Abstract

This book offers a comparative analysis of network governance in England and China, focusing on local public service delivery in the realms of elderly care and social care for individuals with learning disabilities. It explores the feasibility and effectiveness of network governance, a concept that examines the interactions between state, market, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in public service delivery. The author conducts ethnographic research in Southampton, England, and the Water District, China, to assess similarities and differences in governance practices. The study reveals that while austerity in England undermines network governance by limiting resource exchange, China showcases unexpected local diversity and flexibility despite a centralized power structure. The book is intended for scholars and practitioners interested in governance, public policy, and comparative politics, aiming to provide insights into the applicability of Western governance theories in different cultural contexts.
