The National Key Research Base for Humanities and Social Sciences—Sun Yat-sen University School of Public Administration has specially compiled and published Frontiers of Chinese Public Management. In addition to fundamental theories of public management, the book is structured based on the editors' definition of public management as "social activities involving the management of public affairs by public organizations and their personnel" and its classification into four types (all from a narrow perspective): national public management, government public management, social public management, and international public management.
