Abstract
Governmental governance is at the heart of national governance and is the most important subsystem in the whole national system of governance. The modernization of governmental governance is an important part of the whole process of modernization and it is also an important driving force in that modernization. Since the reform and opening-up, Zhejiang has proceeded from the reality to creatively adjust its role and functional orientation, continuously improve the system of basic public services which benefits the whole population, and innovate the mechanism of governmental management; governmental governance has generally experienced a change from “governance characterized by non-interference” to “active intervention” and then to a service-oriented government.
