis for the paper. The third chapter introduces the foreign experiences in establishing the early-warning mechanisms of public crisis, such as the early warning mechanisms of public crisis of the United States, Japan and Israel, and analyzes the reference significance of the foreign experiences in establishing the early-warning mechanisms of public crisis, for example, their early warning mechanisms of public crisis have sound legal systems, strong central command systems, permanent integrated early-warning command institutions, consummate systems of information management and intelligence, and strict early-warning networks. The fourth chapter puts forward the existing problems of the early-warning mechanisms of public crisis in China, such as the sense of crisis of government officials and people needs to be further enhanced; the information and intelligence systems of early-warning are imperfect; there is a lack of a uniform, professional risk monitoring institution; the government needs to improve cooperation with other social actors and international organizations in the early-warning of public crisis. Chapter 5 is the focus of this paper, which brings forward the ideas and countermeasures of perfecting the early-warning mechanism of public crisis. First, this chapter advocates the establishing of China's early-warning mechanism of public crisis should follow such principles as people-centered, timely, efficient, classification warning, results-oriented, and the participation of all the relevant people. Then this chapter presents the countermeasures and methods of establishing the early-warning mechanism public crisis, such as strengthening the organizational establishment of early-warning of public crisis, nailing down the powers and functions of various departments, establishing a mode of multiple participation of early-warning of public crisis, establishing efficient information system of early-warning, and constructing a scientific indicator system of early-warning of public crisis. The sixth chapter is the tag which presents the future prospects of the construction of China's early-warning mechanism of public crisis. |
