Features: This book serves as both a textbook and a research achievement. It is one of the outcomes of the funded project by the Key Research Base of Humanities and Social Sciences under the Ministry of Education—the Center for Public Administration Research, Sun Yat-sen University, and also one of the achievements of the Special Fund Project for National Excellent Doctoral Dissertations. Throughout the writing process, I remained grounded in reality. It can be said that every chapter, section, and issue in this book was inspired not by reviewing literature, but by direct reflection on real-world administrative practices and public management movements. The immediate material for writing this book was the practical realities of public administration and public management movements.
