Despite the presence of numerous governance-related factors commonly viewed as highly adverse to successful infrastructure development, China across various measures reaches levels of efficiency in infrastructure project provision that are on par with standards in industrialised Western countries. Engaging with this puzzle, this research project aims to identify key determinants for the success and failure of infrastructure provision in China's authoritarian and decentralised political system. Studying the impact of infrastructure governance on project outcomes across different industry sectors, administrative levels and financing models, this project offers comparative insight into the political processes that determine the direction and results of China's infrastructure boom of recent decades. By clarifying how governance factors determine and affect the logic of infrastructure provision in China, this project furthermore aims to resolve inconsistencies within the existing governance literature and ultimately expand its reach to incorporate the Chinese case.

尽管存在许多通常被认为对成功的基础设施发展极为不利的治理相关因素，但中国在各项基础设施项目提供方面的效率水平已达到西方工业化国家的标准。为了解决这个难题，本研究项目旨在确定中国威权和分权政治体系中基础设施供应成败的关键决定因素。该项目研究了基础设施治理对不同行业、行政级别和融资模式的项目成果的影响，为决定近几十年来中国基础设施繁荣方向和结果的政治进程提供了比较见解。通过阐明治理因素如何决定和影响中国基础设施提供的逻辑，该项目还旨在解决现有治理文献中的不一致之处，并最终扩大其范围以纳入中国案例。
