Being a basic part of the governmental function and social management, crisis management is also an inevitable phenomenon along with the development of modern society. Crises and their management are always concerned with people's cultural cognition, values as well as ideas and paradigms that held by the government and society. From the analysis frame of organization -value-system, This paper attempts to analyze the causes and the management paradigms of the crisis from the observation of Chinese own values, to analyze the causes of crises and their management paradigms in the phase of the development of Chinese society and to propose the dissertation's own opinion on the idea transformation and function exertion of our social crisis management. Furthermore, the dissertation means to illumine the influence the management idea has on institution arrangement and policy decision as well as to clarify the loads on the government and society during social crises management, to throw light on the value orientation of the liability government in the period of the development of civil society and to consummate the system of society holding, which leads to a multi-participation way of crisis management with the government in the leading role, society as the body and individual as rational participant, and offer the basic thinking for the flexible public crisis management. The multi-combination of government-society-individual helps to improve the governmental and social efficiency in dealing with crises. Moreover, it makes the crisis management a normal thought of people. Crisis management is going to become the fundamental link in decreasing the cost of development for the incessantly development human society.Taken from complicated categories of crises, the subject of this dissertation is social crisis, which refers to the social disorder triggered by the intensification of social contradictions and various elements, as well as the events and social period that bring about impact and destruction on people's life and social management. Related with our special cultural tradition and value system, this crisis is inclined to turn into management crisis under the limited public management. Have it been not solved or evaded effectively, it would be likely to turn into political crisis, which determines that both the modern government and the effective social participation play a key role in the crisis management. Although it is unpractical to overemphasize social responsibility in a society where the growth of civil society is still under development, at least it is beneficial to specify the social responsibility to the development of the governmental governance and social health. And the start of seeking after management idea is our values. Even when a country has established administratively its own structure and mechanism on crisis management, it does not mean that the country can deal with or evade the crises effectively, since we have witnessed problems of inefficient mechanism and control in practice. The cultural background and changing value system of our society have raised us a practical issue of how to adapt the management mechanism to the social environment. The meaning of social crisis management eventually lies in the satisfaction of the value and interests of people as a whole and in the result that crisis management will no longer fail because of value conflicts.After the inspection on crises and their management, we draw the following conclusion. Crises lie in the depth of society. In modern times, we should relate the environment of crisis management closely with the market which of itself includes ventures. With the background of globalization, world market stamps crises with asymbol of world so that crises are caused not only by domestic but also foreign elements. Additionally, there must be some interest conflicts and some measures against the paradigm to some extent when our government carries out the adjustment of social structure. All these consist of the fundamental environment of current Chinese social crises. Effective management lies in the scientific design of the measures towards social crises. When crises occur, interests of different groups conflict with each other and doubts of the social conformity are raised. Under condition of information symmetry, the elevation of people's flexible psychological expectation and social tolerance is the basic resource to maintain the governmental credibility and overcome the social crises. Based on trust, the social self-organizing ability ensures the social identification with the governmental policy on crisis management and encourages people live in the uncertainty. While providing the social resource with the effective collocation, the political and cultural construction as well as the development of the civil society also offers the base for the establishment and enforcement of institution. As an old thought of settling and restraining values conflict, the political and cultural construction is also human's most natural choice to confront with conflict. In addition, the construction and consummation of the civil society which have the social impartiality and political democracy as political genes as well as the solution to the identification of the government and people, are beneficial to the governmental effective mobilization and rational collocation of social resources. As a result, the abuse of power and conflicts among different interest classes, which are incurred by moral obstacles, will be overcome. The value of participation lies in the fact that people could confirm their deserved status, goal orientation and active role during social development. The participation-oriented paradigm for crisis management lends itself to the enhancement of transparency, to further citizens' right of knowing the fact, to reduce the loss caused by crises and to realize the resolution and transformation of crises.This dissertation consists of three parts. The first part mainly probes into the basic theory of the crisis management, chapter one and chapter two included. The second part analyzes the role of the government in the crisis management in terms of the interaction between the government and the society. The third part makes a concrete analysis of the load of the social power in the multi- subjects of the government and the society.Exordium: where should we start the exploration of the origin of crises? This is to explain the essence of the title. Starting form crises along with the development, this part makes a practical description of the crises our country faces in the phase of social structure adjustment. Besides, after the exploration of people's basic judgment and the origin of crisis management, the dissertation points out the fact that the analysis dimension based on interest-value helps to understand the hindrance to the governmental crisis management brought about by the imperfection of the growth of our society. The dissertation also illustrates that the essence of social crises is the crisis of management while the solution and evasion of social crises is both the governmental duty and the social responsibility. Society is demanded to shoulder the relative functions during crisis management so as to answer the paradox of omnipotent government and social development. According to the dissertation's inspection, he believes that to regard crisis as a normal concept of society is not to keep society in tension but to solve the malfunction of management and serious social disorder under the condition of crises. Then it would be easier to reduce the cost of management as well as improve the efficiency of governmental administration.Chapter one discusses the theoretical construction of the social crisis management.It is to probe into the social base on which crises take place in terms of value. The discussion is developed through three levels. Firstly, the dissertation analyzes the traditional natural reasons. By means of the analysis of the historical background and cultural base with which the crises of public affairs happen, the dissertation explains the normal procedure of the occurrence of crises. Secondly, beginning with the changing social practice, the dissertation explores the influence on people's social participation by technical dependence and the evolution of values, and the feasibility of crisis management, viz. controllable elements. Thirdly, the dissertation analyzes the material and spiritual conditions with which our social crises come into being in a dynamic way, as well as the basic features and representation of social crises, the paper emphasizes the essence of the social crisis is the problem of governance.Chapter Two: the paradigm of crisis management during the transformation of values. Firstly, the dissertation discusses the origin of the idea of social crisis management in our country. Then he brings forward his opinion that the form and management paradigm of our social crises are influenced by the traditional conception of nature and the idea of social control. On this base, the dissertation further analyzes the basic essentials, management framework and function exertion of our social crisis management. And then he points out that in order to achieve success in management, the government must adapt its policy-making and enforcement to the public interests in specific value system. Meanwhile, he argues that it is the ultimate choice for reducing the cost of crisis management and improving the efficiency of it to construct a crisis reply mechanism which represents humanism.Chapter Three: the governmental systematic arrangement for crisis management and the analysis of its functions. As a basic function of government, crisis management determines the governmental value orientation in the systematic collocation. The dissertation discusses here under the condition of social absence, how shall the government adapt its policy-making to the social demands, how shall the government realize the harmony between the systematic arrangement and common social habits and how to avoid the dual pressure from the malfunction of both the government and society in case of crisis. In order to seek for the systematic arrangement during crisis management from the endogenetic and ectogenic perspectives, the dissertation points out that it is compulsory and fundamental to conduct social enforcement for social relief. Allowing for the features of the diffusion of crises, the dissertation reflects their influence that the ideological evolution has during the crisis management on the cognition and management. Meanwhile, the dissertation also points out that we should transform the party-boosting crisis management to system-boosting one and perfect the mechanism that is shared during crises when we transform administration to governance, so as to make clear the government's responsibilities.Chapter Four: the load on social force during crisis management. Starting with the definition of citizen society, the dissertation discloses the fact that people's original understanding of crises is hidden in the citizen society explains the inherent rationality of the government's enforcement and dissertationity in dealing with crises. And the definition of citizen society asks for the union of the governmental and social functions, the coordination of their interests and the full play of their roles. Therefore, the paper puts focus on the analysis of the society's self-organizing and crisis answering ability. According to the dissertation's view, the social effective participation is the necessary requirement of crisis management while the trust-centered social identification and tolerance is the significant capital of resolving and evading crisis management. Modern laypeople's trust on expert systemovercomes the sense of crisis caused by uncertainty, maintains the basic on society effectively and determines people's trust on and submission to powerful organization during modern technical crises. At the same time, the dissertation makes and analysis of the practical logic of social participation during crisis management in the perspective of the load on social force, pointing out that the opening of information and limitation of freedom are the guarantee of media's functional exertion during crises. The dissertation also tries to discuss the opinion on the influence that the power fulfillment has during crisis management on the development of Chinese non-governmental organization.on the base of attention on practice and critical analysis, the whole thesis puts forward the modern route to deal with the crisis, seeking after the agreement between the government and society. Dependence on technology enhances the value of scientific development idea while re-defined crisis provide people with the handle of a creative thought. Cultivation of the sense of crisis and the establishment of responsibility ethic ask for the effective adjustment of the ideological and political education mechanism. At last, the thesis emphasizes that the base of flexible management lies in the agreement between the government and society.
