This collection compares the practical challenges of public administration in mainland China, Taiwan and Australia. Contributors examine how governments organise institutions, manage resources and deliver services under different political and administrative arrangements.
Twenty-three chapters are organised around intergovernmental relations, financial management, civil service capability and service delivery. Studies consider budgeting, evaluation, health and aged care, administrative reform and the tensions between central direction and local responsibility. Individual cases connect organisational choices with their consequences for public agencies and the people they serve. Tables, figures and references accompany the comparative analyses.
