Abstract

Government affairs openness is an inevitable requirement for building an open government, a law-based government, an innovative government, a clean government and a service-oriented government. Over the years, Shandong province has been continuously promoting the work of government affairs openness and achieved great results. Taking government affairs openness in Shandong province as an example, and taking the 2017 government website as the benchmark, this paper made a professional evaluation of provincial departments, municipal governments and county-level governments in the province from the perspective of a third party. Combined with the evaluation results of some cities in 2018, the paper also elaborates on the highlights and existing problems of current government affairs openness in Shandong province, finds out the root causes of the problems, and puts forward suggestions for improvement.
