What are the features of China's national governance in terms of its institutional design? How does China organically integrate the Party, government agencies and diverse stakeholders such as market entities and social organizations to form the governance pattern of "pluralism under one core" and consultative co-governance? How does it fulfill the people-centered idea in all fields and at all levels of national governance? Focusing on those issues, this book analyzes a number of important aspects of China's national governance, including institutional building, administrative system, economic governance, social welfare, social governance, emergency management, ecological civilization, and governance tools. Adopting perspectives of public administration, political science, economics and other disciplines, this book puts forward many new ideas and concepts. It is a key to understanding the "governance of China".

Preface
The Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Some Major Issues Concerning Upholding and Improving the System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and Advancing the Modernization of China's National Governance System and Capacity (referred to as The Decision)adopted at the fourth plenary session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC)is a continuation and deepening of the series of decisions and spirit of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on deepening the reform since the Party's 18th and 19th National Congresses, which points out the direction for the further development of the world-class national governance theory and practice with Chinese characteristics. The Decision further clarifies the connotation, extension and conceptual system of national governance. Dissimilar to the mainstream of the Western governance theory that presupposes a Western model, The Decision indicates that China's national governance is first and foremost great socialist practice as well as the result of history and people's choice. It has distinct Chinese characteristics with highlighting the nationality, historicity, people's nature and politics of national governance and emphasizing thirteen significant advantages of China's national governance. At the same time, The Decision regards China's system and capacity for governance as the representation of a country's basic system and its implementation capacity. It also makes a comprehensive, scientific and systematic definition of national governance under the guidance of the Marxist methodology. The theoretical system embodied in The Decision is rigorous, comprehensive and systematic, reflecting the latest achievements in the development of philosophy and social sciences, drawing upon the advanced experience from the development of other countries, summarizing the successful practice of China's socialist construction as well as achieving a high degree of unity of universality and particularity.
