The history of human civilization is rife with constant challenges and risks,and endless accidents and incidents, either man-made or natural, occurred followingthe vicissitudes of the human history.Due to the special nature of China’s ethnic minority areas, the local governmentsthere are confronted with a grim situation and challenge. The way in which agovernment deals with risks actually is a comprehensive test of its adaptability tochanges, which also reflects the administration of a government. Therefore, the studyof risk recognition capability of local government in ethnic minority areas is of greatsignificance both theoretically and practically.The risks in ethnic minority areas characterize with complexity, ethnicity, latency,transnationality, uncontrollability, etc because of a series of factors such as lessdeveloped economy, complicate eco-environment, vast area etc. Although the localgovernment continues to adjust and update the existing risk recognition system, therestill exist some major problems: incorrect philosophy of risk recognition, unclear roleof each division of the local government, lack of cooperation with other sectors in thesociety, weak theoretical research on the relevant issues, the influence ethnictraditional culture and challenges from the rapid development of the internet.The following measures is conducive to raise the risk recognition capability oflocal government in ethnic minority areas: firstly, unify the responsibility and enhancetheir philosophy of risk recognition; secondly, construct the suitable risk-recognitionwarning mechanism; thirdly, build on the risk-recognition information system;fourthly, strengthen the cooperation with all walks of life; fifthly, improve therisk-recognition legal system; sixthly, create the new way to recognize risks-internetpublic relations; and finally, exert the influence of ethnic traditional culture.To raise the risk recognition capability of local government in ethnic minorityareas is a great systematic project, and there needs a long way to go to accomplish it.As long as we hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristicsand follow the scientific outlook on development, the risk recognition capability therewill continue to improve and perfect and the future of ethnic minority areas will bemore prosperous.
