The Proposition Shift in Administrative Law Based on China’s Governance Practice

(Abstract)

Shi Youqi

China’s governance practice has its own unique law of development, value objectives and scope, one that not only extends to different principals, fields and spaces, but also promotes the development of administrative law research. Governance practice and innovation provide empirical materials and promote the evolution of the value orientation of administrative law research and help adjust the institutional functions of administrative law. In line with the demands of the rule of law, administrative law research should focus on institutional improvement, and should optimize the goals of administrative law by integrating the rule of law with China’s national conditions, coordinating governance innovation with the rule of administrative law, balancing public power and citizens’ rights, and integrating China’s rule of law with the global rule of law. We will explore the main path of the proposition shift in administrative law by enhancing the responsiveness, inclusiveness, integrity and global nature of administrative law, and promote the innovation of administrative law theory. Only with a basis in the context of Chinese governance modernization can the construction of the administrative law knowledge system demonstrate its autonomy, innovation and coherence.
