regulations were collected. Historically speaking, the research of the security legislation of public
cultural service in China was commenced relatively late. The first thesis with the subject of public
cultural service system construction was published in 2006, which clearly put forward that the
government should strengthen the policies on the construction of public cultural service and the
right protection. However, after the sixth plenary session of the 17th Central Committee was held
in 2011, relevant researches developed rapidly and the number of the papers in related topics has
been increasing year by year. This situation reflects that the security legislation of public cultural
services is being highly focused by the academic circles in China, and the related researches are
strengthened, and the achievements are constantly emerging. In practice, the exploration of the
security legislation of public cultural service has been implemented from the central government
to local governments. At present, The Public Cultural Service Security Act of the People’s
Republic of China has already been passed. And it will be enforced in March 1st, 2017. At the
local level, many provinces and cities have successively promulgated and implemented a number
of laws, regulations or normative documents, such as Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Suzhou and
Shenzhen.
Through analyzing the researches and the practical achievements, we can see that there are
breakthroughs on the researches of the security legislation of public cultural service in the past
ten years in respect of the breadth and depth as well as the methods. And also the practical results
are fruitful. In terms of the scope of the research, the current research includes the introduction
and analysis of the foreign experiences and also includes the summaries and thinking of the
domestic theoretical research. In terms of the depth of the research, the current research includes
the top design of the regulations, the contemporary value of the legislation, citizen’s culture rights
and so on at the macro level; it includes organization legislation, organization establishment,
corporate governance and so on at the meso level; and it also includes the feasibility, principles,
models and techniques of the legislation and so on at the micro level. The research on the security
legislation of public cultural service is at multi-levels. In these studies, methods of theoretical
analyzing, policies interpreting, case referring, and individual case researching are widely used.
At the same time, some relevant problems have come out. First, the legislation in public
culture field is relatively lagged behind, and the security legislation of public cultural service
is at the primary stage. Second, the local practice of the legislation is prior to the practice of
the central legislation. Since the level of the local laws and regulations is relatively low, the
constraint force is relatively weak; therefore, the systematical higher-level law should be made
to support and guide the legislation of public cultural services. Finally, the quantity of relevant
articles published in the core academic journals is relatively low, and the number of articles
published in the newspapers is relatively large. A few graduation thesis addressed on the issues
of the security legislation for public cultural service, but systematical and in-depth research
papers are less.
