Features: Based on an analysis of the administrative shortcomings faced by China during its current period of social transformation, this book advocates for the concept of a "service-oriented government," aiming to reshape the dominant administrative value of "serving the people wholeheartedly" and interpret the constitutional principle and spirit of "the people's government serving the people." The book discusses the following four aspects of administration:
Part 1 highlights the importance of revitalizing the values of China's public administration and building a "service-oriented government" as a key issue in the current development of Chinese administration.
Part 2 proposes the establishment of a "responsible government" as a fundamental goal of administrative reform and explores the pathways to achieving public administrative responsibility, including strictly holding public administration accountable for its negative responsibilities, legally defining its objective responsibilities, and vigorously promoting its moral responsibilities.
Part 3, in analyzing the current problems in China's administrative conduct, outlines the approach to strengthening administrative conduct: first, enhancing internal qualities while shaping external perceptions; second, transitioning from ethics to the rule of law, implementing both moral and legal measures.
Part 4 focuses on analyzing the root causes of low government administrative efficiency, emphasizing the significance of establishing a positive administrative cultural environment that promotes efficiency and comprehensively addressing bureaucracy and formalism.
