Abstract
Modem public administrators can gain useful insights by studying centuries old administrative phenomena and philosophical teachings. This essay discusses the development of Chinese civil service and the important role it played during the early history of Chinese civilization. Approaches to public administration and governance in three important streams of political thought of ancient China-Taoism, Confucianism and Legalism - are explored, as well as similar ideas in Sun Tzu' s classic treatise on military strategy.
