Risk overload is becoming a reality

From:社科报2021-7-23 14:01

Yang Xuedong and Chen Xiaotong wrote in the third issue of governance research in 2021 that risk has become the norm of modern society, and risk overload is becoming a reality in all countries and around the world. Once the low probability risk breaks out, it may exceed the response capacity and response capacity of the "jurisdictional" governance system built around the nation-state, resulting in governance disorder. The global outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia confirms the profound insight of risk society theory put forward by Ulrich Beck et al. To solve this contradiction, we must break through the confinement of the thinking of "jurisdictional governance" and its institutional arrangements, and surpass the thinking of "jurisdictional governance" based on jurisdiction with the thinking of "spatial governance" based on human communication. China's success in novel coronavirus pneumonia is based on the regulation of risk society and the adjustment of governance system and the innovation of governance mechanism according to "space governance".
