Abstract

Wuhan’s Local Government System is an integral and dependent functioning organ of Chinese provincial as well as central government’s machinery. This is executed and administered in two ways (i.e., through centralized system which integrates the Local People’s Congresses with the National People’s Congress through dispensation of elections, and through dual subordination of local government set-up). It is also accountable to higher-level governments that are provincial and central in general. The administratively-functional bureaus and departments are accountable to higher-level provincial and central commissions, ministries, and agencies too. In addition to it, to run the system smoothly and efficiently, the personnel functions are integrated among various levels of local governing paraphernalia. The distinction of the system is that it has a unique monitoring and checks, not only by the voters but also by the higher cadres. Because of its integrative nature, Wuhan’s Local Government System has been associated with a number of localized institutions to deliver the services. In this paper, an attempt has been made to evaluate the functioning of town and district governments with an objective of drawing analysis of Local Government System in Wuhan to assess the local councils’ performance, people-centric participation in formulating and implementing public policies, and urban development programs.
