Abstract

China’s public administration system has been shaped by incremental reforms since China started its reform and opening up in 1978. These reforms highlighted a delicate balance between continuity and change so gradual, incessant, and autonomous adaptation to China’s socioeconomic development as well as to its external environment could happen. Since China moved into the “deep-water zone” in the recent decade, does this reform strategy remain effective? This article examines the Chinese way of introducing public administration reforms, with a focus on the reforms in the past decade. Although incremental reform has in general been kept useful, changing internal and external conditions in China have made it more difficult to achieve innovations and systematic transformation through incremental reforms. An apparent approach to politicization has replaced the fragile politics-administration dichotomy and reshaped the way of value balancing in China’s administrative system.

连续性与变化:中国公共行政的演变轨迹

自1978年中国开始改革开放以来，中国的公共行政体系一直在渐进式改革中形成。这些改革强调了在连续性和变化之间的微妙平衡，因此可以逐步、不间断地自主适应中国的社会经济发展和外部环境。近十年来，中国进入“深水区”，这一改革战略是否仍然有效?本文考察了中国引入公共行政改革的方式，重点考察了过去十年的改革。虽然渐进式改革总体上是有用的，但中国不断变化的内外部条件使得通过渐进式改革实现创新和系统转型变得更加困难。一种明显的政治化方式取代了脆弱的政治-行政二分法，重塑了中国行政体系的价值平衡方式。
