Features: Any government in a country must fulfill the functions of political governance, social management, and public service, which determines the close connection between the government and society. This connection is reflected in their mutual influence and interaction. The state and government arise from the needs of human social historical development and, in turn, have a positive impact on society in establishing order and promoting civilization. During different periods of human historical development, the relationship between the government and society has different characteristics. Social transformation is inevitable in social development, and development implies change and renewal. Contemporary China is undergoing social transformation, and administrative development is part of the overall social development. It is a process of self-adjustment and self-adaptation of the government's administrative system in the face of significant changes in the social environment. This book provides an in-depth exploration of administrative reform and development in the context of social transformation. The book is divided into 9 chapters, covering topics such as the adjustment of the relationship between social transformation and administration, the transformation of government functions, the development of China's third sector, the construction of the civil service, administrative institutional reform, the renewal of administrative culture, the development of government capacity, the transformation of governance strategies, and anti-corruption efforts.
