社会化媒体对非洲非政府组织的影响及其限度

当前，使用社会化媒体的非洲非政府组织日益增多。社会化媒体是非洲非政府组织收集和发布信息的平台，也是其与民众、政府和外部其他主体交流的平台。社会化媒体之于非洲非政府组织并非无所不能。作为网络虚拟平台，社会化媒体有其难以克服的缺陷，它必须受制于现实。社会发展的客观现状构成社会化媒体在非洲非政府组织中应用的边界。     

非政府组织与乡村政权的合作、冲突与协调

非政府组织(Non-Govemmental Organization)作为独立于政府和企业的第三支力量,在公共领域的治理方面有着很大的影响.最近几年来国内对非政府组织的研究日益增多,但是大多数集中在论述非政府组织的自身结构、自身运作机制以及国外NGO理论的引进方面,关于非政府组织在农村的发展情况,特别是关于非政府组织与乡村基层政权之间的关系目前关注的人还不多.本文认为由于组织上、利益上的互补以及存在一个共同的治理空间,非政府组织和政府之间存在功能性的合作;但是由于各自组织原则和文化关怀的不同,也使二者之间存在了诸多的冲突.     

劳工NGO对农民工权益保障的价值和限度

在当代中国,政府无论是对劳资事务的监管还是保障农民工合法权益行动,存在许多局限性,均会出现政府失灵的问题,它需要劳工NGO予以回应。而劳工NGO参与社会公共事务治理,尤其是其人性化志愿服务能有效地为农民工提供社会网络支持、情感支持,提升其法律意识,降低可能的暴力维权行动,这对政府劳资事务治理和实现社会稳定有积极意义。但现行非政府组织政策环境限制其参与保障农民工合法权益的活动,同时,劳工NGO大多缺少合法身份和资源,制约其与政府良性互动,降低其作用的发挥。     

Contractual audit and mental health rehabilitation: a study of formulating effectiveness in a Finnish supported housing unit

Saario S, Raitakari S. Contractual audit and mental health rehabilitation: a study of formulating effectiveness in a Finnish supported housing unit Int J Soc Welfare 2010: 19: 321–329 © 2010 The Author(s), Journal compilation © 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and International Journal of Social Welfare. Mental health NGOs in Western Europe are increasingly managed by contractual audit procedures. This article concerns how contractual audit and its emphasis on effectiveness of care impact on the practices of long‐term mental health rehabilitation. To demonstrate this, a case study of a Finnish NGO that provides supported housing is presented. The study looks at how service purchasing practices, as stated in the contract between the municipality and the NGO, are reflected in the meetings among practitioners. Documentary and meeting data were utilised together with Mitchell Dean's notion of technologies of agency. It was found that practitioners actively sought to show the effectiveness of their everyday work in terms of contractual audit by demonstrating both the economic and progressive aspects of care. Thus, professional competency in mental health rehabilitation appears to entail both the skills of care interventions and the ability to perform these interventions as efficient and financially accountable activities.     

中国地方NGO生成机制的制度分析

地方NGO作为一种具体制度安排，其生成机制主要是在外在制度环境的作用下，以潜在利益为基本诱因，外在制度需求与内在制度供给相互契合推进，从而激励地方公民合作创设NGO制度安排的复杂过程。这是中国地方NGO生成的简要逻辑。从制度需求与制度供给的视角分析，在中国地方NGO的生成机制中，国家与市场对NGO制度安排的供给、市民集体行动的理性选择、地方制度转型的适应性安排、地方政府之间的制度竞争、地方知识精英的主导性介入与网络等科学技术进步的推动是六个关键性因素。特别是国家与市场的博弈过程与中国地方NGO的发展壮大过程相伴相生。分析中国地方NGO的生成机制，可以窥见中国公民社会的生长与发展轨迹。     

购买服务还是政府资助--政府向社会组织购买服务的实践含义

作为政府支持社会组织参与社会服务的一种方式,购买服务往往在广义和狭义两个层面被交替使用,带来了实践中的一些理解差异。对此,文章从历史溯源、当下实践和理论分析三个角度出发,分析了这些差异,并从政策规范的角度出发,对政府购买服务的实践含义进行了探析。     

Assessing NGO Empowerment in Housing Development Frameworks: Discourse and Practice in the Philippines

Amid the rise of democratization movements since the 1980s, many governments in developing countries have proactively introduced the ideas of decentralization and devolution into the policy arena. In the pursuit of democratic planning processes where civil society is encouraged to be a part of the formal decision-making system, articles advocating the empowerment of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have been included into a series of legislations. This shift was soon reflected in housing development frameworks for the poor, leading to the formulation of a new approach called "enablement." The Philippines' experience for the last two decades follows this line of development. Filipino NGOs are now prescribed as a catalyst to add further dynamism to the improvement of substandard living environments. Empirical findings of this study exemplify that NGO empowerment has been increasingly accelerated by the combination of NGOs' self-endeavors and governments' initiatives. By utilizing the paradigm shift under the enablement approach, NGOs are engaged in the attempt of alliance-formation and network-building to expand their influence. Contrary to ideals, however, NGO empowerment may reveal some adverse effects such as excessive dependency on NGOs and distorted representation by NGOs. Moreover, the professionalization of NGOs is an additional factor which generates hierarchization at the grass-roots level. This study suggests that further research analyze the depth and width to which NGO empowerment has been penetrated in order to precisely capture the processes and consequences resulting in disempowerment.     

NGO与贫困治理：以香港为例

作为不同于市场和政府的第三种力量，NGO在贫困治理中具有独特的优势和作用。文章拟以香港为例，分析了NGO的发展及其在贫困治理中的作用。经过长期发展，香港NGO已成为一个规模庞大的第三部门，在扶贫领域发挥不可替代的作用。它们直接参与政府各项扶贫计划，提供个性化、多元化的社会服务，逐渐形成了一套比较完善的贫困治理模式，如重视与政府、商界的三方合作，推动社会投资，强调基层居民自下而上的参与。     

论NGO资源汲取能力的强化

改革开放以来,我国政治和社会都发生了转型,各种非政府组织(NGO)的意义日益凸现。但是,比起国家和社会的需要,NGO的功能尚发挥得不够,有很多任务尚无法担当。造成这种困局的主要原因是NGO拥有的资源相对匮乏,能力也较为薄弱。因此,要充分发挥NGO的功能,首要的问题是强化它们的资源汲取能力。     

公共服务过程中非政府组织与政府的互动关系研究

公共服务过程包括社会需求和意志的表达、政府决策和组织安排、公共服务的直接提供和公共服务的问责。由于政府、市场和非政府组织(NGO)具有各自不同的特性,在公共服务过程中,需要NGO与政府的互动。但是因为政府观念转变缓慢、NGO能力缺失和历史经验教训导致的互信不足,使得二者在公共服务过程中的互动存在诸多问题,因此政府急需转变观念,NGO应加强自身能力,促进公共服务过程中NGO与政府的互动。
