Well-traveled throughout China and well-published on its
political, cultural, and business aspects, the editors of this
unusual new book and their contributing authors give a systematic
analysis of public sector management--as it is now and as it is
emerging--in a country of massive size, now in retreat from a
centrally planned economy. Many features of the new reforms
parallel the movement toward new public management in the West.
Functions have been transferred away from China's public sector,
including the government, and into the private sector, and many of
the managerial tools common in the private sector have been
introduced into the public sector. The book thus analyzes the
logic, mechanisms, and designs of new public management in China.
It examines context-bound issues, in the light of the legacies of
massive state intervention, the transition away from centralized
planning, the structure of the Leninist party-state, and Chinese
bureaucratic culture. Finally it discusses and illustrates events
in a variety of policy areas, and in doing so, draws upon unique
interviews and field studies developed personally by each
contributor. The result is an important insight into China and how
its public sector operates, one that will have special value for
professionals in international development, finance, banking,
government, economics, politics, and for their academic colleagues
as well.
