Notes:
Examines recent reform initiatives in the PRC compared with advanced industralised democracies, searching for common attributes in order to establish, if possible, global patterns in such administrative reform initiatives. Reviewing these issues, admits that administrative reform, along with all other matters, is decided by the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party. Details the history of Chinese administrative reform since the early 1950s. Asks, in conclusion, whether reform initiatives in the PRC are similar to those elsewhere. The PRC clearly differs in this from the principles of the New Public Management (NPM). However, with global economic competition and the increasingly free dissemination of ideas the PRC may find it hard to resist reform. Even so, administrative reforms borrowed from elsewhere will invariably be influenced by Chinese ethnocentric characteristics.
