Emergency Management Tournament: Ideal Model, Essence and Present Situation of the Incentive

Abstract

With the continuous improvement of the structure and institution of the emergency management system, the relevant research has become increasingly rich, but the direct subject of emergency management - "people" has not been paid enough attention to; The current normalized political tournament theory is difficult to explain the behavior and choices of " restrictive and safety-ensured tasks" conducted by local officials under emergency management. This article constructs the "people"- based emergency management tournament theory, and makes up the lack of "people" theory in emergency management and the deficiency of political tournament in emergency management field. Firstly, this article constructs an ideal model of emergency management tournament from the concept, conditions and officials' goals in theory. Secondly, according to the different degrees of accountability and incentive, it builds a two-dimensional matrix of four incentive modes, namely "stagnated stalemate", "radical achievement", "conservative fear" and "balanced innovation", and then systematically refines the essence of emergency management tournament theoretically and practically. Thirdly, focusing on practice, it analyzes the incentive effect and limitations of the current emergency management tournament. The reasons for the incentive limitations are that the implementation conditions of the emergency management tournament in the ideal model are not fully met, and the model of "emphasizing accountability and neglecting incentive" in reality. Finally, this article puts forward the countermeasures and suggestions to further improve the emergency management tournament.
