Received wisdom suggests that social organizations (such as
non-government organizations, NGOs) have the power to upend the
political status quo. However, in many authoritarian contexts, such
as China, NGO emergence has not resulted in this expected regime
change. In this book, Timothy Hildebrandt shows how NGOs adapt to
the changing interests of central and local governments, working in
service of the state to address social problems. In doing so, the
nature of NGO emergence in China effectively strengthens the state,
rather than weakens it. This book offers a groundbreaking
comparative analysis of Chinese social organizations across the
country in three different issue areas: environmental protection,
HIV/AIDS prevention, and gay and lesbian rights. It suggests a new
way of thinking about state-society relations in authoritarian
countries, one that is distinctly co-dependent in nature:
governments require the assistance of NGOs to govern while NGOs
need governments to extend political, economic and personal
opportunities to exist.
