A Study On The Bottlenecks In Reforming China's University Presses

For a long time, China's university presses had been affiliated with their respective universities as a second-level institution. Since the Sixteenth National Congress, they have begun reforming the whole system instead of restructuring within the system like before. The General Administration of Press and Publication required that all China's university presses would be transformed into enterprises by the end of 2009.During the reform process, university presses have achieved remarkable results and have exposed some problems as well. As for the hot topic of reforming university presses, this paper will deeply analyze the existing problems in the system reform and give some solutions correspondingly.For the university presses, system reform does not mean that they will passively wait for institutional arrangement, but mean that they will carefully study the related national policies, master correct reform thoughts, and actively speed up reform so as to seek better development. This is the significance to choose and study this topic.Various kinds of difficulties rising from the system reform constitute the bottlenecks hindering the reform process. In summary, they mainly include bottlenecks in the following three aspects: property rights, university-society relations, and personnel arrangement. Based on a detailed and objective analysis of the existing bottlenecks in the reform process, this paper mainly puts forward a development strategy after university presses'system reform–"Correctly Relocating Themselves as Enterprises and Actively Overcome Reform Bottlenecks".
