Abstract

Discipline construction is crucial for the high-quality development of universities, as it shapes the evolution of the discipline structure and internal logic of macro development. This process mainly involves a three-tier logic encompassing government, university, and market dynamics. However, there are still some challenges in promoting university discipline construction. These include government resource allocation biases, disorderly competition in discipline construction, and misalignment between market demand and disciplines.To address these issues from a multi-system perspective, solutions can be implemented across three dimensions: Firstly, building a community of interest in discipline construction from a governmental standpoint; secondly, optimizing the environment for discipline development within universities; and finally expanding incentive mechanisms within the market dimension. By doing so, external support for university discipline construction can be established amidst the backdrop of high-quality development while continuously consolidating positive trends in university discipline development.
