Social governance mechanisms in China under the impact of globalization
The article is devoted to the consideration of the evolution of social governance in China in the context of globalization, starting from the pre-reform period and ending with the modern stage. To achieve this goal, the tasks are solved, consisting in the analysis of scientific and educational literature on the transformation of social security mechanisms, the influence of globalization on social policy, as well as the role of socio-cultural factors in the formation of the social governance system. It is emphasized that the literature pays attention to both traditional aspects of Chinese society, such as collectivism, hierarchy and family ties, and modern trends related to the development of civil society, volunteerism and patriotism. The authors believe that the most promising direction of research is the study of the influence of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the improvement of the social governance system, including the concept of unification of power and an emphasis on the rule of law. The article analyzes examples of specific social mechanisms, such as reforms in the field of health care, education, pensions and unemployment benefits. Particular attention is paid to the transition from the model of social control to social governance based on democracy, the rule of law and pluralistic cooperation between the state and society. The authors conclude that social governance in China in the context of globalization is aimed at creating a harmonious and prosperous society where every citizen can realize his or her potential, and the state ensures stability and development based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. In conclusion, the importance of further studying socio-cultural factors and adapting the social governance system to new challenges and conditions of globalization is emphasized in order to ensure long-term stability and development of Chinese society.
