A comparative study of urban govervance in China and the EU member states

Performance measurement is carried out by the governments world-wide. Use of performance information is a pivotal issue in performance management. However, the non-use of performance information is a ubiquitous phenomenon in both the developed countries and the developing countries. What are the reasons? The research project would use the comparative method to explore it. We would choose one European City and one city from China to do a comparative study. The objective is to find out the reasons influencing the use of performance information, especially the role of culture and institutions in this process.
