Non-governmental organizations in contemporary China

"The development of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the evolution of a civil society in China emerged in the aftermath of the 1978 reforms, creating for the first time new institutions and organizations outside of the state system. This book analyzes how the rapid growth of NGOs was a measure of the profound social change and political tensions occurring within China from the 1980s to the present day." "As the first comprehensive volume on Chinese NGOs, it covers crucial aspects of the subject including governmental NGO policy, roles of the grassroots organizations, features of people's associational behavior and involvement from international NGOs. Qiusha Ma draws on a wealth of primary material from interviews with key Chinese figures to detailed case studies on NGO organizations and individuals. Her in-depth research highlights the environmental protection movement, advocacy for victims of AIDS and drugs, organizations for women's rights and the activities of the HOPE project for children in deprived rural regions."--ON LEAF PRECEEDING TITLE PAGE.
