講座摘要:

Based on his two recent books on institutional analysis, Professor Tang will examine some of the major governance challenges in contemporary China and problems with the current approaches to addressing these challenges. He will then outline an alternative perspective for re-conceptualizing governance reform in China, based on Alexis De Tocqueville’s insights on “self-interest rightly understood” and “centralized government but decentralized administration”.
