Features: This book starts by analyzing the traditional administrative model and explains why governments around the world are striving to construct new governance models. Based on the reform proposals of governments worldwide and the government reform practices of major developed countries, it summarizes ands four future government governance models: market-oriented government (emphasizing marketization of government management), participatory government (advocating more participation in government management), flexible government (believing that governments need more flexibility), and de-regulatory government (proposing the reduction of internal government rules). These four government governance models each have different theoretical foundations and are suitable for different government systems. For each government governance model, the author provides an in-depth analysis from five aspects: problems, structures, management, policy-making, and the public interest.
