If you focus on the development of the Chinese think tank, we must not ignore the recent discussions about the Chinese think tank, the most popular of the two key words, "characteristics" and "new".
So, what is the "characteristics", what is "new"? A year, Chinese think tank has obviously accelerated the pace of development, an increasing number of think tanks, continue to strengthen the internal reform of the traditional think tank, some of the think tank's funding support to achieve a benign operation, these positive signs are worthy of recognition. But on the other hand, a lot of people understanding the new think tank with Chinese characteristics still is not complete and accurate.
On July 1, by the Ministry of people's daily political culture united people's power forum held in the theme of the seminar, the experts agreed that the Chinese think tanks is ushering in the history of the best opportunities of the times, but also faces great challenges. The need to clarify the Chinese think tank "special wher" and "new wher". only in this way, can boost the Chinese think tank in "with the new" road stride forward.
"Features" and "new" is the new requirements of the new orientation of the new direction
Building a new think tank with Chinese characteristics, is an important node in the course of development of think tank in China 30 years and a significant milestone, marking the think tank in China has experienced the rise and development stage, is about to enter a new historical period. This is for the construction of China's think tank of the CPC Central Committee new requirements and new orientation and new directions.
Review the past 30 years, the development of Chinese think tank, should from time to time, strong and vigorous.
Since the reform and opening up, with the rise of the liberation movement of thought, with the development of the cause of modernization, social demand of philosophy and social science knowledge and policy research and consulting emergence and growth, prosperity and development of philosophy and Social Science in China, policy research and consulting industry development provides a historical opportunity. Think tank in China was under such background produced and gradually developed. After 30 years of development, and gradually formed by the higher education system, school system, the Academy of social sciences system, party and government organs research department and the army colleges and universities system together constitute the "five force".
However, the decisions facing the domestic and international environment is undergoing profound changes, the traditional mode of think tanks development has not fully adapted to the requirements of the new period and new situation. "Characteristics" and "new" development to become the inevitable choice for the development of China's think tank. In this regard, Li Guoqiang, deputy director of the development research center of the State Council Public Administration and Human Resources Research Institute believes that "at present, domestic economic development climbing over the ridge in the structural adjustment pains and growth rate of phase shift, deepen the reform in a crucial break off difficult period, the social construction in the deep-seated contradictions highlight the period, to the decision of the overall, forward-looking, strategic, comprehensive and long-term provided A higher demand, while the rise of great powers, the country has always been the role of think tanks, China's rise in the world, the decision-making model is also more dependent on think tanks "
Experts believe that the "characteristics" and "new" forward, is the only way for the development and growth of Chinese think tank, also means that China's think tank is about to enter a period of rapid development.
China think tank special wher the new wher"
What is "features", what is "new", and make clear the connotation of medium, in order to ensure the health of the future development of Chinese think tank, robust. July 1, the forum, the experts think, with Chinese characteristics, the new think tank "characteristics" is that the party is the core of leadership for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, a think-tank, adhere to under the leadership of the party, adhere to socialism with Chinese characteristics, the official and non-governmental think tank, think tanks pluralistic coexistence and common development, the official think-tank occupies an important position, while encouraging between think tanks competition for the party, government and society to provide public policy research and decision-making consultation, policy interpretation, decision scheme evaluation service.
In this regard, Li Guoqiang, specifically to explain: the new think tank with Chinese characteristics, based on national conditions in China, there are different, we must first adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) compared to the function and system construction and western think tanks, based on the Chinese characteristic socialism system, do not flaunt "usually is independent of the government or the party"; at the same time, we must in order to service the decision making oriented, adhere to the pragmatic, the economic and social development of the overall, prospective, strategic, comprehensive, and the current hot in long-term research, problems of organic combination of, for the decision of the Party Central Committee and State Council provide useful policy recommendations and high quality of intelligence support.
Closer to the ruling think tank for the current view is that, with the think tank type of more diverse, party and government organs of the genus authority and influence declined, the participating experts pointed out: in fact, the official think-tank, the new situation of the party and the government to explore the ruling law, perfect the ruling strategy, improve the scientific level of important intellectual support and the main force, in the current and future quite a long period of time, this kind of think tank will policymakers mainly advisory and support role, its importance and status is other think tank can not match. This also is "Chinese characteristics". Because this kind of think tank in managing state affairs, but also understand the decision-making process and ideas. Including the retired officer Member think-tank, is should be recognized and encouraged. The in our country, the development of non-governmental think tank also need to a quite long time. Of course, also need to play a positive and encouraging non-governmental think tank, in order to foster objective, rational think tank group. The so-called "new" in the academic circles, there is no uniform conclusion. But from each of the debate, we can capture the common features of connotation.
Chong Financial Research Institute of Renmin University of China executive vice president Wang Wen thinks, "new" must meet several conditions, namely the new think tank need fully involved in the policy making of front-end program, mid suggestions, perfect late whole process; can not only satisfy the internal voice, to government decision-making level and social public opinion the contradiction between resolution and channels of communication and consultation; both engaged in social policy research, should also widely involved in global affairs, to promote Chinese culture and thought into the world.
Former president of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Wang Ronghua, director of intelligence research center, sass believes that the "new" meet the needs of the four levels of meaning: research think tank must be on the innovation theory based; research think tank should be with the scientific decision-making for the purpose, reflecting the combination of knowledge and policy; think tank research should reflect the decision consulting research of problem oriented and forward-looking; think tank research should become the depth of experts and scholars to participate in the public policy formulation process.
Power must be strong, the rise of the modern country to think tank pilot.
We see that although the experts' views are not the same, but reveals the common content, deep-seated problems existing in current China's think tank, revealing the Chinese characteristic new think tank need for reorganisation, transformation and development. Construction with Chinese characteristics, the new think tank also need to face the challenges
The old can Lixin, face the problem, to find the gap, striding forward.
At present, development of China's think tank also faces many problems, such as the number of institutions is numerous, but strength is not strong; of scattered resources, low level repetition phenomenon is serious; research content fragmentation, targeted is not strong, "works" is not enough; lack of foreign exchange, international influence and discourse right deficiency.
And from the deep analysis, this is the source in the macro institutional environment is not perfect, the status of think tanks in public policy decision-making is not clear positioning. Think tank construction lack of overall planning, geweijizhu, respective combat, resulting in think-tank, the smaller and more, the overall strength is not strong. The management system and operation mechanism is not adapted to the needs of the development of the think tank, think tank, insufficient investment, and for a long time, a large number of official think-tank still exist problem of lack of public social services for. "Li Guoqiang pointed out.
Therefore, the construction of new think tank with Chinese characteristics, but also need to face the challenge.
Therefore, Wang Ronghua suggested, first of all, the think tank to closely around the center work of the party and the government, answer the major realistic problem of social and economic development. Construction of tanks to be in play think tank of the government influence and maintain independence is found between the best balance. The balance is follow the policies of the party and the country, persist in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts and keeping pace with the times, to do empirical, tell the truth. Think tank construction can not be fanciful, persist, also not Quyanfushi, parrot. Secondly, government decision-making process to support and guide is deeply involved in the think tank, also want to create equality and tolerance and candid exchanges with the atmosphere and environment. Third, the think tank To make full use of the new media and new technology, the new state to improve policy decision research and public influence. At the same time, broaden the channels for transforming achievements, improve service achievements of think tanks in the effectiveness of public policy and targeted. "
China Center for international economic exchanges, vice president of the Long Wei Jianguo is recommended, with Chinese characteristics, the new think tank to carefully grasp the construction products, think tank is the product of thought, to really just thinking. At the same time, think tank, the results of the implementation need overall channel strategy, especially in the international exchange, should pay attention to ways and means. In addition, through a sound financial system and the reserve of talents, change the think tank's universal "interpretation of policy and more, guide policy formulation; early intervention much, solve the problem stage involves less; pursuit of interests, real effect of the pursuit of less problems. Promoting think-tank function expand, to promote different types of think tanks collaborative innovation is in The only way of Chinese characteristics, the new development of think tanks. As Tsinghua University School of public administration, Associate Professor Zhu said, "think tanks in China it is necessary to adhere to their own path of development. At present, China's think tanks have shown a development trend of organization for a wide range of backgrounds. The thought of this policy on the stage, different think tank is not only policy perspectives of competitors, cooperation and learn from each other. They share the common expert intelligence support to government task."
