Synopsis: This book aims to explain the gap between Western theories and the Chinese administration reform experiences. The book provides insights into how the Chinese government can improve its efficiency and legitimacy through reforms and adapt Western theories with Chinese Characteristics. It also looks at the impact of modern technological innovation on reforms and why innovation is a critical key to the political development of China or other countries. The authors also explain how the Internet affects government efficiency. This timely book is an invaluable reference to better understand the changing theory of global public administration and its practice in developing countries and will interest researchers and policy makers in development studies and public administration and governance.
