Theory Explanation and Policy Recommendation on Inverted Socialized Support

Abstract

The concept of inverted socialized support summarizes the all-round urgent supporting actions implemented by the army for rescue and relief to the stricken people and areas in the serious natural calamities. In this article, we discussed the origin of this phenomenon in the way of institutional analysis. At the micro level, we draw a conclusion that the army’s ideology and non-symmetry information urge armyman to pursue his own self-value. At the macro level, we find that the bureaucratic institution and scale economy of the army reduce the transaction costs of the urgent support of rescue and relief which guarantee the effective implementation of urgent support by the army.
