"Risk society" has been one of the most acceptable and discussible concepts in social science since 1980's-1990's of the last century.It should become an inevitable tendency for the development of future society.The basic reason for the forming of the risk society is the transferring from traditional risks to modern risks.There are five major risk sources of the risk society: population,resources and environment,science and technology,organization and institution and socioeconomic structures.At the same time the elements of globalization,urbanization,the polarity between rich and poor,the weakening of social governance capability and popularization of public risk perception,all these play a role of catalyst for the risk society.In order to get an effective governance of risk society,people have to consider and design some principles,measures and methods of risk governance from strategic perspectives.In this thesis,the authors raised ten strategies for the effective governance of the risk society,including politics,market,society,culture,organization,mechanism,law,information,science and technology and international cooperation.
