The Governing China Cluster is interdisciplinary and focuses on the study of China’s government, executive politics, public policy, law, public administration, and the organization of the state, including its embedded relationships with the ruling Communist Party. It is also interested more broadly in China’s decision-making and policy implementation processes across various policy fields, (e.g. environment, social welfare issues, digital governance, health, economy, security, and justice), as well as the multiple actors and stakeholders they involve on various scales, and the formal and informal structures and institutions that underpin them. The cluster aims to bring together DKU faculty members, students and research staff from a range of social science disciplines and also to develop stronger ties both with China scholars in other countries and with the Chinese academic community in China.
