The lack of significant improvement in people s health status
and other mounting health challenges in China raise a puzzling
question about the country s internal transition: why did the
reform-induced dynamics produce an economic miracle, but fail to
reproduce the success Mao had achieved in the health sector? This
book examines the political and policy dynamics of health
governance in post-Mao China. It explores the
political-institutional roots of the public health and health care
challenges and the evolution of the leaders policy response in
contemporary China. It argues that reform-induced institutional
dynamics, when interacting with Maoist health policy structure in
an authoritarian setting, have not only contributed to the rising
health challenges in contemporary China, but also shaped the
patterns and outcomes of China s health system transition. The
study of China s health governance will further our understanding
of the evolving political system in China and the complexities of
China s rise. As the world economy and international security are
increasingly vulnerable to major disease outbreaks in China, it
also sheds critical light on China s role in global health
governance. "
