How to encourage more public participation in marine disaster risk management: Evidence from a survey experiment in China
Raising public awareness of maritime risk and disseminating information about disaster prevention and reduction are the most frequent ways that the government incorporates citizens in marine disaster risk management (DRM). However, these measures are deemed to be insufficient to drive the participation rate. This study aims to understand the participation trend of citizens in marine DRM. On the basis of the theory of citizen participation’s ladde…
Now a systemic rival? Inklings of complex representations of the EU in public survey data of Chinese urban residents
China–EU relations have become more challenging recently, especially with China being labeled a ‘systemic rival’. We therefore examine Chinese perceptions of the EU, particularly to see if recent developments have led to changing representations of the EU. This article specifically attempts to discern nascent changes in the complex representation of the EU amongst the general Chinese public by analyzing and comparing original data from two survey…
The Chinese Public’s Perceptions of the European Union: Changes and Stability Revealed by 2010 and 2020 Surveys
A survey conducted in 2010 showed that Chinese citizens had rather positive impressions of the EU and were optimistic for the future of China—EU relations. Against the background of increasing tensions between China and the EU, this study focuses on the changes in the Chinese public’s perceptions of the EU and of China-EU relations in the last decade. The analysis uses data from the original 2010 survey, as well as from new survey conducted in fa…
Scale-building in the party-state: The governance of China’s metropolitan regions
This paper explores the emerging governance patterns in Chinese metropolitan regions (城市群 chengshiqun). In the scholarly debate on city-regional governance in the West, a prominent position holds that governing large urban regions entails a rescaling of state territories. In China, the central government plays a prominent role in the scale-building of China’s metropolitan regions. This is not only evident in the first stage of the post-reform pol…
Sources of Local Political Trust in Rural China
Based on a questionnaire survey in five counties of Ya’an Municipality in south-western China, the study reveals a fairly high level of political trust among citizens. The study also confirms the disparate trust in different levels of government known from other studies, i.e. that political trust in the central government is higher than political trust in local governments. The contribution of this research is a fine-grained investigation into th…
Urban Mobilizations and New Media in Contemporary China
Popular protests are on the rise in China. However, since protesters rely on existing channels of participation and on patronage by elite backers, the state has been able to stymie attempts to generalize resistance and no large scale political movements have significantly challenged party rule. Yet the Chinese state is not monolithic. Decentralization has increased the power of local authorities, creating space for policy innovations and opening …
Health Care Reform in China: An Analysis of Development Trends and Lack of Implementation
China's health care system, under the direction of the central government, has undergone continuous reform in recent decades. Many problems have been encountered, with successive measures attempting to deal with shortcomings and failings of previous reforms. To what extent can implementation failures account for the recurring problems, and what explains these failures? The analysis adopts the theoretical lens of structural-instrumental and cultur…
Chinese Perceptions of the European Union
This article uses survey data collected in 2010 and conducts a systematic comparative analysis of the perceptions of the EU by the Chinese general public and the elite. Most ordinary Chinese citizens do not understand the EU very well, but their impressions of the EU are very positive and they also hold good expectations for the future of China–EU relations. The Chinese elites and ordinary citizens differ significantly in terms of ‘favoring the E…

Imitating the West? Evidence on Administrative Reform from the Upper Echelons of Chinese Provincial Government
This article explores the attitudes of officials in the upper echelons in Chinese provincial and local government toward the origins of administrative reform. The authors examine the somewhat dichotomous argument that reform imitates the West or is indigenous and contend that both influences are present. Data drawn from a survey of party cadres and government officials show that cultural factors (time in government, overall knowledge of administr…
Housing reform in China: Rational interests gone wrong or organizational design failure
China's housing policy has gone through a radical shift during the reform era: first, a focus on provision of social housing, partly through state institutions like state-owned enterprises; second, a gradual opening up of a commercial housing market; and third, most recently, an emphasis on the market aspects of housing with social housing being very much under pressure and decreasing in importance. Observers have noted that this third phase has …
Démocratie locale en Chine: Quelle direction prendre après 20 ans d’expérimentations
Les implications de l''expérience des élections de comités villageois menées depuis 1987 ont été évaluées de diverses manières par le pouvoir. Les élections directes à l’échelon du bourg ont été catégoriquement interdites en 2006 mais, en 2008, on a réintroduit à Guiyang le principe de nomination et de sélection publiques des chefs de district et des responsables municipaux adjoints. Cet article explore les raisons qui motivent ces différents rev…
A Case Study of China’s Administrative Reform: The Importation of the Super-Department
Although it is generally acknowledged that China, in its public sector reforms, has “learnt from the West,” the mechanisms and effects of the processes of learning and imitation in China are little understood. The recent “Sixth Round of Administrative Reforms” in which the Western concept of the “super-department” was presented as a key theme is used as a case study of the processes involved. Chinese leaders intentionally and actively sought the …
Administrative reform in China's central government — how much `learning from the West
The prevailing interpretation in the scholarly literature is that public sector reform in China during the period of marketization has been driven primarily by internal, contextual factors rather than being under the sway of particular global reform models or theories such as New Public Management. The aim of this article is to move beyond arguing from inference that `Chinese characteristics' continue to be dominant and to inquire into the manner…
Consultative Elections of Chinese Township Leaders: The Case of an Experiment in Ya'an, Sichuan
The article presents observations from a 2006 township election experiment in Ya'an Municipality, Sichuan Province. Gradual institutionalization of elections to Chinese village committees has for two decades fascinated those interested in social and political development in rural China. Elections at the next level-the townships-were seen by many, in China and outside, as a natural next step. For this reason, the election of a township mayor in Bu…
Direct Township Elections in China: Latest Developments and Prospects
The first direct election of township government leader was held in Sichuan Province in 1998, following a decade of direct elections at the village level. There have since been experiments with four categories of elections at the township level: direct elections of government leader, deputies to the People's Congress, Party Secretary, and deputies to the Party Congress. Various indirect methods under different terms have also been introduced, whi…
La stratégie de redressement du Nord-Est
En 2003, le gouvernement chinois a fait du redressement du Nord-Est une priorité du gouvernement central, attestant que la situation difficile de cette région ne peut plus être ignorée. Au début des années 1990, celle-ci a eu beaucoup de difficultés à s’adapter au passage d’une économie planifiée à une économie de marché. La crise concerne aussi bien le secteur industriel que l’agriculture
