Social work in the process of Chinese-style modernization: Process, characteristics and operation mechanism

Abstract

Since the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, a new modernization road, a
Chinese-style modernization development road has been stepped out. Among them, using social work as a system setting and governance
tool to participate in the solution of major national strategic issues is an important way for the Communist Party of China to govern the
country. The relevant social work policy texts formulated and implemented by the state since the founding of the People’s Republic of
China have “eff ectively enhanced the eff ectiveness of social work in participating in grassroots social governance, actively responded to the
realistic requirements of social governance innovation, and played an irreplaceable fundamental role in ensuring basic people’s livelihood,
providing basic social services and innovating grassroots social governance”. This paper places social work in the process of modernization,
clarifi es the path, characteristics and logical mechanism of the Communist Party of China to promote Chinese-style modernization through
social work, and analyzes the principal position, operating mechanism and laws of social work in the process of modernization.
