| Since the industrial revolution, the ecological crisis began to emerge andenvironment deteriorates, which encourages us deeply reflects our insanenature-exploitation action and look forward to the brand-new development of humancivilization. Ecological civilization is the post-industrious and more advancedcivilization form which is the effective path to mitigate the conflict between humanbeings and nature. To achieve wild China dream, ecological civilization is both thebasis and kernel. Ecological civilization is more than environment protection but acomplex system project with diverse dimensions, levels and spheres. In nature, it mustpermeate the whole process and every aspect of economic construction, politicalconstruction, cultural construction and social construction. Ecological civilizationconstruction requires both the research and promotion of green technology as well asgreen technology innovation and its corresponding system building.The general thought of my dissertation is with regarding the mutual interactionbetween technology and system as the analysis perspective and theoretical foundation,I systematically expound the dialectical relationship between green technologyinnovation and ecological civilization system and discuss which system can enhancethe technology progress while which technology can encourage system transformationand innovation. Specifically, my dissertation includes seven trains of thought: theinsane exploitation of industrial civilization gives rise to ecological crisis; people areeager for overcoming the ecological crisis and walking toward a heavenlycivilization-ecological civilization; the establishment of ecological civilizationrequires the support of ecological civilization system; the improvement of ecologicalcivilization system needs the support from green technology; the progress of greentechnology desiderates the innovation of green technology while the innovation ofgreen technology requires system guarantee; illustrate current situation of the newforeign innovation system of green technology and the system element which impedesthe green technology innovation of China; discuss the path to construct China’s greentechnology innovation interaction institutional system from the perspective of policyencouragement system, modern market system, social participation system andharmonious culture system.With presenting the topic-selecting background and coming up with facing the serious ecological crisis, the introduction of this dissertation illustrates the necessityand significance of green technology innovation and ecological civilization system,which also shows the current research situation of green technology, green technologyinnovation, technology advancement and system transformation. In general, theintroduction states both the theoretical and practical significance of this dissertationand analyzes the research thought trains, methods and frames. Furthermore, theresearch emphasis and potential creative point is revealed. The major part of thewhole dissertation includes six chapters:The first chapter discusses the transformation and mutual interaction betweentechnology and system. This chapter can be divided into four sections: technology andtechnology determinism; system and system determinism; the historical investigationof interaction between technology and system; and the mutual interaction betweentechnology development and system transformation. Through this chapter, I alsoanalyze the factors which shall influence the technology development and systemtransformation. Besides, the dialectical relationship between technology developmentand system transformation is also referred in this chapter.The second chapter discusses that the transformation of ecological civilizationneeds the support from green technology. This chapter includes three sections: thesource of ecological crisis; the transformation of ecological civilization; and the riseof green technology. In this chapter, the manifestations, features, and source ofecological crisis are analyzed. Furthermore, it shows that the transformation ofecological civilization is a great reform in the development of human civilization.Finally, from the perspectives of theoretical foundation, practical significance, anddevelopment frontier, the green technology is analyzed systematically.The third chapter discusses the innovation pursuit of green technologydevelopment. This chapter is developed with four sections: the trend from traditionaltechnology innovation to green technology innovation; the theoretical foundation ofgreen technology innovation; the motivation of green technology innovation; and thesystem of green technology innovation. In detail, the distinction between greentechnology innovation and traditional technology innovation is achieved. Besides, theprinciple, motivation, and practical significance of green technology innovation areconfirmed. Particularly, the relationship between green technology innovation andsustainable development, ecological civilization, low-carbon development, and harmonious society is probed into. Last, both the internal and external motivation ofgreen technology innovation is demonstrated as well as the contents, compositions,and functions of green technology innovation system.The fourth chapter discusses the system of foreign green technology innovation.This chapter is constituted with three parts: the current situation of foreign greentechnology innovation system; the experience of foreign green technology innovationsystem; and the development trend of foreign green technology innovation system. Inthis chapter, some developed countries are discussed as case examples, such as USA,UK, Germany, Japan and Singapore. With these cases, I elaborate the current systemsituation of foreign green technology innovation, summarize the successfulexperiences, and analyze its development trend from the perspectives of policy, law,market and social participation.The fifth chapter discusses the system factors which impede China’s greentechnology innovation. There are four sections of this chapter: the practicalexploration of China’s green technology innovation; the current system situationwhich hinders China’s green technology innovation; the prominent conflict faced byChina’s green technology innovation system; the reasons why China’s greentechnology innovation system is hindered. Armed with the perspectives of theimperfection of green technology innovation encouragement mechanism, the short ofmotivation power of green technology innovation within firms, the unsoundness ofsocietal participation system, and the imperfection of legal institution, I analyze thecurrent green technology innovation and probe into the prominent conflict with whichthe green technology innovation system faces. Searching through the externaleconomy’s problems, the offside, lack, and dislocation of government’s functions, thescientific impetuosity, fraud, and academic corruption, the exam-oriented educationsystem which kills creative thoughts, and culture weakness, the system elementswhich impede green technology innovation is revealed with great care.The sixth chapter demonstrates the path to establish the interaction institutionalsystem of green technology innovation in China. This chapter includes three sections:the principle and thought of building green technology innovation interactioninstitutional system; China’s green technology innovation interaction institutionalsystem; the way of constructing China’s green technology innovation interactioninstitutional system. In this chapter, the types of China’s green technology innovation system is demonstrated which are policy motivation system, modern market system,social participation system, culture promotion system and legal safeguard system.Based on this demonstration, the supportive function of five systems toward greentechnology innovation is discussed. Among this, the internal relations and linkagemechanism of five systems is also referred. Finally, I propose the path to improveinteraction institutional system of green technology innovation in China whichincludes streamline administration and institute decentralization with scientific policysystem, market orientation with strengthening corporate’s principal status, vigorouslyincreasing social participation level through extensive persuasion, idea guidance toencourage green technology innovative culture, and advocate legal rule throughregulating and improving legal security system.The conclusion part of this dissertation systematically generalizes the researchfruits and anticipates the further research questions from both the theoretical andpractical aspects. |
