Anticipatory Governance:A New Perspective of Public Management Studies
In the context of increasingly complex and uncertain risks,anticipatory governance has emerged as a significant governance concept,attracting considerable academic attention.Anticipatory governance is a new governance model that explores the future through the participation and communication of multiple stakeholders,integrates resources at present and takes proactive actions to respond to future uncertainties and risks.This model is characterized by future-oriented foresight,diverse participants and proactive governance,which provides a new perspective of proactive governance for public management.Research on anticipatory governance primarily encompasses three approaches:technology and risk,sustainable development,and public policy-making.This research is practical in orientation and multidisciplinary in nature.Future studies on anticipatory governance can focus on relevant theoretical issues,data-driven new models,dialogues with policy process theory,and the practices in the Chinese context.
