The Application Of Public Crisis Management In Erupted Food Safe Emergencies

Although the high-speed growth of China's economy outshines the rest of the world, this eye-catching growth is also accompanied by high risk, especially the frequently erupted food safe emergencies (the "Emergency"). How to response to and handle the emergency is one of the most urgent issues for us.Emergency, bearing the characteristics of unpredictable and unpreventable, is part of the public life. It occurrences everyday, and ends everyday. Different ways to handle it will result in totally different consequences. Without crisis management system, the emergency is approaching. To some extent, China is still in the "planned economy" stage on handling emergency. Crisis Management is picking up, but still has a long way to go.Based on the fundamental theory of public crisis management, the author elaborates the relationship between emergency and public crisis management from different aspects: social and political definition of food safety, stage theory of crisis development, crisis cause theory and balance of power theory under state of emergency. Intension and extension of emergency is explored in detail through typical case analysis. Assimilating the regulatory system and experiences of other countries, combined with the situation of China, the author proposes that a brand-new public crisis management model and mechanism should be explored under the guidance of new government crisis management theory. Thus, we will find a new way to respond to and control emergency, improve emergency handling capability, alleviate the impact and loss to the whole society brought by the emergencies, and provide basis to design scientific regulatory regime.
