Abstract:Correctly grasping the evolutionary logic and future direction of the policy of equalization of basic public services is of great significance to satisfy the people’s urgent needs for a better life and realize the two centenary strategic goals. Based on the policy text from 2002 to 2020, from the perspective of public value theory, it is not difficult to find that the equalization of basic public services has experienced three stages, including policy agenda (2002-2006), policy pilots (2007-2011), systematic planning and comprehensive promotion (2012-2020), which is manifested in the policy evolutionary logic of seeking, determining and creating public value,highlighting the characteristics of the government’s top-down campaign-style governance. The equalization policy in the new development stage is facing new challenges such as “new contradictions”, “new structures”, “new technologies” and “new epidemics”, as well as new requirements to match the modernization of national governance and high-quality development, which is bound to bring significant influence on the policy’s coverage population, supply structure, service methods, resource allocation, financial support and governance strategies. It is recommended to promote the transformation of equalization policy from campaign-style governance to normalized governance from the aspects of strengthening the institutional supply of normalized governance, perfecting the basic public service legal system, improving the policy implementation ability and strengthening the policy performance evaluation.
