At present, China’s society is in a critical period of transformation, where the public governance environment is characterized by complexity, dynamism, and diversity. Public administration, as a core practice activity for maintaining social order and providing public services, faces multiple challenges such as demographic shifts, diversified interest demands, and emerging risks. Policy analysis, as a tool for decision-making optimization based on data and theory, often struggles to precisely align with governance needs when operating independently due to a lack of practical feedback. While public administration emphasizes resource allocation and process coordination at the implementation level, policy analysis focuses on scientific justification during decision-making. If the two remain long-term disconnected, it may lead to a gap between policy design and implementation, resulting in resource waste or delays in resolving public issues. Therefore, exploring strategies for the integration of public administration and policy analysis holds significant value for building a modern governance system that is more responsive and effective.
