Features: Strategic research and strategic decision-making are emerging disciplines that first arose and developed in Western countries such as Europe and America since World War II. Their purpose is to provide multiple options for government political policies, military decisions, and major actions. They primarily leverage the collective wisdom of think tanks to bridge the gap between decision-makers' responsibilities and capabilities, serving as a bridge between knowledge and politics. This makes decision-making more selective, evidence-based, efficient, and scientific.
Public Administration embodies the essential spirit of requiring the government to provide public services that transcend partisan conflicts for all members of society, regardless of class, group, or race. Therefore, it more fully reflects the connotations of a democratic, responsible, capable, efficient, and transparent government administrative system in a modern market economy. From this perspective, we propose the concept of public information. That is, public decision-making perspectives derived from open media, public spaces, and public figures, reflecting the trends and developments of economic and social progress. This is reusable, data-driven, public, and universally applicable shared information for all public management departments, strategic decision-making institutions, and policy research units.
Therefore, it serves as a practical guide for building a harmonious society and a must-read text for scientific development. It is also a typical textbook for leaders at all levels to grasp the rules of governance and a summary of experience in reform and innovation.
Finally, it should be noted that all the cases selected in this book are from the Weekly Leadership Decision Information and the three reports published around the same time: China Policy Report 2006, China National Conditions Report 2006, and China National Strength Report 2006.
