This book is the first monograph to provide a multilevel analysis
of power dynamics underlying the governance of philanthropic
foundations in the authoritarian context of China. As a special
kind of organization with a democratic culture, Chinese
foundations' governance is under more pressure than we realize. The
government has been evolving its methods to impose stringent
control over foundations (Chapter 3) and "purer" foundations highly
dependent on individual donations are more likely to adopt
authoritarian leadership styles rather than being mechanisms
spreading democratic values in Chinese society (Chapter 4).
However, this practice does not come without a price. Given power's
double-edge of both enabling and constraining effects, although
strongman leaders may use their power to get things done, their
power may also cause the problem of accountability (Chapter 5).
Overall, Chinese society is a stable system with authoritarian
power modes. This system is not static but in constant flux,
homogenizing incompatible parts until all units of the system adopt
the same power mode. This book establishes a comprehensive and
bleak picture of the unfavorable conditions foundations in China
face and provides valuable insights to understand the future of the
nonprofit sector in China. This book will be of interest to
students and researchers in the fields of sociology, political
science, and nonprofit studies (NGO management). It will also be a
valuable resource for NGP practitioners.
