Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled Policy Metamorphosis in China: A Case Study of Minban Education in Shanghai submitted by Ding Xiaojiong for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in 2006 By taking minban education at the level of basic education in Shanghai as an example, this research studies the processes of policy implementation in mainland China. The ultimate purpose is to find out the structural factors that induce discrepancies between policy intentions and implementation outcomes. Based on 65 interviews conducted during 2001 and 2004 and inspired by Michel Foucault's conception of governmentality, the research analyzes two episodes in which policies on minban education have been metamorphosed during implementation. Whilst in the first episode involving student admission and fee charging, policy metamorphosis by district-level governments has been more or less covered in disguised forms, in the second episode of converted schools, it has been overt and direct. The research then proposes three moduses of policy implementation, and the Model of Structural Fracturation is advanced as the prevailing modus of policy implementation in contemporary China. The model argues that policy metamorphosis during implementation is not something random; in contrast, it is determined by structural factors that no single policy actor can manipulate. The pyramid of Chinese politics is a loose construction, with vertical and horizontal fracturations between different layers. Vertically, the traditional chain of command is loose in nature; horizontally, policy actors at different levels act according to different agendas. The model highlights the fact that governments at the county/district level are remote from and beyond the control of the Central Government and the provinces. They deserve more attention than they have received. Contrary to Western perspectives which regard the structural fracturation in the Chinese polity as dangerous for national stability and unity, this research takes the fracturation as an important and delicate element of the Chinese mode of governmentality, and suggests that the very strength of the state lies in its capacity to tolerate local deviation and to embrace it into national institutions.
