This book proposes a sector-based policy coordination analytic framework based on which the policy structure and process of immigration management between Guangzhou and Shanghai are analyzed. Overall, this study reveals that the CPC's presence helps overcome sectoral barriers between policy actors. During this process, the establishment of leading small groups, coupled with the CPC's half-a-rank higher de-facto status, authority of personnel appointments, interest-channeling capability, and discretionary power, significantly changes the horizon of the policy process.
