Description

Explore how China transformed its governance structure through civil service reform in response to market economy challenges and modernisation demands. This comprehensive analysis examines the administrative reforms implemented by post-Mao authorities to reshape personnel management and improve governmental decision-making. Discover how the nationwide civil service system, launched in 1993, fundamentally changed the selection and promotion of public officials by emphasising capability and work performance over traditional approaches. The book provides critical insight into China's efforts to build a more effective bureaucracy whilst navigating the complexities of economic development and social change. Essential reading for understanding contemporary Chinese governance, public administration reform, and the institutional foundations of modern China's policy-making processes.
