Reviews

'This remarkable volume serves up a sumptuous buffet of theoretically informed and empirically grounded research into a wide range of issues related to public administration (civil service) and policy implementation in China. The contributors, most of whom are Chinese, turn a reflective and critical eye on changes in public policy and administration as China tries to adapt to unceasing challenges of social change, technological advance, entrenched practices and globalization. A gift to scholars and practitioners.' --Thomas B. Gold, University of California, Berkeley, US
