“…Implementing social science research methods in keeping with the standards of leading journals poses a further challenge. Some scholars have examined topics using longitudinal datasets taken from administrative records that start to explore questions about causality in public policy and administration (Wang and Zhao ). However, challenges remain if scholars wish to examine perceptions of managers and seek to implement surveys based upon random sampling, because of the conflation of administration and politics in Mainland China and the role of guanxi (personalized networks of influence) (So and Walker ; Christensen et al .…”

Public administration has undergone a fundamental change in China since Deng Xiaoping initiated a process of openness and reform in the late 1970s. While reform is widespread in Greater China (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau), only limited scholarship has been conducted to theorize these changes and empirically document them. This is somewhat surprising given the growing international prominence of China as a major powerhouse in the world economy and a political leader. This symposium seeks to contribute towards building knowledge and evidence on the changing nature of public administration in Greater China. In this article, key themes unique to Greater China are drawn out, the emergent status of public administration scholarship in China is discussed, and the key ingredients of a research agenda are presented.

“…The art-based rural revitalisation project, therefore, can be seen as contributing to a potential 'redistribution of the sensible' as conceptualised by Ranciere (Ranciere, 2004;Birrell, Art in rural placemaking 1 9 3 2008). Ranciere's insight is relevant in analysing the project's emphasis on painting as an approach to rural placemaking, which implicitly challenges the prevailing problem of education and cultural inequality in China (Yang et al, 2014;Wu et al, 2012;Wang, 2014;Huo & Li, 2012). This is a problem symptomatic of the overall decline of the countryside in China that leads to various rural revitalisation projects like the one in Longtan.…”

Many Western-based theories of public administration have had some traction in the Chinese setting. However, they also point to the importance of context and the need to ensure that the theory is relevant to the setting. In this regard, theory needs to be both clearly developed and there are various routes that can be taken. In this article, I share with readers some of my thoughts emanating from my teaching and research over the past two decades, namely, inspiration from the development of public administration in the West for studies of public administration in China. The two analytical lenses that I use for this article are the five essential attributes of public administration and the instrumental and value rationalities as the fundamental nature of the various schools of thought in the development of public administration in the West. The five essential attributes refer to core value, assumptions about human nature, methodology, government role, and disciplinary positioning. They serve as references for my review of the field of public administration in China. Over the last four decades, public administration research in China has resulted in the restoration of the discipline, the flourishing of teaching and research programmes, and active exchanges with colleagues around the world. However, Chinese public administration is facing an “identity crisis”. Chinese scholars have become used to playing the role of consumers of imported concepts, theories, and methods. At this stage it is urgent that they develop their own unique paradigm, including concepts, theories, and methodologies, and contribute to the progress of the whole discipline. The goal of forming their own theoretical framework is urging our Chinese colleagues to challenge themselves to consciously engage in independent theoretical thought. More specifically, they should try to keep abreast of the theoretical developments in the West and lay emphasis on cutting-edge research, avoid not seeing the forest for the trees, and practise timely adoption of dominant theories.

Rural taxation reforms and compulsory education finance in china

Abstract: In recent decades, the responsibility for the financing of compulsory education in rural China has rested with townships and villages which, with limited tax authority and uneven revenue capacity, increasingly relied on a plethora of arbitrarily imposed fees
