Features: Enhancing and strengthening the decision-making capacity of the government is key to achieving scientific public policy and improving public management. This book fully incorporates theories and knowledge from political science, management, sociology, and psychology, systematically analyzing the construction of public decision-making capacity, decision-making processes, influencing factors, decision-making principles, alternative selection rules, as well as the technologies and methods in decision-making. Particularly, it applies some new research findings from game theory, public choice theory, and organizational psychology to the study of public decision-making, which holds certain innovative significance. This book represents a valuable attempt to integrate public decision-making with policy analysis, helping to overcome the previous emphasis on policy analysis while neglecting decision-making in teaching. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in public management, a reference for graduate students, and also provide practical guidance for leaders and other public administrators.
