NGO Development in China
Talk by Timothy Hildebrandt, King’s College London
Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013
4:00pm
11377 Bunche Hall
In this talk, Timothy Hildebrandt discusses his new
book, which examines the development of NGOs in China. The
book offers a cross-regional, multi-case study examination of NGOs in
three different areas：environmental protection, HIV/AIDS prevention,
and gay and lesbian rights. By carefully breaking
apart and analyzing the opportunity structure facing Chinese social
organizations, the book demonstrates how NGOs must adapt activities to
match the changing interests of local governments. Its comparative
approach also provides for important insights into
variation across locale and issue area. The book ultimately shows how
social organizations paradoxically strengthen, rather than weaken, the
authoritarian regime in China. In this talk, he will also look toward to
future of NGOs in China, discussing how new
political and economic limitations are beginning to force these
organizations to either adapt or die. The changing forms of Chinese NGOs
are looking less like traditional nonprofits and more like businesses.
Dr.
Timothy Hildebrandt is currently a lecturer
in Chinese Politics at King’s College London; in September 2013 he will
join the Department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics
and Political Science. His research focuses on the changing
state–society relationship in China, NGO development
in authoritarian polities, the linkages between activism and social
entrepreneurship, the political economy of social exclusion, and
emerging LGBT rights and activism in the non-Western world.
