Abstract

Taking an ecological approach, this article examines the resumption, formation, and development of public administration (PA) as a discipline in China. Through content analysis and process tracing, we argue that the social contexts during China's transition period and existing knowledge, both endogenous and exogenous, are major forces shaping the nature of the discipline and pushing its development. We also point out that Chinese PA now is facing challenges, calling for deeper localization and closer integration into global scholarship.
