Features: This book employs a systematic and comprehensive analytical approach, integrating theories such as state theory, public administration theory, regional economic theory, constitutional and administrative law theory, and game theory to conduct interdisciplinary research on the central-local relationship in China. Through historical, comparative, and empirical methods, it conducts structural analysis of the structural models of central-local relationships and the mechanisms for the division of powers between central and local governments. Based on summarizing the experiences and lessons learned from both domestic and international approaches to managing central-local relationships and the division of central-local powers, the book explores the regularities of the division of powers between central and local governments in China, investigates mechanisms for the healthy interaction between central and local governments, and provides insights and policy recommendations for adjusting and reforming China's central-local relationships. The goal is to optimize government functions, construct a scientifically sound and dynamic central-local constitutional relationship structure, and propose a power division model and legal framework for central-local relationships that are tailored to China's national conditions.
