Civil Service Development in China and America
How has reform changed Chinese and American civil service systems in light of China’s landmark reform in 1993 by contrast to the aftermath of the U.S. Civil Service Act of 1883? While there are significant differences, remarkable administrative and political similarities also emerge. Particularly salient is the role of educational systems in the civil service development of both countries. Surprisingly, this comparative analysis finds a common st…
Reinventing Government in China
The 1998 administrative reforms in China provide a pregnant context for comparative analysis of the “reinventing government” movement. Described in some detail, the reforms are compared with the recent administrative reform experience in the United States. Significant similarities are illuminated using the prisms of ideology, politics, history, bureaucracy, and economics. Insight emerges on the role of experience, leadership, and technical-politi…

As a new world economy emerges what is being learned about the accompanying phenomenon of administrative corruption? To probe this question we combine study of current developments in China with prevailing theories of corruption. The administrative corruption experience, as it has unfolded during the economic development thrust of the Deng reform era, is described and analysed in a comparative context. In specifically interjecting the American ex…
Response to Lam and Chan
recting the date on page 176, although it was correct on page 177, because it had no bearing on the points being made, this could be confusing to readers. The second factual error they alleged was more a question of interpretation-whether the 14th Party Congress or strongly endorsed reform. Finally, they interpreted what was clearly an attribution to be a statement of fact. Our point was to show that even those implementing civil service reform w…
Chinese Public Administration
A decade ago in this journal, Worthley (1984) argued public administration in People's Republic of China was becoming ripe for comparative analysis. Since then, China has experienced extraordinary economic growth and has initiated major administrative reform efforts in government. Studies of development of Chinese public administration over these years, though few, have been impressive, particularly in view of lack of scholarly attention in previ…
