China's Local Administration by Jae Ho Chung

China's Local Administration by Jae Ho Chung

This book presents a comprehensive survey of China's local administration. It considers all kinds of local government units and their administrative functions, both historically and in the present day: ranging from the provinces, centrally-administered municipalities and autonomous regions to prefectures, counties, townships and urban districts.

"This book sets benchmarks in regards to what is required knowledge about the history, structure and complexity of China's local administrative and institutional infrastructure.. It will be an indispensible research and reference tool for anyone interested in China's local government, public administration, provision of public services and political reform." - Hans Hendrischke, The China Quarterly, Volume 203, September 2010

"This volume is a much-needed publication which provides a comprehensive overview of the spatial organization of political power in China’s administrative hierarchy... This volume contains profound analyses, which are packed with intricate details, yet highly readable through the use of illustrative examples. It should be essential
reading for political scientists, sociologists, geographers and anyone else interested in understanding China’s evolving administrative structures." - Björn Alpermann, Assistant Professor of Contemporary Chinese Studies, Würzburg University; Journal of Chinese Political Science/Association of Chinese Political Studies 2011
