Abstract:Public policies are formulated in an environment of high risks and uncertainty.Whether they trigger public antagonism or even social risks depends on the public's understanding of the government's public decision-making process and the extent to which public decision-making responds to public expectations against social context.The adjustment of the construction scope of “double first-class”,a major public educational decision made by the government,is related to the redistribution of major social interests,involving many possible risks.The conflicts and disputes caused by improper decision-making may cause risks to social stability.The potential risks have following characteristics:they have wide influence and high sensitivity;they attract wide public attention and expectation;they are very complicated and hard to balance;they are highly risky and can trigger massive ripple effects.To guard against possible risks,in the adjustment of the scope of “double first-class”construction.we should take following measures:we should implement a risk assessment mechanism for major decisions on social stability and anticipate risks in advance;we should increase transparency in information,guide social expectation in an appropriate way,and increase interaction with public opinion;we should conduct investigation in a rule-by-law way,prescribe rules,and increase transparency and credibility;we should expand public participation in the adjustment decision-making process,take into account the demands and interests of all parties to make rules completely legitimate;we should effectively improve the implementation methods so that the list of the top universities can be dynamically adjusted for a healthy competition.
