Policy Coordination in China

More about the book

The book investigates how different types of policies affect coordination in governance, specifically comparing regulatory policies like food safety with distributive policies such as infectious disease management in China. It reveals that tailored coordination structures that align with the unique characteristics of each policy type lead to better intergovernmental and intersectoral collaboration. Conversely, using the same coordination approach for diverse policies yields minimal improvements. The findings emphasize the necessity for governments to adopt varied coordination strategies based on policy type.
