| To constract an innovative country is a significant strategic choice made by our country under the actual needs of the transformation of economic and social development, is one of the core strategy of the current and coming period of economic and social development. Constracting an innovative country, as an engineering system, is not only the development of scientific and technological innovation, but about the system changes in all areas of society, so it needs to be driven both by science innovation and technology innovation in social field. At the same time, the proposition of building the social goal and the concern on social management innovatio indicate that China would farewell economic policy era but towards the era of economic and social policies together. After the continuous development of reform and opening up policy, China’s social forces continue to grow, and the social field also gradually separates from the economic field and administrators areas, becoming into a relatively independent space. In the transformation of the economic and social development, the conflicts in social area are relatively prominent, compared with the requirements of the scientific outlook on development, there is still a long way to go. In this context, social innovation, as one of the "double driving force" for building an innovation-oriented country, as an effective way to relieve social condiction, to alleviate conflicts of interest, and the effective means to innovate social management mechanism and social policy, is increasingly showing its importance, and gradually becomes the focus of academic concern. From the perspective of social innovation, our construction of an innovative country lacks a strong support from the vibrant social base, which restricts implementation of the innovative national strategies. So from the social innovation perspective to observe the social basis of an innovative country, to analyze the existing problems of the social basis for China’s building an innovative country, and then from the transformation of government functions, optimization of the social structure, social management system innovation and social policies, to explore the realistic ways to foster social basis for the innovation country, undoubtedly, there will be important theoretical and practical significance.Based on the reality of lacking theoretical and practical research on social innovation, the writer first determines the concept of social innovation, then starts with exitsing research on social innovation problems and extends the concept of innovation-oriented country as the logical beginning. After combing and referring of existing research on theories and practices, the writer makes an explicit explaination of value orientation, basic functions and the way of realizing for social innovation, and extends the concept of innovative country from just technological perspective to social innovation perspective, which inriches the connotation of an innovative country, at the same time, more accyrately reflects the actual situation of our country. Besides it offers a solid theoretical foundation of this research.Deep analysis of the status quo of our social foundation is the basis to foster an innovation-oriented country. Because the present situation of our country, the transformation of government functions, the growth of civil society, the establishment of social policy, and the status of the social management system, can not meet the needs of building a vibrant innovative-power society, either, to provide strong social support for the smoothly implementation of the innovative national strategy, which is the urgent and realistic issues to face to. Moreover, the impact of globalization, and the special background that the transformation of economic and social development, call for urgent forsistering of social basis of innovative country, meanwhile, the globalization and the great success of reform and opening-up policy under the guidance of scientific outlook of development, brought development opportunities, challenges, the theoretical consensus and fresh experience, which in return, offers large resources and good theory base for cultivating social basis of innovation-oriented country, provides it a realistic possibility.From the point of social innovation to cultivate the social basis of an innovative country, will contributes to triger the double driving force of social innovation and technology innovation, and by promoting an innovation culture and perfecting national innovation mechanism, will provide support for the implementation of national innovative strategies. As part of the construction of the social field, in a certain sense, it can be considered as a subset of the socialism harmonious society, because on one side, it can benefit from the good atmosphere that the harmonious society creates, on the other, it can also provide support for the building of a harmonious socialism society. It is well-known that the society is made up of people, and social development is bound to acquire human freedom and human comprehensive development as its final purpose, so to cultivate social basis of the innovation-oriented country must follow this purpose, especially, our country is a China characteristics socialism innovative country. In this sense, the cultivation of innovative national social basis will contribute to the development of our people in reality, to the change of the uneven status of China’s human development, thus improve the quality of our citizens, in turn, it will also provide a solid personnel protection mechnism for building an innovative country.In order to eventually implement the goal of cultivating the social basis for the innovation-oriented country, it must need the guidance of philosophy and a realistic path. From the reality of our country to build an innovative country, the social basis of China characteristics socialism innovative country, must uphold the basic concept of social justice, human orientation, collegiality and rule sharing. And make efforts from the transformation of government functions, the social class structure optimization, coordination and rationalization of the interests relationship and implementation of scientific and rational social policy, innovation of social management system and building a scientific and rational social innovation system and other aspects, to make government, market and society each perform its own functions. In the implementation of innovative national strategy, we must spare no effort to discover community, nurture community, to clarify the boundaries of various fields, to stimulate the creativity energy of society, and make it fully spilled, so that citizens’ rights are protected, the interest to be coordinated and social contradictions can be eased, thus contributing to the smooth implementation of innovative national strategy and the ultimate realization of human freedom and comprehensive development. |
