Features: How to study policy science? There are two different choices:
One is to first introduce research findings on policy science from abroad and then apply and absorb them based on our actual conditions.
The other is to focus on studying the experiences in formulating correct policies and the lessons from making wrong policies in China's history and reality, from which inherent patterns can be abstracted and generalized. At the same time, foreign research findings are referenced to help policy science take root in practical soil and stay close to real-life situations. This approach not only facilitates understanding but also enhances applicability. The author of this book advocates for the second research method. This is the spirit of "not relying solely on books or superiors, but only on reality," which is also a concrete embodiment of "seeking truth from facts." Therefore, the book extensively quotes and analyzes numerous examples to uphold this original intention.
