Depuis le début du xxi e siècle, la Chine essaie de construire un marché social qui pallie les effets de l'économie de marché. L'État a organisé des transferts sociaux pour lutter contre les inégalités régionales et la pauvreté des ruraux. 59 millions de pauvres urbains bénéficient d'un revenu minimum d'existence garanti. 800 millions de Chinois bénéficient d'un système d'assurance santé, en voie d'extension dans les zones rurales. Les trois régimes de retraite couvrent 80 % de la population adulte de plus de 16 ans. Des aides au logement ont été mises en place. En douze ans le budget consacré à la protection sociale a été multiplié par 10 et fait maintenant 10,5 % du PIB.

China has an appalling record of workplace safety in its coalmining industry. This article first traces the long-term trends of fatality at different types of coalmines, then analyzes why the number and rate of fatalities in the industry have remained so high, and finally discusses how the government has gradually overhauled its regulatory system to cope with the dreadful state of safety. Based on the case study, the article concludes that China's transition from state socialism has not resulted in a Hayekian night-watchman state but in a new regulatory state, which exerts controls over a wide range of economic and social affairs via standard setting, supervision, monitoring, and enforcement.

Why cannot civil society always live up to its advocates' expectation? This study explores one possible explanation -- the implication of different sources of financing for operational autonomy from the state, business, & transnational organizations. Based on an analysis of data from the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project, it shows that the pervasive myth of civil society self-sufficiency has no factual base. There is no country where private giving is the dominant source of revenue for civil society organizations. The study explains why this is the case, identifies actual patterns of civil society finance in the world, & discusses the possible implications of various funding patterns for civil society's autonomy.
