Local Governance Innovation in China (eBook, ePUB)

Experimentation, Diffusion, and Defiance
Redaktion: Teets, Jessica C.; Hurst, William

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book analyses how decentralized policy making and conflicting rules and incentives have encouraged local level policy experimentation across China's cities and villages. Most often out of necessity or expediency in the face of governance challenges associated with rapid economic reform and slow political reform, this pattern has remained relatively constant since 1978. The contributors to this book examine how local-level institutions solve governance challenges, such as rural development, enterprise reform, providing social services, and grappling with a lack of transparency.
