Since 20th century 80's,the western counrties, such as America,New Zealand, Australia and Britain, have started a large-scale government reform movement.The government reform movement is called new pulic administration which is characteristic of "goverment reinvention" and "reengineering public sector". The wave of goverment reform swept rapidly all over the world and gradually developed into the mainstream of reform model in most of the countries. Under the impetus of the reform movement, the public administration scholars, such as Buchanan,Osborne and Gaebler, carried out a systematic theoretical analysis of the new theory. They began to advocate the "New Public Administration" in the public administration academic world. The new pulic administration theory try to break away from the dependence on bureaucracy which the managerialism and policy-oriented model administration thoery pay most of their attention on. It praise highly of the economic rationalism and propose to reform and reengineer the public sectors with entrepreneurial spirit. The new public administration thoery claims to research and resolve the problems of public administration by the economic channels. So some scholars also call it "entrepreneurial public management theory" or "market-oriented public administration theory".Today, the new public administration has received a great deal of developments both in theoretical system and practice. The theoretical system improves gradually. The practical experience are also more sophisticated. It spreads to most countries in the world from America,New Zealand, Australia and Britain. And it has become one of the most significant global trend in the past two or three decades.Chinese public administration theory and the practice of government reform have been affected by the new public administration theory. It has disseminated widely in China and made important contributions to the study of Chinese administration theories and practice. However, in dealing with new public administration theory, Chinese theoretical circle is still in the stage of translation of the western theories and is lack of true understandings and insights. In practice, the administration scholars and government officials both have some misunderstandings of the new public administration theory. When they translate and introduce the theory into China, they did not pay enough attention to China's specific conditions. They follow the principles of market-oriented model ,privatization and decentralization blindly. Under the guidance of this theory, the effect to China's education, health care and housing reform is not so prominent.Therefore , we need to re-consider the new public administration theory and re-explore a suitable road for China's future reform.This paper is based on the re-determination of the core elments of the new public administration theory and make some comments on the merits of this theoretical system. I will study the development of new public management theory in China from two basic ways, in theory and in practice. And I also will make a comprehensive analysis and theoretical reflection of the new public administration theory. Finally, I will propose my own public administration theory, the new nationalism administration theory.
