Abstract: In recent years, with the central government putting forward the modernization of the state governance system and governance capacity as an important part of deepening reform, the topic of government governance has received attention from political science, sociology, economics, law, management, and other scholars research. It not only deepens the academic research on government governance, but also promotes the understanding of reform in the practical level. The earlier discussion on the issue of government governance is from scholars of political science and public administration. The key point is that the government governance is the future orientation of government management. Subsequently, scholars in the fields of law, economics, sociology, and so on have also conducted in-depth research on government governance. They mainly regard government governance as a kind of background or influence factors that are variables to affect economic performance or society. Therefore, we comb and summarize these literature in this article and explain the government governance research from the macro, medium, and micro perspectives to help us understand the academic focus on government governance issues, such as the existence of different views, and the evolution of theoretical research on government governance content, methods, tools, structure, and model.
