Reinventing government in China : a Ccmparative analysis - Thousand Oaks : SAGE, November 1999
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-political expertise in administrative development. The analysis concludes that the art and science of global public administration can be advanced through increased comparative analysis of non-Western developing systems with the more developed Western administrative states
