Abstract:
 The basic logic of social governance in developed western countries has been focusing on the balance among the society, market and government, which are always in great tension. The aim of their social governance is to keep the society from the invading of government and market. While social governance in China tends to get government, market and society working together. After the planned economy and economical reform since the 1980s, ideology gradually shifts from the emphasis of “class struggle” to highlighting “economic development”, but along the process Chinese society is severely atomized and disintegrated. In this “New Normal” economy, taking the building of a society that favors people’s livelihood as its logical start, social governance should get government, market and society united to cooperate in innovation, making each playing its own role while consciously maintaining mission and interests of all sides.

Key words: Social Governance, people’s livelihood, Government, Market, Society
