The sports administrative law, represented by the Shanghai Sports Development Regulations, systematically clarifies the government's responsibilities for sports development and its code of conduct. The administrative structure of sports development has multiple tasks, such as the provision of sports public services, the promotion of the development of the sports industry, and the supervision of sports market activities. In order to complete the multiple tasks of sports development administration, the legislation has clarified the mechanism to give full play to the decisive role of the market and better role of the government, and that the mechanisms of government-society cooperation and social participation should also be introduced accordingly, in order to build on their respective strengths and efficiencies. The legislation also establishes the ways of developing administration with planning, construction, and operation, helping administration with subsidies, financial support, and social security, and regulating administration with licensing, compliance and penalties. As a result, the administrative law for sports development has correspondingly formed a horizontal normative structure with norms of mandate and behaviour, a vertical normative structure at foundational, applied and managerial levels, and a multiple legitimacy basis including administrative legality, fitness for purpose and performance. |
