This book combines empirical research and theoretical discussions
to demonstrate that the civil society paradigm as a western concept
could be applicable to the study of state-society relations in
contemporary China. However, the growth of Chinese civil society
does not necessarily present an adversarial or confrontational
relationship between state and society, but rather it is a
cooperative relationship based on common interests and mutual
benefits between industrial associations and local governments. The
findings of this research confirm that, in contrast to the
conventional civil society model in Western and Eastern Europe,
where civic organizations are independent of the state, challenging
the state hegemony, Chinese civic organizations, however, still
lack autonomy and even remain closely linked to the state, but they
are growing and expanding their public space and important role in
public affairs through active participation. This non-western path
for civil society development is a precise reflection of reality
that is profoundly shaped and constrained by Chinese institutional,
sociological, and cultural context. Through close investigation
into the industrial, organizational, and social governance of
industrial associations in Wenzhou and in-depth analysis of their
challenges and developments within the institutional context, this
book provides fresh empirical evidence and insightful analysis of
how industrial associations have actively participated in local
industrial governance and conduct of public affairs, gained greater
space for their development, and become indispensable partners of
local government in social governance.
