What role do Chinese popular associations play in the expansion of
civil society and democratization? Under Mao few associations were
permitted to exist, while today over 200,000 associations are
officially recognized. Are they important foundations of civil
society, or vehicles for state corporatism and control? In this
book leading China specialists examine an interesting range of
associations, from business associations to trade unions, to urban
homeowners associations, women's groups against domestic violence,
and rural NGOs that develop anti-poverty programs. The contributors
find different important trends underway in different parts of
China's economy and society. Their findings are nuanced, insightful
- and often not what might be expected.
