Rewarding Women's Political Empowerment? the Effects of Gender Equality on Foreign Aid Allocation
Gender equality has long been recognized as a principal goal of socio‐economic development for developing countries. Nonetheless, little is known about whether foreign aid donors take gender egalitarianism into account and reward recipient countries with better gender equality performance. This study leverages a panel dataset of African countries and the case of Uganda to empirically examine the impact of women's political empowerment on aid allo…

Partnering With Peer‐Endorsed Cities
Partner selection is critical for interlocal collaboration. However, governments often face challenges in identifying suitable partners, which can undermine the potential gains of collaboration. While previous studies suggest that conforming to peers can reduce uncertainty in decision‐making, its role in partner selection remains underexplored. This study explores the effects of peer conformity on interlocal collaboration. We posit that, in colla…
Appraising the philosophical influences on modern public administration research
As an interdisciplinary field, public administration (PA) has evolved by borrowing and integrating knowledge from multiple disciplines, including philosophy. Consequently, the means by which these disciplines’ influence diffuses to PA may significantly influence PA research quality and direction. This study is a first step to quantitatively appraise the effect of philosophy on PA research alongside other disciplines. Using a dataset of 58,333 PA …
A mixed funding pattern
China's financial contributions to the United Nations have increased in tandem with its growing economic might. However, their composition differs from that of other large (Western) contributors, being predominantly made up of mandatory fees and to a much lesser degree of voluntary core and earmarked contributions. What types of power does China seek and exercise through these different funding modalities? This article uses the conceptual power f…
International collaboration in local government studies
International collaboration in public administration research is getting popular, reflecting growing globalisation in PA practices and the strength of collaborative knowledge production. This article examines international collaboration in 1, 550 research articles published in Local Government Studies (LGS) between 1974 and 2022. The bibliometric analysis shows international coauthorship in LGS appeared in 1980 and increased to 23.08% among artic…
Section Overview
Rising social benefits and social protection, combined with vibrant economic development, have turned Asia into a major axis of world economic growth. Meanwhile, numerous Asian countries have been experiencing a decline in the middle class while socioeconomic polarization remains widespread in the region. Social mobility has become a significant policy topic as economic polarization creates potential for social conflicts between economic classes …
Marching through the deep-water zone
The post-1978 public sector reform in China has entered a new stage of building a modern state governance system as its grand reform strategy. This essay reviews China’s public sector reforms in the 2010s and further reform challenges and trends. It argues that a public administration with Chinese characteristics has been gradually and firmly established, which fundamentally deviates from the western models. To introduce coordinated and deepened …

Public administration, context and innovation
Innovation in public administration (PA) has played a pivotal role in building good governance and has attracted significant attention in the academia. The literature on PA innovation is burgeoning; however, this article argues that there is ‘a missing link’ in the extant literature in that the impacts of variation in context on PA innovation have not been sufficiently investigated. This article elaborates the analytical perspectives on the influ…
Seeking opportunities from crisis? China’s governance responses to the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed a challenge to state capacities on all countries of the world and a genuine test of their abilities of opportunity management. In comparison, China has managed to promptly get the pandemic under effective control and firmly enhanced domestic support for the government. This article argues that China’s successful opportunity management was firmly shaped by its institutional settings, governing structures, and acto…
Why was apparent evidence ignored? The delayed relaxation of China's birth control
The ideal of evidence‐based policy making (EBPM) may be hindered by delayed policy response to disclosed evidence. This article adopts Allison's three‐lens decision‐making framework to highlight technical, organizational, and political causes of delayed policy responses to apparent evidence. The study uses China's birth control policy as a case to examine the lag of policy adjustments. Although ample supply of evidence suggested earlier relaxatio…
Strategies in Adopting Unpopular Policies in China
Changing state–society relations in China have made it a challenge for the government to adopt unpopular policies that may incur blame and mass resistance. How can the Chinese regime adopt and implement unpopular policies when enforcement based on coercion is costly and undesirable? The article investigates property tax reform as a case to show how policy unpopularity and government strategies together resulted in a policy that failed to achieve …
Toward Multi-Level Governance in China? Coping with complex public affairs across jurisdictions and organizations
This special issue argues for the applicability of the conceptual framework of Multi-Level Governance to the political–administrative regime of China, provided significant adaptations and qualifications are developed. The application of Multi-Level Governance to China enables to account for global influences as well as for the involvement of non-governmental actors in public policy making. More radically, we suggest in this introductory article t…
Private roles in enhancing Multi-Level Governance
Multi-Level Governance engages players from multiple levels of governments and multiple sectors for better governance results. This paper argues that private actors may take a collaborative governance approach to facilitate intergovernmental policy making and implementation. Specifically, the rise of private sector economy in China has engendered interests and opportunities for resourceful private actors to link fragmented intergovernmental polic…

Dual Identity and Social Organizations’ Participation in Contracting in Shanghai
Chinese governments, driven by both pragmatic and legitimacy purposes, have been enthusiastically engaging social organizations in service contracting to meet rising service demands. This article argues that social organizations’ participation in contracting is shaped by their dual identity as state agents and social actors. Such a dual identity is forged by China’s institutional environment and its internal tension may create both incentives and…

The politics of performance measurement in China
Performance measurement (PM) has been widely used in China's public sector to enhance performance and ensure accountability. Like in other countries, PM in China is an arena of political management and manipulation by which political priorities are articulated and political loyalty and responsiveness are sought. This paper develops a regime-centered analytical framework to understand the political nature of China's PM. It identifies major politic…
Between Control and Empowerment
Continuous economic reform and social development have induced and forced the Chinese government to adjust its strategies towards non-profit development. Enhanced state capacities, emergent legitimacy of non-profit organisations, genuine demand for non-profit partners, public management modernisation and other factors have not only enriched the “control” mandate by introducing persuasive means, but have also driven the government to become a majo…

Managed Social Innovation
In recent years, a model of ‘managed social innovation’ seems to be emerging in China where local governments take the lead in generating and implementing new citizen‐oriented products, processes, and services; the central government has embraced such local innovative activities as part of its high profile ‘harmonious society’ strategy. The aim is to not only accommodate but also promote and craft civil society initiatives. However, questions rem…

Managing Collaborative Service Delivery
Successful adoption of collaborative service delivery requires that governments develop better capacity to handle potential pitfalls. In this essay, Yijia Jing of Fudan University and E. S. Savas of the City University of New York provide a framework that compares and contrasts the management practices in China and America. Both nations favor collaborative service delivery and engage in it extensively. Can China’s state‐affiliated strategy and th…
