Conclusion.  aThis book looks into the processes sustaining the administrative reform in Chinese local government and the roles of different actors during different phases by tracing a vivid administrative reform process in Shunde district, Guangdong province between 2009 and 2014. In 2008, Chinese central government initiated a new round of large-scale, top-to-bottom administrative reform—“mega-ministry” administrative reform—to address the long-lasting administrative problems. Against this background, the reforms in Shunde government (county level) operated well and sustained for several years, which was enlarged to the administrative licensing field and hence influenced China’s reforms in the following 10 years. Shunde case could allow us a better peep at the factors that contribute to the sustenance of reform. The analyses in this book find that sustenance of reform reflects, ironically, the logics of both path dependence and path creation. The past reform trajectories have created a favorable background for further reform to evolve, and a receptive ground in which exogenous forces interacted with the local reform-minded actors to create the new reform innovations. The combination of path dependence and path creation kept local reform afloat. 0aPolitical science. 0aPolitical planning. 0aPublic administration.14aGovernance and Government.24aPublic Policy.24aPublic Administration.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981999713808iPrinted edition:z978981999715208iPrinted edition:z9789819997169 0aState Governance,x2731-084140uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-9714-5
