Providing financial protection in health for low-income populations
Our findings further the understanding of health financing designs in East Asia. We also provide evidence for governments to enhance financial protection for low-income populations, particularly near-poor groups, to achieve more equitable health financing arrangements
Authority Versus Competition
In the face of increasingly complex environmental challenges, subnational governments play a critical role in implementing climate policies. This study investigates how intergovernmental interactions—specifically formal authority interactions and informal competitive interactions—shape the adoption of climate policies by Chinese provincial governments. Drawing on panel data from 31 provinces between 2003 and 2018, the study constructs a two‐dimen…
From local innovation to national policy
Many contemporary social problems are innately complex, increasingly requiring joint efforts across sectoral boundaries to find a resolution. Cross‐boundary policy entrepreneurship, a distinctive form of policy dynamism, represents a nascent approach to policy innovation in the face of emerging disruptive technologies. By analysing a major health regulatory reform in China that was catalysed by local innovation, this study explains how a coalitio…
Subnational policy entrepreneurs in action
There is a prominent literature explaining how policy entrepreneurs, as active agents, promote policy changes. However, most existing studies focus on policy entrepreneurship at the national level, with limited attention paid to the vibrant dynamics of numerous local government innovations typically driven by entrepreneurial individuals. This systematic review seeks to take stock of the empirical literature on subnational policy entrepreneurship,…
Riding the tide of generative artificial intelligence in higher education policy
The rapid emergence and integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in higher education present both challenges and opportunities. There is a critical need to consolidate empirical evidence, existing practices, assessments, and normative discussions to reflect on the recent advancement and inform adaptation in higher education policies. Asia presents a compelling context in which to explore the impact of GenAI on higher education du…
Policy design and policy feedback in welfare retrenchment
A growing body of public policy literature examines how welfare retrenchment reform produces attitudinal and behavioral feedback effects. This study adds to the literature on welfare reforms by exploring how different policy designs, combined with individual proximity to reform, produce heterogeneous feedback effects. Bridging the theories of policy feedback and policy design, we theorize how different policy designs shape individuals' self‐inter…
Central-local relations, accountability, and defensive administration
The calibration between national regulatory oversight and local policy autonomy is a prominent feature in the discussion regarding social assistance institutions in large countries. The complex principal-agent structure embedded within such institutions and the resultant information asymmetry make it difficult for the national principal to monitor the behaviour of subnational agents, resulting in prevalent mis-targeting of welfare benefits and pe…
Health and social welfare policies in the ‘post-Covid-19’ era
It is an under-statement to say that the emergence, spread and impact of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) virus placed enormous strains on both the health care systems and wider welfare capacities of governments across the world. Indeed, across high-, middle-, and low-income country settings, it is not difficult to find instances of infrastructural failure – sometimes dramatic – and disruption of essential care services (Lal et al., 2021; Daly, 2020). G…
Embracing generative artificial intelligence tools in higher education
Generative artificial intelligence has emerged as a powerful technological innovation that is exerting a sweeping influence in the education sector. The rapid diffusion of ChatGPT in universities worldwide presents both opportunities and challenges to higher education policy and administration. This study seeks to examine students’ behavioural and perceptual experiences with the use of ChatGPT at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology…
Slowing Down or Adapting to Technological Progress? Robot Replacement Risks and Policy Preferences
The relationship between automation risk and policy preferences is receiving increasing scholarly attention, but the discussion has yielded mixed and even contradicting results. This study aims to reconcile the results and contribute to the literature by exploring the specific conditions under which citizens prefer government interventions to reduce automation risk and their preferences for specific policy options. Using a survey experimental des…
Unpack the black box of pilot sampling in policy experimentation
Governments increasingly use policy experimentation programs to seek solutions for complex problems. Because randomization and controllability are unrealistic for real‐world policy experiments, how subnational pilots are selected is crucial for generating sound evidence for national replication. However, the received wisdom on pilot sampling is thin and paradoxical. While some studies suggest that policymakers prefer to select regions with favora…
Evaluating health policies with subnational disparities
Subnational disparities in most health systems often defy ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach in policy implementation. When local authorities implement a national policy in a decentralized context, they behave as a strategic policy actor in specifying the central mandates, selecting appropriate tools and setting key implementation parameters. Local policy discretion leads to diverse policy mixes across regions, thus complicating evidence-based evaluati…
Scaling-up through piloting
Gaining wide prominence in the global health arena, scaling-up increases the coverage of health innovations emerging from pilots and experimental projects to a larger scale. However, scaling-up in the health sector should not follow a linear ‘pilot-diffusion’ pathway in order to better facilitate local adaptation and policy refinement. This paper puts forth ‘scaling-up through piloting’ as a distinctive pathway for the strategic management of sca…
Sending professors to the field
The field of public administration and policy faces ongoing calls to maintain its relevancy to public sector practice. A variety of innovations have thrived in the recent years, striving to fill the gap between theory and practice. Faculty-practitioner exchange is one such attempt. This study examines the micro dynamics of such exchange in Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs in China where the gap was seen to be particularly wide. Usin…
How Does Automation Risk Shape Social Policy Preference? Employment Insecurity and Policy Feedback Effect in China
Workplace automation fueled by technological innovations has been generating social policy implications. Defying the prevalent argument that automation risk triggers employment insecurity and prompts individuals to favour redistribution, this study doesn’t find empirical evidence in the Chinese context. Analysing national survey data, this study reveals a very strong association between automation risk and popular preference for government respon…
Covid-19 and social inequality in China
The existing literature suggests that external shocks, such as pandemics, stimulate people’s demand for social protections and prompt them to favor short-term social consumption over long-term investments. However, this argument may not apply fully in a society with an urban–rural divide in addition to an unequal welfare system. Through a telephone survey conducted in July 2020, this study sought to investigate public opinions on the social polic…
Health policy and Covid-19
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has tested the mettle of governments across the globe and has thrown entrenched fault lines within health systems into sharper relief. In response to the outbreak of the pandemic, governments introduced a range of measures to meet the growth in demand and bridge gaps in health systems. The objective of this paper is to understand the nature and extent of the changes in health systems triggered by the CO…
Covid-19, crisis responses, and public policies
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has once again highlighted the importance of social inequalities during major crises, a reality that has clear implications for public policy. In this introductory article to the thematic issue of Policy and Society on COVID-19, inequalities, and public policies, we provide an overview of the nexus between crisis and inequality before exploring its importance for the study of policy stability and change, with a…
Active stewardship in healthcare
Governments across the globe have made repeated attempts to reform their health systems in recent decades with the purpose of improving access while containing costs. What is the role of government in contemporary health policy in achieving these somewhat contradictory goals? This paper conceptualises this role as one of “active stewardship” wherein the government is a central actor steering and coordinating the sector through a portfolio of dive…
Seeking policy solutions in a complex system
Integration of health services for the elderly in Asia
Against the backdrop of rapid ageing populations, there is an increasing recognition of the need to integrate various health services for the elderly, not only to provide more coordinated care, but also to contain the rapid cost inflation driven primarily by the curative sector. Funded by the Asia-Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, this scoping review seeks to synthesize the received knowledge on care integration for the elderly …
Poverty alleviation in Asia
This essay introduces a special issue focusing on poverty alleviation in Asia. We argue that expanding the conceptualization and measurement of poverty and using a variety of methodologies to study poverty issues can help inform more effective, sustainable policy solutions in Asia and globally. Drawing on a set of new empirical studies across various Asian countries and regions, we suggest several concrete directions in monitoring poverty trends …
The Welfare Is Ours
This study seeks to investigate whether welfare chauvinism exists in a large country with tremendous regional disparities and massive internal migration. Set in the context of coastal Guangdong Province, it examines Chinese people’s attitudes toward welfare entitlements for rural-to-urban immigrants. The study finds that chauvinistic attitude does not fracture along the lines of intergroup competition in the labor market; instead, it stems primar…

Opinions from the epicenter
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCov, COVID) in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 quickly escalated into a global health emergency. This study seeks to investigate the attitudinal and behavioral patterns of university students in Wuhan, the epicenter. Conducted in late January 2020, an online survey collected data from more than 8000 students of four elite national universities located in Wuhan. The students sampled included both Wuhan n…
Fighting for Migrant Labor Rights in the World's Factory
China's dizzying economic achievement is not mirrored in its labor rights protection record. Migrant workers in particular do not enjoy rights commensurate with their contribution to the economy. The pervasive infringement of labor rights and the failure of the official protective system have jointly created a niche for nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). This article investigates the grassroots migrant labor NGOs in the Pearl River Delta regio…

Health governance and healthcare reforms in China
This article examines the role of health governance in shaping the outcomes of healthcare reforms in China. The analysis shows that the failure of reforms during the 1980s and 1990s was in part due to inadequate attention to key aspects in health governance, such as strategic interactions among government, providers and users, as well as incentive structures shaping their preferences and behaviour. Although more recent reforms seek to correct the…

Attitudinal Feedback towards Sub-national Social Policy
Policy feedback theory posits that pre-existing policies shape citizens’ policy preferences and attitudes. This attitudinal feedback effect may, in turn, either reinforce or undermine current policies. This study seeks to examine whether attitudinal feedback explains why urban Chinese are motivated to contribute to social health insurance, a highly tangible issue for ordinary Chinese. Empirical data were collected in an original survey of urban i…
Attitudes toward welfare spending in urban China
What explains divergent levels of support for welfare spending in a non-Western authoritarian state? Can self-interest and ideology, two major theoretical frameworks from cross-national research, explain attitudinal patterns in China? Using data collected from an original survey in two provinces in 2017, we examined urban Chinese attitudes toward welfare spending. We focused on three social policy domains with distinctive characteristics: educati…

Policy entrepreneurship in Asia
Policy entrepreneurs engage in collaborative action to promote broad societal changes. They distinguish themselves from other political actors through their willingness to promote policy innovations that are new within specific contexts. Research on policy entrepreneurs has burgeoned over the past three decades. In this special issue, we showcase new explorations of policy entrepreneurship in Asia. This overview essay reviews the concept of polic…
Financing institutional long-term care for the elderly in China
A rapid ageing population coupled with changes in family structure has brought about profound implications to social policy in China. Although the past decade has seen a steady increase in public funding to long-term care (LTC), the narrow financing base and vast population have created significant unmet demand, calling for reforms in financing. This paper focuses on the financing of institutional LTC care by examining new models that have emerge…
The medical arms race and its impact in Chinese hospitals
The rapid diffusion of medical technologies is widely recognized as a key driver of healthcare cost escalation. The excessive duplication of technologies gives rise to the so-called medical arms race. Conventional wisdom tends to explain this phenomenon by external reimbursement mechanisms and hospitals' competitive strategies, but has largely neglected the role played by health regulations that may also affect hospitals' technology adoption deci…
Popular support for the social security system in urban China
Because the legitimacy of the welfare system ultimately depends on citizens’ support, it is vital to understand public welfare attitudes. By analysing primary data collected in Zhuhai City, this study examines Chinese people's attitudes toward contributory social security programmes. The study's bi-dimensional conception of welfare attitudes synthesises the dual roles that people play in social security and examines their respective attitudes. Se…

Public Satisfaction with the Health System and Popular Support for State Involvement in an East Asian Welfare Regime
The legitimacy of social policies has gained increasing attention in the past decade, against the backdrop of fiscal austerity and retrenchment in many nations. Policy legitimacy encompasses public preferences for the underlying principles of policies and the actual outcomes as perceived by citizens. Scholarly knowledge concerning the legitimacy of health policy – a major element of modern social policy architecture – is, unfortunately, limited. …

China's ongoing public hospital reform
The first phase of China's ambitious national health-care reform will be concluded in 2011. However, public hospital reform – its central component – has not been proceeding smoothly. Heavy vested interests, enormous budgetary demands and the congested policy gridlock have made it extremely difficult to succeed. Nevertheless, a number of promising initiatives are presently being undertaken and are expected to make substantive progress. This artic…

Manoeuvring within a Fragmented Bureaucracy
Policy entrepreneurs play a pivotal role in policy changes in both electoral democracies and authoritarian systems. By investigating the case of healthcare reform in Sanming City, this article illustrates how the fragmented bureaucracy in China enables and constrains local policy entrepreneurs, and how entrepreneurial manoeuvring succeeds in realigning the old institutional structures while attacking the vested interests. Both structural conditio…

Long-term care service needs and planning for the future
Long-term care (LTC) planning is important in helping the older people tackle their future needs better. The needs for LTC services represent generational characteristics as they may be different between the current and upcoming cohorts of older adults. However, very few studies have examined the cohort differences in terms of their expected utilisation of LTC services, while understanding the patterns is crucial in helping policy makers prepare …
Crisis governance, Chinese style
Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic in Wuhan, China has remained under the international spotlight. Despite hostile sentiments toward the country that are still prevalent in many parts of the world, it is clear that China has managed to contain this unprecedented public health crisis reasonably swiftly since the lockdown of Wuhan. What accounts for this “success”? What are the experience and lessons that can be learnt …
Policy entrepreneurship and institutional change
In the past three decades, “policy entrepreneurship” has emerged as a key analytical concept helping to explain institutional and policy change. Despite this, however, the literature on policy entrepreneurship remains theoretically vexed, producing limited theoretical knowledge or explanatory models able to draw firm conclusions. Theory building on policy and institutional change, for example, how policy entrepreneurs institute and navigate chang…
