Features: This book applies the theory of government responsiveness to analyze the insufficient responsiveness in the decision-making process of the Chinese government, explores the institutional barriers in the responsiveness mechanisms within the government's decision-making process, analyzes the intrinsic functions and logic of government responsiveness mechanisms, and proposes ideas for innovating and establishing a responsive government to address the lack of public participation in government decision-making and the poor responsiveness of the government. The book is divided into four parts for research: Part one is an analysis of the concept of government responsiveness theory. The second part, through historical and current analysis, argues that there exists a dilemma of public inadequacy and a shortage of government responsiveness mechanisms in the policy decision-making process in China. The third part analyzes the reasons for the insufficient public participation and the lack of interaction mechanisms in government responsiveness. The fourth part, the book proposes institutional innovation in the construction of public participation mechanisms in government public decision-making, exploring the development of participation and responsiveness from an institutional perspective. The author believes that strengthening the reform and improvement of China's current public decision-making system should focus on three dimensions: transparency, participation, and responsiveness, ultimately culminating in the democratization of government public decision-making. The author proposes that the construction of a responsive government, guided by the development of government public decision-making responsiveness mechanisms, should take a rights-based society and a "cooperative governance" model of government as anchors, establishing an effective policy network responsiveness model, a public rights-centered responsiveness model, and a practice-based responsiveness system led by the Party and government system, thereby forming a responsive government.
