The study of public policy has entered a transformative era, one defined by rising global complexity, transboundary governance challenges, and the need to move beyond Western-centric theoretical paradigms. This landscape calls for a mode of global dialogue that bridges regional boundaries and local insights that ground theory into governance realities. It further requires a commitment to collective problem-solving that addresses the shared challenges of our interdependent world. In this spirit, China’s longstanding practices of policy experimentation, hierarchical coordination and adaptive implementation offer an indispensable empirical setting to reexamine public policy theory for a global age.
