Features: The transformation of Chinese public administration from "management" to "enforcement" is an inevitable requirement of China's transition from a planned economy system to a market economy system, a necessary part of shifting from an all-powerful government and a rule-by-man government to a limited government and a rule-of-law government. It is also a practical implementation of the constitutional principle of "governing the country according to law and building a socialist rule-of-law state." This book is one of the research outcomes of the "Administrative Enforcement and Administrative Procedures Research" project team of the Public Law Research Center at Peking University (the research project was jointly funded by the "National Social Science Fund of China" and the "Humanities and Social Sciences Fund of the Ministry of Education"). This research outcome provides a relatively comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the theory and practice of Chinese administrative enforcement, covering topics such as the concept of administrative enforcement, the capabilities and functions of administrative enforcement, administrative enforcement behavior and means, the application and interpretation of law in administrative enforcement, the procedures of administrative enforcement, the supervision of administrative enforcement, the transformation of administrative enforcement concepts in the context of China's entry into the WTO, and the material guarantees for administrative enforcement. This book not only summarizes and reviews China's past practices and theories of administrative enforcement but also proposes several ideas and specific suggestions for future reforms in China's administrative enforcement. It holds both theoretical significance and practical reference value.
