Charity Development in China An Overview

While benefiting from the wealth generated by economic reform, China has also faced increasing social and environmental problems. With the restructuring of state enterprises, the previous occupational-based welfare system has been abolished. To decentralize the state's role in social protection while tackling social problems, the Chinese government has tried to experiment with different social measures to diversify welfare financing and provisions. Included in the social experiments are non-governmental organizations and charities. This paper provides a critical analysis of the social context of China since its economic reform, which, we argue, paves the way for the current development of NGOs and charities. This overview of current development of NGOs and charities in China also highlights existing structural problems.

Participation in international human rights NGOs: The effect of democracy and state capacity

This study examines the effect of the state on participation in human rights international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) from 1966 through 2006, using random effects negative binomial models. Civic participation in human rights INGOs is not responsive to human rights abuses of the state, but is affected by the institutional environment provided by the state. Two intertwined dimensions within the state, democracy and state capacity, are found to be important in explaining cross-national variation in this participation. Strong state capacity magnifies the effect of democracy. A strong democratic state generates the most favorable condition. A strong but authoritarian state, however, is the most unfavorable, because it has both the motive and the capacity to restrain its citizens’ global civic engagement. In contrast, an authoritarian but weak state lacks adequate capacity to intervene, and thus tolerates more participation than its strong counterpart. Over time differential participation across different types of states has not been diminished. This study reveals the role of the state in mediating between local citizens and global civil society, and develops a state-centered explanation for unequal participation in human rights INGOs across countries.

边城瑞丽公益组织的国际理念与草根精神:一个道德人类学的探索

本文是从道德的视角考察全球公益事业及其地方实践的民族志。人类学研究中常见“道德”一词，但对道德的概念内涵及用法本身的阐述并不多，在回顾近年两位人类学家提出的道德框架之后，本文尝试根据田野经验，从体验、思考道德和伦理的三个层面进行阐释：作为正常/规范的道德，作为善之实践的道德和作为情动力的生命伦理。在作为正常/规范的道德出现动荡与不确定性的境况中，当地一个公益组织响应全球人道主义的呼唤，从事一项为了善的生命道德事业，改善了边城的健康与发展状况。在实践这项道德使命的过程中，以妇女为主体的组织员工创造了一个不断进取的与国际公益理念接轨的“生命-环境”，其中特别突出的是一些农村的HIV感染者妇女，她们以草根志愿者的身份参与公益事业，在奉献中体验到生命情动力本身的飞扬与实现，从而实践着一种生命伦理。通过这个道德人类学的探索，本文试图为公益组织的实践如何落到实处，以及社会变迁中人如何实践更美好的生活，提供一些经验的及理论的参照。
