Features: This book focuses on the various challenging issues faced during China's reform and opening-up process, attempting to establish an analytical framework from a new international perspective. It primarily employs theories and methods from institutional economics, political science, and public administration, following the academic path pointed out by Elinor Ostrom, and conducts multidimensional research and exploration on the transformation and direction of government governance paradigms. The main innovations of the paper include:
① Exploring the essence of market order, discussing and solving the "Adam Smith Problem," and providing an institutional interpretation of the state.
② Revisiting and proposing theoretical hypotheses of single-center and multi-center governance, systematically integrating and further reflecting on issues in governance theory.
③ Elaborating on the relationship between governance theory and neoliberalism, and reviewing the "Washington Consensus" and the "Post-Washington Consensus."
④ Analyzing the government's institutional supply and role in governance order.
⑤ Developing a theoretical framework for government governance paradigms and analyzing the fundamental elements of good governance.
⑥ Interpreting the concept of third-party government.
⑦ Conducting a systematic critique of China's planned economy "path dependency."
