Public Policy Public Lecture
The Road to Collaborative Governance in China
Collaborative governance, as the sharing of power and discretion between public and private actors for public purposes, has been emerging in China as a new way to adapt the government to unprecedented socioeconomic changes and challenges.  This lecture reviews the general context of collaborative governance in China from a historical perspective, and discusses major trends and characteristics of China's road to collaborative governance since its reform and opening up.  Incrementalism, state-leadership, shifting focus from economic to social areas, multiple paths and mechanisms of diffusion, and spontaneous bridging mechanisms between contracting and collaborative governance are identified as major trends of both practical and theoretical importance.

Venue: Social Sciences Chamber, 11/F, The Jockey Club Tower, Centennial Campus, HKU
