Over the last thirty years, social entrepreneurship has boomed in
the People's Republic of China. Today there are hundreds of
thousands of legally registered NGOs, and millions more
unregistered, working in the areas of the environment, education,
women's issues, disability services, community development, LGBTQ
rights, and healthcare. The rise of these Chinese NGOs and their
implications for civil society merits the focus of significant
scholarly attention. This book draws upon the personal stories of
social entrepreneurs in China, as well as their supporters and
beneficiaries, in order to examine what the rapid growth of social
entrepreneurship reveals about China's complex and dynamic society
in the 21st century. It discusses the historical, cultural, and
political circumstances that allowed and inspired people to become
social entrepreneurs and create new forms of democratic engagement.
Examining what social entrepreneurship with Chinese characteristics
looks like, the book explores how it is changing the relationship
between Chinese citizens and the state, and goes on to explain the
subsequent effect on Chinese society. Highlighting the importance
of citizen activism in the PRC from an interdisciplinary
perspective, this book will be of interest to students and scholars
of Chinese Studies, Chinese Politics, Civil Society and Sociology.
