Features: The 9th volume of Administrative Law Forum adheres to the established style of the series, reflecting to some extent the unremitting efforts of scholars in China's administrative law field, especially young scholars, over the past year. Among them: Gao Qiangwei's Introduction to the Interpretation of Administrative Law Norms combines Chinese realities and conducts a detailed theoretical and practical discussion on the interpretation of administrative law norms, which is of great significance in the application of administrative law but relatively weak in domestic research, proposing feasible solutions to current Chinese issues. Zhang Shitai's translation of Carol Harlow's Law and Public Administration retrospectively examines some typical responses of administrative law to the evolving techniques of public administration and records the tensions between the fields of law and public administration. The article particularly mentions that, based on a reflection on the cold legalization process and the aloof law, the European Union has increasingly relied on the use of "soft law" and soft governance techniques. The issues of public choice theory overlap significantly with those of public law, hence the article has attracted considerable attention in the field of public law. In the article A Deep Analysis of the Limitations of Public Choice Methodology, Jin Zining explores the three fundamental requirements of public choice theory from the perspective of public law, thoroughly analyzing the strengths and limitations of public choice theory as a methodology. Regarding the scholar Oli Loebel's The New New Deal: The Decline of Regulation and the Rise of Governance in Modern Legal Thought, Wang Xinyan's New Governance from a Legal Perspective and Wang Weiming's Beyond Managerial Governance Models interpret and comment on it from different angles, further analyzing the significance of new governance theory for administrative law and its own several issues.
