It recounts how in the aftermath of the 1978 reforms that created a market economy and diversified interests and social life, new institutions and organizations outside of the state system increased dramatically in number, size and influence. These organizations, which barely existed before the reforms began in the late 1970s, carry out many social, economic and cultural tasks neglected by the government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQiusha Ma examines two key questions crucial to understanding the development of NGOs in China: First, is it possible under China's one-party state for non-governmental organizations to thrive and play important economic, social and political functions? And secondly, are NGOs facilitating the formation of a civil society in China?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Qiusha Ma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415369193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415369190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.36w x 0.77d","brand":"Qiusha Ma","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086595567871,"sku":"9780415369190","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fcc55f9-e548-4759-9c55-9cacb5104b8c.jpg?v=1769095591","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/non-governmental-organizations-in-contemporary-china-qiusha-ma-9780415369190","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
