Sci-tech system reform requires a new paradigm:Theoretical exploration
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,the Party Central Committee has comprehensively promoted the reform of the sci-tech management system,and has made significant progress.Nevertheless,facing the recent massive transformation in science and technology,China not only requires intensifying and deepening the sci-tech reform,but also demands profound reflections on its current reform mode and further exploration of a new reform paradigm compatible with China's endeavor for a world power of science and technology.This study analyzes the challenges of China's sci-tech transformation and the bottleneck of the problem-oriented repair paradigm for sci-tech reform,demonstrating the urgent need for China to break away from outdated sci-tech reform frameworks and establish a new paradigm.Moreover,based on the theory of structural dynamics and China's economic reform practice since 1978,it proposes ideas such as transcending the"problem-oriented"paradigm to shape the new reform impetus,exploring"constructivist","ecological"and"nurturing"reform modes adapt to different situation in sci-tech transformation,breaking through reform bottlenecks to find"the path of least resistance",and integrating all the above to construct a theoretical model of a structural reform paradigm.Finally,it proposes that the Chinese Academy of Sciences as the"evolutionary island"for the national sci-tech system reform,to put the structural reform paradigm in practice,and pave the path of least resistance for China to build itself into world power of science and technology.
