Social Enterprise In China (Routledge Contemporary China Series)

Wang offers an empirically-based exploration into Work-Integration Social Enterprises as a means for delivering social services in China. Focussing on the political economy of social enterprise development in China, Wang examines the nature of the relationship between the state and social enterprises and the implications of such relationships for their institutional effectiveness. She adopts a bottom-up approach that investigates indigenous practices embedded within the local political context. A common ground has been established internationally that the social enterprise model provides new ways of social service delivery that could potentially change and restructure the social welfare economy. However, the development path differs across social contexts, especially in an authoritarian country like China. This book will be of great interest both to scholars of China's political economy, and to those with an interest in the development of the social enterprise sector looking to see how this works in a Chinese context.
