“…The numerous conditions launched by both laws are contributing to maintaining social stability by keeping out those that government perceives as a threat and to keep the NGO sector weak and relatively small. Besides, with all this preoccupation with regulating NGOs activities and behaviour, there is the possibility that the state does not effectively use their potential (Hsu & Hasmath, 2014). Currently, the Chinese government through the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued draft registration and management regulations for public comment for those regulations, including the new Charity Law and the Overseas NGO Law, too, which will go into effect in January 2017.…”

“…Since then, in the country, there have been a lot of issues and challenges calling for citizens to organize in order to articulate and pursue shared interests (Chen, 2006). Thus, NGOs have increasingly become a significant factor in the changing social landscape in China (Hsu & Hasmath, 2014). China has a special social sector really different from the western concept.…”

“…Nevertheless, the total number of self-governing autonomous NGOs is unknown. Ultimately, Hsu and Hasmath (2014) mentioned that in the last three decades, approximately, 440,000 officially registered NGOs have emerged, standing out the high number of unregistered ones as well. Therefore, it cannot be concluded the exact number of organizations operating in China, but the positive growth that these organizations are experiencing is clear and consistent.…”

“…The nonprofit third sector is not exception in this context of change. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of nonprofit organizations working in China, local, or international (Hsu & Hasmath, 2014). Since the beginning of reforms in 1979, NGOs have grown rapidly (Lu, 2007).…”

In a globalized world, not only the business market is overlapped but also marketing models take shape within economic systems. While there has been a proliferation in the implementation of marketing in the private sector, this paper provides a useful entry point for the understanding role of marketing within the nonprofit sector focused on China, the second worldwide economic power. A number of senior managers and directors from different Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) were interviewed of what they understood marketing to be and how they considered and implemented marketing within organizational strategy. The findings showed that while marketing was identified as an interesting and influential concept, Chinese nonprofit managers generally had a limited understanding of a marketing theory. The article further discusses reasons behind the dynamic based on personalized networks of influence used and the potential implications for nonprofit entities in China, a sector that plays a very noteworthy role in transformative economies.

“…It must be acknowledged that a number of studies have examined the role of the third sector in one-party systems. However, they have centred on authoritarian regimes (Huntington 1991;Chazan 1992;Clarke 1998, Heurlin 2010Hsu and Hasmath 2014). Insufficient attention has been given to the impact of OPD on the third sector's policy role in liberal democracies.…”

In liberal systems governing-party-turnover and third sector organisations' engagement in public policy-making are seen as key factors maintaining the health of democracy. However, a significant lacuna in current understanding is the effect on engagement when governing-party-turnover is absent. Accordingly, drawing on qualitative interview data, this study examines the effects of one-partydominance (OPD) in Wales; a regional polity in the UK where the Left-of-centre Labour Party has held uninterrupted government office since a new meso-legislature was created in 1999. The findings reveal OPD introduces a range of pathologies related to party institutionalisation, path-dependency and cognitive locks. These affect third sector organisations' resource dependency and strategic bridging to elected representatives. The resulting democratic ills are self-sustaining and include diminution of NGOs' autonomy, trust and criticality. This study's wider significance lies in underlining the importance of governing-party-turnover-not only to effective third sector public policy engagement, but also the health of contemporary liberal democracies.Résumé Dans les systèmes libéraux, les revenus du parti dirigeant et l'engagement des organisations du troisième secteur dans l'élaboration des politiques publiques sont considérés comme des facteurs essentiels pour le maintien de la bonne santé de la démocratie. Cependant, il existe une importante lacune dans la compréhension actuelle qui est l'effet sur cet engagement si les revenus de l'administration sont absents. Par conséquent, s'appuyant sur les données qualitatives d'entretiens, cette étude examine les effets de la dominance d'un seul parti au Pays de Galles -un système politique régional au Royaume-Uni où le Parti travailliste de centre gauche a maintenu des postes gouvernementaux depuis la création P.

Les résultats révèlent que la dominance d'un seul parti introduit diverses pathologies liées à l'institutionnalisation du parti, à une dépendance au chemin emprunté et à des verrous cognitifs. Ceux-ci affectent la dépendance des ressources des organisations du troisième secteur et le rapprochement stratégique avec les élus. Les maux démocratiques qui en découlent sont distincts et comprennent une diminution de l'autonomie, de la confiance et de l'importance des ONG. La portée plus générale de cette étude réside dans le fait qu'elle souligne l'importance des revenus du parti dirigeant -non seulement pour un engagement public politique effectif du troisième secteur, mais aussi pour la santé des démocraties libérales contemporaines.Zusammenfassung In liberalen Systemen werden der Wechsel der Regierungspartei und die Mitgestaltung der öffentlichen Politik seitens der Organisationen de...

Network structure and collaborative innovation processes—A comparative analysis of two elderly service networks in Shanghai

Summary How does the structure of government‐funded service networks affect the process of service innovation? We have conducted a comparative analysis of the structure and processes of collaborative innovation of 2 government‐funded community‐based elderly service networks in Shanghai. We have found that in consistent with the literature, a network that has a network administrative organization structure is better able to manage the process of service innovation in a way that balances the need to achieve government policy goals on the one hand and the imperative to facilitate bottom‐up citizen participation on the other. Surprisingly, contrary to what prior studies have suggested, we have found that a network in which a lead organization plays a dominant role, despite its more centralized process of service innovation, is often able to deliver a variety of high‐quality and low‐cost services addressing citizens' needs. With the leadership provided by the network lead organization and its close affiliation with the street‐office government, the network has been able to solicit government support. Such a hierarchical yet responsive state‐society relation has emerged as a result of the coalescence of a corporatist state legacy and an increasing pressure for local governments to seek citizens' support in service delivery.
