Description
The resilience of the Communist partystate, in combination witha rapidly expanding economy, represents a significant deviant casefor the debate about models of development. This book focuses onthe manner in which China's governmental system can be developed,formulated, implemented, adjusted, and revised. Policymaking isseen as an open ended process with an uncertain outcome, driven byconflicting interests, recurrent interactions, and continuous feedback,rather than determined by history, regime type, or institutions. Keyto this are the capacity to deal with both existing and emergingchallenges, correction mechanisms when conflicts arise, and adaptivecapabilities in a changing economic or international context.
