The focus of this article is an examination of these challenges, the insufficient preparedness, and the resulting response to the pandemic through the lens of the Weberian politics-administration dichotomy. Despite the fact that China does not practice a Weberian democratic form of government, the nation has managed to become a global economic powerhouse. Through a high degree of centralized planning, China has implemented market-based economic reforms synchronous with sustained socialist practices. However, this system also presents unique challenges for effective governance. Some of these challenges are the result of the governmental system in China, the relationship between the central government and local cadre organizations. For China to continue to grow as a global leader, leadership will need to balance the pros and cons of the dichotomy between the centralized political planning and the local administration by promoting more flexibility in governance structure and the central-local relationship.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43756065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ensnared by a large-scale emergency unprecedented in recent history, mobilization, the classic issue of emergency management, is under stress and test. Yet Taiwan stands out in its rather limited cases of infections despite its frequent contact with mainland China and high population density. Could its mobilization have made the difference? This article traces the steps and strategies that Taiwan took to implement a coordinated mobilization. Three strategies were highlighted: awareness mobilization by declaring emergency early on, resource mobilization by preemptively controlling, boldly incentivizing and surgically distributing resources, and agility mobilization via big data and technology to optimize the response system.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46036115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The working incentive of Chinese provincial environmental agency heads in pollution reduction","authors":"Lei Liu, Mingyue Li, May Chu","doi":"10.1177/153967542101200102","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/153967542101200102","url":null,"abstract":"Promotion is argued to be the primary working incentive for Chinese officials. Different from previous studies that focus on the provincial governors and party secretaries, this paper makes the first attempt to examine whether the career turnover of China's provincial environmental agency heads (PEAHs) is affected by the environmental performance within their jurisdictions. The results show that the performance in reducing nationally targeted pollutants—i.e., sulfur dioxide (SO2) and chemical oxygen demand (COD)—is not necessarily correlated with political turnover, which only depends on political factors such as the age when assuming office, tenure of the office, and if they are local people. Therefore, a lack of promotion incentive is found among China's PEAHs in local environmental management. Their working incentive is straightforward top-down control, making them merely the implementers of economy-dominated local public policy. A more robust and transparent performance management system, to connect the provincial environmental performance with the PEAH's political career, is supposed to be beneficial for China's environmental management.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48539779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is very little research exploring those relationships in Taiwan, and the topic is thus worthy of more systematic examination. This paper utilizes the Taiwan Government Bureaucrats Survey II (TGBS II), which collected 1,464 valid samples from the public sector and used structural equation model to test the hypotheses. We find that reinvention reform perception positively affects public servants’ PSM, organizational commitment and organizational performance. Finally, results demonstrate that organizational commitment mediates the relationship between PSM and organizational performance.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47066238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we define state capacity in preventing and controlling COVID-19 as the extent to which a state takes rapid intervention measures based on scientific evidence to prevent and control infectious diseases. This case study explores China's experience in terms of pandemic prevention and control, showing that the goal of pandemic prevention and control in the country is a concrete combination of outcome goals and multidimensional process objectives. This research also demonstrates the important role of state capacity in pandemic prevention and control in China by analyzing different ways to quickly achieve accessibility and full coverage of intervention measures for the target population. Finally, we argue that a country's political system is not a decisive factor in pandemic prevention and control. Rather, the historical experience of a country in dealing with similar outbreaks and current state capacity play important roles.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48298579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neighborhood Watch is an important element of community policing in Taiwan. Relying on previous research, this study illustrates the implementation process of Neighborhood Watch in Taiwan. Starting in the 1970s, Neighborhood Watch in Taiwan evolved through several stages, shifting from a focus on moral alignment to community building and crime prevention. The central pillar of Neighborhood Watch is civilian patrol groups commonly organized by either the government at all levels as part of their civilian defense scheme or neighborhood patrol squads staffed by local volunteers. The organization and resources associated with Neighborhood Watch elucidate the government's intention to integrate the program into community policing as an effective tool for building community safety and strengthening crime prevention. It is reasonable to predict that the Taiwan government and police are likely to continue their support for the operation of Neighborhood Watch as part of collective efforts to build healthy and safe communities.","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44715690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"New Trends in Open Government Information Research in China","authors":"Wenxuan Yu","doi":"10.1177/153967542101200109","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/153967542101200109","url":null,"abstract":"Although open government information (OGI) or government transparency is considered an essential component of good governance, over half of existing OGI laws worldwide were enacted and enforced in the past 20 years. China enacted its open government information law, The Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Open Government Information in 2007, despite the fact that it is a non-democratic and authoritarian regime. After its implementation in 2008, the Chinese central government has been supplementing and revising the law to further enhance transparency. Still, research on open government in China is scarce (but see Piotrowski, Zhang, Lin & Yu, 2009; Tan, 2014; Yu, 2011), despite the fact that this piece of legislation is quite important for the country’s administrative and political reforms. Since the policy’s passage, Chinese scholars have been actively promoting the idea and improving its implementation. However, the majority of the research on open government information is normative and prescriptive, with most empirical studies focusing on evaluating the performance of open government information among central and local governments or developing evaluation schemes to assess the practice. With few exceptions (Ma, 2012; Wu &Yu, 2017; Yu, 2013), there is a paucity of research that examines government transparency as the dependent or independent variable, with a particular lack of quantitative studies on the matter. In tandem with the fast development of public administration research in China, recently Chinese public administration scholars have begun to study OGI quantitatively using advanced and cutting-edge research methods and design. In 2019, organized by Professor Qiushi Wang of Sun Yat-sen University, Journal of Public Administration Review, a leading academic journal on public administration in China, published a group of three articles on OGI in China. The three articles employ cutting-edge quantitative research methods and designs, such as quasi-experiment design, differencein-difference models, propensity score matching, and spatial econometric model. These articles have interesting research questions, solid research designs, and findings with significant theoretical and practical implications. They represent the current quality of public administration research conducted in China and indicate the achievement Chinese academics have made in developing the field. It is a pity that these pieces of quality research are written in Chinese, which is not conveniently accessible to an international audience. Therefore, I take it upon myself to introduce these articles to a broader international audience. Not only do these articles illustrate the quality of research Chinese public administration scholars are conducting, they also contribute to the much broader international field of OGI research. In this article, I also include a quantitative article on OGI published in April 2020, which was published by a multi-disciplinary Chinese ","PeriodicalId":41625,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Public Administration Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42840003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
