The history of Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration's efforts in building collaborations with China began in the late 1990s, when Professor Marc Holzer, the founding Dean of the School, was invited by the Chinese Society for Public Administration, Peking University, and People's University of China to give presentations in Beijing. Since then, the cooperation between China and SPAA has been increasingly strengthened as the field of public administration is rapidly developing in both China and the United States. SPAA is currently engaged in several initiatives and programs that support the development of public administration in China. Below are the major ongoing projects related to China.


The Section on Chinese Public Administration (SCPA)
Rutgers SPAA is the Secretariat of the American Society for Public Administration Memorandum of Understanding with the Chinese Public Administration Society. SPAA is also the home to and manages the Chinese Public Administration Section of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA). SCPA was established in April 2006 with the approval of ASPA's National Council. It consists of scholars and practitioners from the U.S., China and other countries. It is the largest professional and scholarly organization in the field of Chinese public administration and public affairs in the U.S.. SCPA collaborates closely with the Chinese Public Administration Society and facilitates cooperation with the schools of public affairs and administration in China and their counterparts in the U.S.

The School has such an agreement with People's University of China, and is currently in discussions with several other universities in Beijing and Shanghai for this type of program. The School has established regular contact and dialogue with Chinese Public Administration community to explore possibilities of further cooperation.
