我国社区NGO发展现状与思考:基于社会资本的视角

"善治"描绘的是国家与公民个体对社会管理水平的良好期待,即实现有效治理。单中心秩序模式的超负荷运作呼唤新的制度设计,善治语境下的社会管理体制更强调多元合作、参与治理。社区NGO在吸纳散居社会个体、搭建国家-社会互动平台的基础上随之成为治理主体一极。多极非均势治理主体的复杂博弈同样引发一系列问题:主体权力边界模糊、自治力量分化、社会网络空间缺失、治理主体单一、信任危机频发,治理模式下的社区NGO困难重重。社会资本理论在摒弃纯粹理性经济范式的基础上突出了对沟通文化的考量,其所倡导的网络、合作、信任等范式也为走出社区治理的博弈困境提供了一个全新的思考路径。     

非政府组织参与公共危机治理的研究

当前我国公共危机频发,给人民生命财产安全带来极大的损害,因此,科学构建公共危机治理体系成为理论研究的现实课题,基于政府组织在公共危机应对过程中表现出的不足,应该让非政府组织（NGO）参与到公共危机治理体系中,非政府组织以其志愿谋公益的精神、能够有效整合应急资源、危机治理的专业化和专门化及较强的行动力等优势应该成为政府公共危机治理的合作伙伴。非政府组织在公共危机的正常阶段、预兆阶段、爆发阶段、恢复阶段可以分别发挥不同的功能,但当前我国的非政府组织参与公共危机治理还存在立法缺失、衔接有缝、自身实力不足、公共信任度不够等问题,需要政府转变观念,科学设计非政府组织参与公共危机治理的途径。

Challenges in framing women's rights as human rights at the domestic level: A case study of NGOs in the post-Soviet countries

This case study examines framing as an essential communication strategy used by women's rights NGOs at international and domestic levels. The article uses a theoretical framework of transnational advocacy networks, originally developed by political scientists Keck and Sikkink (1998), to demonstrate the importance of public relations’ efforts in political communication campaigns of women's rights NGOs around the world. Supported by the United Nations, these NGOs play an important role in democracy building and contribute to women's empowerment efforts. However, an examination of communication strategies used by these NGOs to help implement the Platform for Action—the UN-promoted agenda for women's empowerment—showed that the existing frame of women's rights as human rights may not be successful in all contexts. This study argues that at the domestic level the issue of women's rights needs to be presented in greater detail than the current human rights frame allows it to be.     

South African NGOs and the public sphere: between popular movements and partnerships for development

This article examines the widespread notion that post‐apartheid democracy can be deepened and civil society strengthened by NGO activities in the sphere of public debate and participation. I focus on a number of interrelated processes which I argue may compromise NGOs' ability to expand the public sphere: first, donors' overwhelming focus on NGOs as the sole representative of civil society may contribute to a homogenous and institutionalised public sphere; second, the tendency for NGOs to be drawn into partnerships with government bodies and corporate sponsors casts doubt on their ability to open up spaces for critical public debate. By directing attention to popular movements as potentially offering a site for the production of critique, NGOs' relationships to such movements are examined. It is argued that attention must be paid to the processes of NGO‐isation and reformism by which NGOs themselves come to define what civil society should be and may consequently contain counterpublic spheres.     

儿童社会服务组织与流浪儿童、留守儿童救助

流浪儿童和留守儿童的救助是儿童福利事业最基础的部分,也是我国新时期社会建设的重要命题.随着社会发展,民间组织快速发育,成为社会服务的重要组成部分.在流浪儿童和留守儿童的救助工作中,政府对我国的儿童保护提供了制度上和物质上的双重保障,而民间组织则发挥了整合社会资源,弥补政府资源不足,推动服务专业化的积极作用,形成了多种着眼于儿童发展的科学救助模式.但由于多方面的原因,民间组织的救助仍然存在诸多问题与不足,弱势儿童救助工作仍然任重而道远.     

Sacrificing Women: A Study of Ritualized Practices among Women Volunteers in India

This study addresses issues related to inequality formation and reproduction, especially in regard to gender dynamics operating in a non-western society. Grounded in a post-colonial understanding of urban educated upper and middle class women NGO volunteers in contemporary India, it analyzes how they negotiate new approaches to challenge existing traditional gender roles, yet in critical ways contribute to their reproduction, particularly the traditional concept of ideal Indian womanhood. Employing structural ritualization theory we examine how ritualized symbolic practices related to the traditional concepts of caretaking, sacrifice, and the concept of natural sexual differences continue to be emphasized in a generation confronted with conflicting expectations about modern women’s roles. Twenty-one testimonies provide the major source of evidence along with data gathered through participant observation. This research enhances our understanding of the power of rituals and how they can continue to shape the cognitions and activities of actors.

我国慈善立法中政府与慈善组织关系的重构

近年来,我国慈善事业发展迅速。但我国目前慈善组织偏离其非政府组织本质,政府对慈善组织的行政管理代替其法人内部治理。应借鉴其他国家的立法经验,在我国慈善立法中取消"双重管理体制",对各种慈善组织进行科学分类,重构其与政府的关系,是解决其他问题的关键。     

Making sense of leaving care: The contribution of Bridges model of transition to understanding the psycho-social process

This paper is based on research into the transition of young people leaving public care in Romania. Using this specific country example, the paper aims to contribute to present understandings of the psycho-social transition of young people from care to independent living by introducing the use of Bridges (2002) to build on existing theories and literature. The research discussed involved mixed methods design and was implemented in three phases: semi-structured interviews with 34 care leavers, focus groups with 32 professionals, and a professional-service user working group. The overall findings confirmed that young people experience two different, but interconnected transitions - social and psychological - which take place at different paces. A number of theoretical perspectives are explored to make sense of this transition including attachment theory, focal theory and identity. In addition, a new model for understanding the complex process of transitions was adapted from Bridges (2002) to capture the clear complexity of transition which the findings demonstrated in terms of their psycho-social transition. The paper concludes with messages for leaving and after care services with an emphasis on managing the psycho-social transition from care to independent living.
