Description

Explore the complex realities of Chinese politics and policy-making with this academic study from the Routledge Contemporary China Series. While China maintains a centralized formal structure, this book reveals the significant regional and local variations that define its governance. As China's reform process matures, these trends of experimentation have become even more prominent. This work provides a comprehensive look at the politics of policy formation, diffusion, and implementation at the subnational level. Rather than relying on theory alone, the author uses extensive fieldwork to explain how policies actually move across the country. You will gain a deeper understanding of the specific mechanisms local governments use to arrive at decisions and how they navigate the tension between central mandates and local realities. This is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in the practical application of law and administration within the Chinese political system.
