Drawing on more than a decade of fieldwork, The Logic of Governance
in China develops a unified theoretical framework to explain how
China's centralized political system maintains governance and how
this process produces recognizable policy cycles that are obstacles
to bureaucratic rationalization, professionalism, and rule of law.
The book is unique for the overarching framework it develops; one
that sheds light on the interconnectedness among apparently
disparate phenomena such as the mobilizational state, bureaucratic
muddling through, collusive behaviors, variable coupling between
policymaking and implementation, inverted soft budget constraints,
and collective action based on unorganized interests. An exemplary
combination of theory-motivated fieldwork and empirically-informed
theory development, this book offers an in-depth analysis of the
institutions and mechanisms in the governance of China.
