Adaptive Governance Research:Status and Future Prospects
With the expansion and deepening of human activities on ecosystems,adaptive governance has become an emerging governance mode to deal with the characteristics of multi-stability,non-linear,uncertainty,integrity,and com-plexity of complex systems.Adaptive governance is based on the theories of ecological resilience and self-organization.Its most prominent features are in its development-oriented concept and dynamic adaptability.It also has many realization paths,including core concepts such as multi-center and multi-level governance system,social network,and social learn-ing.Adaptive governance in China arrived late and has not yet formed a theoretical system.Therefore,it is necessary to es-tablish an adaptive governance system in line with China's politics,economy,and culture,by focusing on the nation's ex-perience.At the same time,adaptive governance research is also expanding to other fields,so we need to be cautious in the process of learning.
