A Study of System Collaborative Governance Mechanism for Managing Imported Public Health Risks in Frontier Ethnic Minority Areas
Public health security risk is gener-ally understood as a component of non-traditional security threats,always potentially endangering na-tional security.Since the outbreak of COVID-19 pneumonia in 2020,public health safety risks have regained prominence,echoing the earlier attention garnered during the SARS outbreak and reaching peak national awareness.Despite the inclusion of COVID-19 infections in China's disease control framework,in this case in the"B-tube,"the pub-lic health security risk remains severe,compoun-ded by emerging threats like mycoplasma pneumo-nia and influenza.As a result,management efforts continue under significant pressure.Through a re-view of related studies,it is found that China has amassed substantial research achievements in the governance of public health security risks,provi-ding scientific theoretical foundations for its gov-ernance practice.However,future developments in public health security risks are difficult to predict due to their uncertainty,underscoring the persis-tent need for extensive research in this area.China's frontier ethnic regions are predomi-nantly situated along its international borders.These regions serve not only as China's frontiers in opening up to the outside world but also as vulner-able zones susceptible to possible imported public health security risks.Therefore,how to effectively manage such imported public health risks in fron-tier ethnic areas is an important potential challenge to be solved.First of all,findings show that it is imperative to establish a systematic approach to the risk management of imported public health security in these areas.By examining the causes,influen-cing factors,and development trends of such risks,risk management strategies can be formulated.These may include the following six aspects:En-try-exit controls,policies concerning marriage and childbirth,smuggling prevention,and public health security,as well as regulations governing employment practices and social public security.All for the purpose of a more systematic,compre-hensive,and effective approach to the management of these potential health risks.This paper also finds that one should be aware that the above six aspects(entry-exit,marriage and childbirth,smuggling prevention,public health security,em-ployment practices,and social public security)constitute six sub-systems of the whole system for the risk management of imported public health se-curity in frontier ethnic minority areas.In addi-tion,the key to transforming institutional advanta-ges into governance efficiency is viewing these six subsystems as an organic whole,and not simply put together.In other words,it is necessary to build an institutional collaborative governance mechanism for managing imported public health se-curity risks in border ethnic minority areas.Final-ly,establishing a collaborative governance mecha-nism for this system is paramount,achieved by 1)promoting synergy among the systems through insti-tutional building to establish the synergy mecha-nism of the system,2)ensuring efficient opera-tional synergy,and 3)enhancing its sustainability and development through coordinated institutional support.In sum,the management of imported public health security risks in border ethnic minority areas is a continuous work,which cannot be accom-plished overnight.These areas are the frontline de-fense against such possible risks.If those risks cannot be effectively controlled,it will directly af-fect the economic,ecological,cultural and other aspects of development of these regions,and even pose a serious threat to national security.There-fore,these regions would require a systemic coor-dination governance mechanism to mitigate such threats effectively.
