“黑堡宣言”于今日中国之意义——对建设公共行政规范理论的启示

The Significance of Blacksburg Manifesto to Today's China: Building a Normative Theory of Public Administration

今日之中国处于进一步深化改革的关键时期,公共行政要想为中国社会的发展作出应有的贡献,必须要建立好公共行政的规范理论。研究借鉴美国黑堡宣言的致思路径,对建立中国公共行政规范理论应注意研究的几个问题进行了初步探讨,比如公共行政与宪政、公共行政与公民、公共行政的历史视角和公共行政的后现代理念。

China today is at a critical moment of restructuring its political, social, and cultural systems. Public administration has to establish its normative theory if it can make significant contributions to this process. Learning from the thoughts of Blacksburg Manifesto, this paper discusses several key questions that merit attention in building a normative theory of public administration in the Chinese context. These questions include public administration and constitutionism, public administration and citizen, historical perspective of public administration in China, and introducing postmodern ideas in public administration.
