A law based government s one of the objectives of the Chinese administration. A pilot propram that featured evaluating local governments’practices in pursuing the government－by－law objective has been viewed as an impetus for local governments to improve their work. However, the current evaluation efforts have been restricted to a small scale, which has resulted in a lack of overall evaluation and regional comparison. The Center for A Law Based Government, under the CUPL, unveiled an evaluaton effort in 2013, the standards developed and introduced were in line with the relevant decisions and policies issued by the State Council, and covered a wide range of governmental functions including institutional competence, organic leadership team building, administrative law enforcement, government information disclosure, supervision and censorship , social harmonization and administrative dispute resolution. The means of date－collecting included field surveys, questionnaires, network opinion polls and xperiential surveys, and evaluating 53 relatively big municipalities that were delegatd with legislative power. Evaluation results showed that the average scores of those cities stood at 188.87，63 percent of the total 300. Overall, a basic government－by－law structure was completed and local governments evaluated, along with the increasing rule－of－law concept and awareness, which, was still at a lower level, especially in terms of the public satisfaction rating . Local governments need to introduce more standardized regulations and rules, and adopt more democratic policy procedures and decision－making, thereby ettering the information disclosure mechanism in order to meet public need and improve dispute－resolution measures to boost social harmony. |
