Abstract

Based on the perspective of administrative subcontracting, this paper builds a framework to analyze the governance changes occurring in China’s big science infrastructures (BSIs). The construction goal of BSIs has always been based on basic research, with the formation of a “central ministries-operational organization” administrative subcontracting relationship. Under this relationship, the governance rights were mainly monopolized by the Chinese Academy of Sciences or research universities, the government lacked effective governance authority, and retention of the status quo was the only optional strategy regardless of the assessment result, which was not an effective development model. With the construction of comprehensive national science centre, BSIs have emerged a new construction goal which is supporting industrial development. In the new era with the theme of “innovation-driven development”, local governments have begun to embed in the administrative subcontracting relationship, and “changing subcontracting tasks” and “changing subcontractors” have been added as alternative technocratic strategies, rebuilding the governance authority of government and promoting the formation of a sustainable governance model for BSIs.
