Food safety risk management is an important cross-boundary issue from both theoretical and practical standpoints. Because food safety has the social attributes of public goods, public-public collaboration can be considered a particularly important mode of cross-boundary governance. The study aims to provide a theoretical basis for the Chinese government to promote public-public collaboration for food safety risk management by identifying key factors.
Based on a review of literature across diverse fields, such as political science, sociology, and new public governance, this study discusses the essence, modes, and dilemma of public-public collaboration for food safety risk management using practical explorations in various countries as the main thread and taking into account the actual situation in China. Moreover, this study quantitatively analyzes the relationships between the dimensions and factors affecting public-public collaboration and identifies key dimensions and factors using the Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory-based Analytic Network Process (DANP).
Among the 20 factors in the calculation results of DANP, Lawmaking has the highest value of ( + ) (7.022) and ranks sixth in terms of influence weight. The ( + )value of Professionalism (6.993) ranks second and its influence weight ranks fourth. The ( + ) value of Administrative enforcement (6.722) ranks fifth, and its influence weight ranks seventh. The ( + ) value of Improvement of the social environment (6.699) ranks sixth, and its influence weight ranks fifth. The ( + ) value of Legal authorization (6.614) ranks seventh, and its influence weight ranks tenth. Data analysis indicated that these are the five key factors affecting the governance capacity in public-public collaboration for food safety risk management.
The legal basis is the most important dimension affecting public-public collaboration. Legislation-based governance, administrative law enforcement-based governance, and social environment improvement-based governance in the behavior and capabilities dimension, professionalism in the basic characteristics dimension, and laws and regulations in the legal basis dimension are the five key factors.
食品安全风险管理从理论和实践角度来看都是一个重要的跨界问题。由于食品安全具有公共物品的社会属性，公私合作可被视为一种特别重要的跨界治理模式。本研究旨在通过识别关键因素，为中国政府推动食品安全风险管理的公私合作提供理论依据。
基于对政治学、社会学和新公共治理等不同领域文献的综述，本研究以各国的实践探索为主线，结合中国实际情况，探讨食品安全风险管理公私合作的本质、模式和困境。此外，本研究运用基于决策试验与评价实验室的网络层次分析法（DANP），对影响公私合作的维度和因素之间的关系进行定量分析，并识别关键维度和因素。
在DANP计算结果的20个因素中，立法的（+）值最高（7.022），影响权重排名第六。专业性的（+）值（6.993）排名第二，影响权重排名第四。行政执法的（+）值（6.722）排名第五，影响权重排名第七。社会环境改善的（+）值（6.699）排名第六，影响权重排名第五。法律授权的（+）值（6.614）排名第七，影响权重排名第十。数据分析表明，这些是影响食品安全风险管理公私合作治理能力的五个关键因素。
法律基础是影响公私合作的最重要维度。行为与能力维度中的立法治理、行政执法治理和社会环境改善治理，基本特征维度中的专业性，以及法律基础维度中的法律法规，是五个关键因素。
