The autonomy of Chinese NGOs: a new perspective

In: China: CIJ ; an international journal, Band 5, Heft 2, S. 173-203

Abstract

In the same environment, some NGOs in China - both officially-organised and popular NGOs - have fared much better than others in terms of maintaining their autonomy, mobilising public support or achieving organisational sustainability and development. Officially-organised NGOs can enjoy much de facto autonomy while popular NGOs can face many constraints. The skills of NGOs in "negotiating the state" often make a crucial difference in the degree of autonomy they enjoy. (CIJ/GIGA)
