The Idea of Governance and the Spirit of Chinese Neoliberalism

Focusing on governance within the framework of Chinese neoliberalism, the book critically analyzes how governance ideas have shaped the national reform agenda. It explores the institutional and intellectual foundations of these concepts, highlighting key neoliberal features in transitional China. Through interpretive analysis, it examines the normative principles and technical skills that define the ruling structure of Chinese neoliberalism. The work also traces the evolution of governance discourse and concludes with suggestions for engaging critically with these ideas and their intellectual implications.
