As part of China 's overall reform process, China 's civil service has also been reformed, beginning in the late 1970s, undergoing a major change in 1993 with the implementation of a new Civil Service System, with the reforms continuing to unfold thereafter. The creation of a modern, clean, competent and merit-based civil service is extremely important to enable China to regulate and manage its increasingly complex economy and society. This book, based on extensive original research, outlines the civil service reforms and assesses their effectiveness. It shows how recruitment, promotion, now based on merit, control by policy-makers and overall effectiveness have all been improved, improved effectiveness being attested to by citizens acknowledging that the civil service now does a much better job. The book concludes by discussing how China 's civil service reforms can serve as a model for other Asian countries.
