Provision of quality public service is crucial to citizens' quality of life and trust in government. Sustained economic growth and the subsequent profound socio-political changes have led to rising citizen demand for better public service in China in the past decades. How does the Chinese leadership respond to the challenge of providing quality public service? What approaches have been adopted? What are the major factors affecting the efficiency, effectiveness, equity and responsiveness in public service provision? What are the major determinants of citizen assessment of public service quality? How can we evaluate the quality of public service? What lessons do China offer to and learn from other developing and transitional countries regarding public service provision?
In an effort to address these important issues in public service provision, the Nanyang Centre for Public Administration at Nanyang Technological University will hold a conference on 10-11 March, 2012. The goal of the conference is to bring together scholars and practitioners to examine the major aspects of public service delivery in China from a comparative perspective.
Conference Theme

n How to improve public service quality
n Factors affecting public service quality in China and elsewhere.
n Characteristics and mechanisms of public service provision in China and elsewhere.
n Comparison of administrative reforms to improve public service quality in China and elsewhere.
