Features: This book employs a systematic and comprehensive analytical approach, integrating theories such as state theory, public administration theory, regional economic theory, constitutional and administrative law theory, and game theory to conduct interdisciplinary research on China's central-local relations. Through historical, comparative, and empirical methods, it provides a structural analysis of the structural models of central-local relations and the mechanisms for the division of powers between central and local governments. Building on the experiences and lessons learned from domestic and international approaches to central-local relations and the division of powers, the book explores the regularities of China's central-local power division, investigates mechanisms for the healthy interaction between central and local relations, and outlines ideas and proposes countermeasures to adjust and reform China's central-local relations. The goal is to optimize government functions, construct a scientifically sound and dynamic central-local constitutional relationship structure, and, as much as possible, propose a power division model for central and local governments that suits China's national conditions, as well as a legal framework for establishing central-local power relations.
