The Campaign-Style Governance:A Mobilization Mechanism with Chinese Characteristics
Campaign-style governance is rooted in traditional Chinese politics.It has also become the keyword of Chi-nese public administration with its widespread presence in contemporary Chinese national and local governance.There is a relationship between campaign-style governance mechanisms and hierarchical governance,which includes substitution,complementarity,and synergy.This association is an important experience in the revolution,construction,and develop-ment of contemporary China,reflecting the institutional advantages and governance effectiveness of Chinese state govern-ance.However,campaign-style governance mechanisms also face the dilemma of effectiveness and the paradox of legiti-macy caused by the layering of targets and the distortion of goals.A future pathway will embrace an institutionalized gov-ernance that is standardized,observe the rule of law,and focus on long-term effectiveness.Accordingly,campaign-style governance mechanisms will restrict public goals as well as provide technical,normative,and procedural constraints.Al-though campaign-style governance has distinctive Chinese characteristics,it is deeply related to bureaucratic governance,mobilization politics,and holistic governance.It has a wide range of applicability in both developing countries and devel-oped countries.As both a theoretical concept and a governance mechanism,it is both country specific and universal re-garding global public governance.
