Multiple Dilemmas in the Implementation of "Double Reduction" Policy from the Perspective of Stakeholders and Its Mitigation Strategies

Different stakeholders form a complex situation in the policy implementation process based on their concerns about their interests. Clarifying the power distribution and interests of the stakeholders involved and categorizing and scientifically managing them will help to promote the "Double Reduction" policy to be stable and far-reaching. Based on the stakeholder perspective, a four-part structural framework of normative premise, descriptive foundation, contradictory analysis, and instrumental strategy is constructed for the effective implementation of the "Double Reduction" policy. The normative premise of the effective implementation of the "Double Reduction" policy needs to consider the legitimacy and rationality of introducing the perspective of stakeholders into the "Double Reduction" policy. On the one hand, the descriptive basis of the "Double Reduction" policy needs to depict the subject map of the "Double Reduction" policy stakeholders panoramic from the aspects of students, teachers, families, schools, governments and society. On the other hand, stakeholders need to be classified according to the heterogeneous distribution of interests and power. The analysis of the contradiction between the stakeholders of the "Double Reduction" policy involves four contradictions: community contradiction, competing contradiction, competitive contradiction and cooperative contradiction. The instrumental strategy for effectively implementing the "Double Reduction" policy is the mitigation strategy, which needs to build a coordinated and common development path for stakeholders from four aspects: dynamic maintenance, satisfaction, minimum effort and attention.
