- Abstract
From a structural-instrumental perspective, the article analyses organizational structures and coordination mechanisms for China's governmental emergency decision-making system. The features of this system can be described as "unified leadership, classified decision, hierarchical control structure and comprehensive coordination". This bureaucratic decision-making system has highlighted the political advantages in the past years, but it also has "fragmented problems": overtopped decision-making center, separated departments, response lag, pulverization of accountability and weak coordination arrangement.
