Thoughts on flexible governance in environmental mass incidents

Abstract

The occurrence of environmental group events often brings harm to public interests. According to the traditional thinking, many local governments deal with mass incidents simply and roughly, and lack of effective communication, consultation and persuasion, which fully exposes the loopholes in government public management. In view of environmental mass incidents, we should not only be aware of citizens' dissatisfaction with the government, but also realize that citizens' awareness of environmental rights is revived. The government can communicate and negotiate with the public through flexible governance, so as to promote the good solution of environmental mass incidents.
