“…Supplementary relations. Certain societal problems or needs of particular groups that have been neglected or outright repressed by state policy are addressed by informal citizen groups or formalized NGOs providing emergency relief, social or medical support, but also legal consultation and advocacy for prison inmates, the homeless, victims of domestic violence (Davidenko, 2020), human trafficking victims (Buckley, 2018), sexual minorities, people with HIV/Aids (Pape, 2018), and drug addicts. Those groups work in parallel to state structures in a supplementary mode and are largely condoned by state authorities but still have to contend with general regulations applied in oppressive and invasive manners.…”

This article takes a fresh look at nonprofit/government relations in the context of both the partnership literature on collaboration and the closing space literature on repression. Following the Weberian ideal-type approach, we develop a heuristic tool for nuanced analyses of relations between the sectors in comparative research that is applicable in diverse political regime settings. We integrate foundational conceptions of Salamon, Young, and Najam to develop our framework, which we then illustrate with the cases of Russia and China. While repression is not necessarily the predominant characteristic of nonprofit–government relations in authoritarian regime settings, the reduction of intersectoral relations to collaboration strategies common in Western contexts also falls short of capturing the full complexity of the relationship. Rather than trying to establish national patterns, researchers need to remain sensitive to the coexistence of multiple government/nonprofit relationship types, affecting various parts of the nonprofit sector differently.
