Description: China's Governance Puzzle by Edmund J. Malesky, Jonathan R. Stromseth, Dimitar D. Gueorguiev, Lai Hairong, Wang Xixin, Carl Brinton Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The apparent contradiction between Chinas rapid economic reforms and political authoritarianism is much debated by scholars of comparative political economy. This is the first examination of this issue through the impact of a series of administrative reforms intended to promote government transparency and increase public participation in China. Publisher Description China is widely viewed as a global powerhouse that has achieved a remarkable economic transformation with little political change. Less well known is that Chinas leaders have also implemented farreaching governance reforms designed to promote government transparency and increase public participation in official policymaking. What are the motivations behind these reforms and, more importantly, what impact are they having? This puzzle lies at the heart of Chinese politics and could dictate Chinas political trajectory for years to come. This extensive collaborative study not only documents the origins and scope of these reforms across China, but offers the first systematic assessment by quantitatively and qualitatively analyzing the impact of participation and transparency on important governance outcomes. Comparing across provinces and over time, the authors argue that the reforms are resulting in lower corruption and enhanced legal compliance, but these outcomes also depend on a broader societal ecosystem that includes an active media and robust civil society.
