However, due to the lack of a collaborative food safety governance scheme, there has been no substantial progress in interregional collaboration for food safety governance in China. Therefore, this paper refines the three key elements of collaboration from the perspective of supply chain, economy and geography and puts forward the optimal zoning scheme of interregional collaboration for food safety governance. By analysing the evolution trend of interregional collaboration, we found China has already produced the germination of interregional collaboration in terms of food safety issues, though it has been slow and volatile. To promote the process of interregional collaboration, this paper also analyses the determinants of the coordinated regulatory performance of food safety. The results show that collaborative actions within regions can facilitate coordinated regulatory practice. The interregional difference in regulatory intensity and consumption patterns hinder the interregional collaboration for food safety governance, while the interregional difference in industrial structure inversely promotes the coordinated regulatory performance. These findings lend support to effective promotion of interregional collaboration.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"8 1","pages":"234 - 255"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42859157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing the retrospective governance studies approach, it singles out three cases in the CPC’s history in which top Party leaders chose to reinforce the CPC’s centralized system even when the Party had made strides in the previous stage, including creating the Instruction Request and Work Report System in 1948, adjusting Party-government Relations in 1953 and prioritizing top-level design since the 18th Party Congress in 2012. Based on a detailed analysis and comparison of the background, process and repercussions of furthering the CPC’s centralized system in the three cases, this article concludes that top Party leaders chose to further strengthen the CPC’s centralized system even when the Party was making strides in its cause primarily because of their concerns about the negative influences, real or imaginary, of the changing environment on the organizational integrity of the Party. By demonstrating the significance of CPC’s Leninist heritage in enabling its resilience, the present analysis broadens the scope of authoritarian resilience studies.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"8 1","pages":"180 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41877987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little effort has been made to empirically examine how collaboration contributes to emergency performance. Within this field lies a theoretical controversy that institutional arrangement and dynamic capability compete with each other to enhance emergency collaboration. Numerous studies find that a contingency plan, as a form of institutional arrangement, is necessary for ensuring collaboration in a planned and legitimate manner. Conversely, research also suggests that absorptive capacity, as an important dynamic capability for organizations to adapt to changing environments, is beneficial to the improvement of emergency collaboration. The current study contributes to the understanding of the influence of collaboration on emergency performance by (1) investigating the relationship between collaboration networks and performance, and (2) examining the mediating roles of the contingency plan and absorptive capacity in this relationship. Employing structural equation modeling with data from 110 cases of emergency drills in Shanghai, results suggest that collaboration networks have a positive association with emergency performance, which is simultaneously mediated by contingency plan and absorptive capacity, and further demonstrate that absorptive capacity exerts a stronger effect than contingency plan. Overall, the findings point to a need to dissolve the nuanced contradiction between the institutions and dynamic capability and weigh the two approaches when implementing emergency collaboration across organizations.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"8 1","pages":"206 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42512522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Chinese government implemented a land titling program in 2008 and conducted several pilot programs in various provinces to remove the barriers resulting from ambiguous property rights. Using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, this paper investigates the effects of rural land titling on market participation in rural China. First, we provide novel evidence regarding the impact of land titling on land market participation and investigate the heterogeneous wealth effects and geographic locations of land rental decisions. Second, we examine the endogeneity of land titling program implementation through empirical analysis. Our results indicate that clear and well-defined farmland property rights increase land rental activities and raise rental prices. We also find a significantly negative wealth effect in land transfer decisions, indicating that land titling encourages poorer farmers to rent out farmland. Land titling is found to promote land transfer, with the strongest effect in central China, and raise rental rates, with the largest increase in western China.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"8 1","pages":"110 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44926636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is unclear in the Chinese context what ‘performance’ means when referring to appraised values because little empirical evidence exists, particularly regarding the relations between values. This study examines Hangzhou, a pioneering case among Chinese municipalities of comprehensive performance evaluation, to analyze the relations between values. We examined 2,422 performance evaluation reports and policies released to the public. After conducting content and social network analyses, we theorized the public values structure were composed of relations of hierarchy, proximity, and causality. Our findings indicate prime values were listed prior to instrumental or market-driven values. The proximity between public interest and quality is demonstrated by the highest correlation coefficients. Each value cluster contains a causal relationship, indicating one value is the means to another. We discuss the values-oriented approach to performance evaluation, the contextual nature of public values studies, and the limits of using public satisfaction in performance evaluation. As an exploratory study, this work identifies values advocated by local governments in China; such findings are absent from existing research. Moreover, this study provides a practical method for empirically studying public values.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"8 1","pages":"83 - 109"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45006384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article seeks to interrogate the relationship between the Party, state and society at the sub-municipal level through one ‘state-facing’ PB initiative and one ‘society-facing’ PB initiative. We reveal how PB is deeply embedded in Party structures and networks, formally in the case of Minhang and informally in the case of Yangjing. Our research contributes to three debates on participatory governance in urban China. Firstly, contrary to the existing literature, PB neither primarily ‘emancipates’ citizens nor off-loads budgetary decisions onto them; instead, PB contributes towards party-building and citizens’ orderly participation, thereby strengthening overall Party leadership. Secondly, we challenge the widely-used term ‘party-state’, instead separating out these three entities and showing how they serve distinct roles in grassroots governance innovations such as PB. Thirdly, we show how participatory mechanisms developed in one political and cultural context can have vastly differing effects when employed in another.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"8 1","pages":"56 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48206004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the perspective of political incentives, this paper empirically investigates the effect of the personal characteristics of municipal leaders, mainly their tenure of office and political rotation, on the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic at the city level. The results indicate a negative relationship between tenure of office and the diagnostic rate of COVID-19. The experience of having diverse political rotation has strong positive effects on the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic, especially in places with higher infection risks and better health resources. Due to the division of labor and cooperation between the Communist Party of China and the government, municipal party secretaries and mayors play different roles in the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic. The findings contribute to understanding the dynamic relationship among political incentives, bureaucratic behaviors and performance in the anti-epidemic process in general.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":"8 1","pages":"134 - 159"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43185549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
