Research paper thumbnail of Marketization, globalization and administrative reform in China: a zigzag road to a promising future

This article mainly focuses on the reforms of the State Council, the central government of China, and then deals with the five main rounds of reform. It gives a full picture of the story of reform with its context and contents, the measures taken, the difficulties encountered and the challenges ahead. It is argued that administrative reform in China has been used to reorient the Communist state to an emerging market-oriented economy and to enhance the capacity of the government to regulate market forces and to respond to the significant impacts made by economic globalization. Given the authoritarian nature of the party-state polity of China, the authors argue that administrative reform in China has also been used as an alternative route to alleviate the crisis of governance resulting from rapid social change; however, its effects are constrained by the implications of politico-administrative apparatus. To build up a modern governing system suitable for a market economy, a proactive approach, including political or constitutional reform, should be put on the agenda. G It represents a good example showing how the Communist administrative apparatus reorient themselves in an emerging market-oriented economic setting and why it is successful/unsuccessful in the context of an authoritarian regime; G This is an administrative reform with Chinese characteristics; G The reform in China has responded to the world-wide trend of administrative reform.
