Features: This book is the research outcome of the "Rule of Law Government Research" project of Beijing, specifically focusing on the topic of "Rule of Law Government and Administrative Decision-Making, Administrative Legislation." Chapters 1 and 2 discuss the typical characteristics of gradual, government-led reforms in China's reforms, as well as how the transformation of government functions adapts to the new requirements of the market economy system and the construction of socialist democratic political institutions. Chapters 3 and 4 elaborate on the relevant concepts and functions of administrative decision-making and administrative legislation. Chapter 5 analyzes the relationship between the two key requirements of a rule-of-law government for administrative decision-making—scientificization and democratization. Chapter 6 examines the requirements of a rule-of-law government for administrative legislation from aspects such as legislative authority, legislative procedures, and legislative oversight. Chapters 7 and 8 explore the pathways and significance of legalizing administrative decision-making and administrative legislation. Unlike other specialized works, this book studies administrative decision-making and administrative legislation—two government activities with similarities and close connections—together. Grounded in the broader context of China's social transition and transformation, it delves into the current demands of building a rule-of-law government on administrative decision-making and legislative processes, offering strong theoretical and practical significance.
