Abstract:

“Chinese-style modernization” explains the historical, practical, and theoretical logic of China's embarking on the road of modernization and provides a new theoretical paradigm for us to carry out in-depth research on the modernization of social governance. From the perspective of systems and the scientific methods of this theoretical paradigm, the modernization of social governance in China has a unique development process and macroscopic pattern. This includes many transformations of social governance including “control-management-governance”, the concept of “people-centered” social governance, the social governance system of “co-construction, co-governance and co-sharing”, the social governance mechanism of “three governance integration”, the social governance system of “one-axis and multi-governance”, and the social governance form of two-way interaction between “top-down” and “bottom-up”. On the new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modern power, the modernization of Chinese-style social governance will present a grand blueprint with the overall goal of building a “good society”, the “modernization of urban social governance” as the general starting point, the “rule of law” as the path, and the “digital technology” as the driving force, which will benefit China and the world.

Key words: modernization, Chinese-style modernization, modernization of social governance
