Social Entrepreneurship and Citizenship in China: The Rise of NGOs in the PRC: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Social Entrepreneurship and Citizenship in China: The Rise of NGOs in the PRC" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Over the last thirty years, social entrepreneurship has boomed in the Peoples Republic of China. Today there are hundreds of thousands of legally registered NGOs, and millions more unregistered, working in the areas of the environment, education, womens issues, disability services, community development, LGBTQ rights, and healthcare. The rise of these Chinese NGOs and their implications for civil society merits the focus of significant scholarly attention.This book draws upon the personal stories of social entrepreneurs in China, as well as their supporters and beneficiaries, in order to examine what the rapid growth of social entrepreneurship reveals about Chinas complex and dynamic society in the 21st century. It discusses the historical, cultural, and political circumstances that allowed and inspired people to become social entrepreneurs and create new forms of democratic engagement. Examining what social entrepreneurship with Chinese characteristics looks like, the book explores how it is changing the relationship between Chinese citizens and the state, and goes on to explain the subsequent effect on Chinese society.Highlighting the importance of citizen activism in the PRC from an interdisciplinary perspective, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Studies, Chinese Politics, Civil Society and Sociology.

Social Entrepreneurship and Citizenship in China
Over the last 30 years, social entrepreneurship has boomed in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of legally registered NGOs (nongovernment organizations), and millions more unregistered, working in the areas of the environment, education, womens issues, disability services, community development, LGBTQ rights, and healthcare. The rise of these Chinese NGOs and their implications for civil society merits the focus of significant scholarly attention.
This book draws upon the personal stories of social entrepreneurs in China, as well as their supporters and beneficiaries, in order to examine what the rapid growth of social entrepreneurship reveals about Chinas complex and dynamic society in the twenty-first century. It discusses the historical, cultural, and political circumstances that allowed and inspired people to become social entrepreneurs and create new forms of democratic engagement. The book examines what social entrepreneurship with Chinese characteristics looks like and explores how it is changing the relationship between Chinese citizens and the state, and goes on to explain the subsequent effects on Chinese society.
Highlighting the importance of citizen activism in the PRC from an interdisciplinary perspective, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Studies, Chinese Politics, Civil Society and Sociology.
Carolyn L. Hsu is Associate Professor of Sociology at Colgate University, USA. She is the author of An Institutional Approach to Chinese NGOs (2015) and Creating Market Socialism (2007).

The modern Chinese state has traditionally affected every major aspect of the domestic society. With the growing liberalization of the economy, coupled with an increasing complexity of social issues, there is a belief that the state is retreating from an array of social problems from health to the environment. Yet, as we survey Chinas social and political landscape today, we not only see that the central state is playing an active role in managing social problems, but also that state actors at the local level are emerging in partnerships with relatively new actors such as social organizations and private enterprises.
The Routledge Research on the Politics and Sociology of China series is interested in examining the sociology and politics of this new China. The series will engage with contemporary research that explores the intricacies of institutional interactions, and analysis of micro level actors, such as migrant workers, ethnic minorities and women, who are shaping Chinas future. The book series seeks to promote a discourse and analysis that views state and society as contested spaces for power, authority, and legitimacy. As a guiding principle, the series is notably interested in books that use China as a laboratory for confirming, modifying or rejecting existing mainstream theories in sociology and politics.

To my father, J. Carl Hsu (19422014), who always believed in me.

Without the contributions of many wonderful people, this book would not exist or at least it would have even more weaknesses, flaws, and errors than it currently contains.
I must begin by thanking the Chinese activists and social entrepreneurs who were in my study. Sociologists spend most of their lives mired in terribly depressing topics. To spend so much time with such generous, enthusiastic, smart people whose work makes the world a better place was a joy and a blessing. I wish that even more of your amazing stories could have made it into the final version of the book. Special thanks goes to those who went above and beyond the role of simple interviewee and helped me with their insights, introductions, corrections, and even friendship: Peter Xu, Ruth Ji, Yang Xing, Yang Peidan, Xu Yongguang, Caroline Watson, Vance Wagner, Lila Buckley, and Jin Jiaman.
Thanks to all the scholars who shaped my understanding and analysis of the rise of NGOs in China, especially Jennifer Hsu, Reza Hasmath, Jessica Teets, Andrew Kipnis, Karla Simon, and Shawn Shieh. I am grateful beyond words for their incisive criticisms, probing questions, and useful advice, not to mention their brilliant and influential scholarship. Susan Brownell has no idea of this, but she is the reason why I began studying this topic. Sometime in the early 2000s, on a panel at one of the annual meetings of the Association of Asian Studies, she said, Why isnt anyone studying Project Hope? What is going on here? I was an anonymous young scholar in the audience, and I thought, Shes right! This sent me down a rabbit hole from which I have not yet escaped.
Funding for this project came from the Spencer Foundation and the Colgate University Research Council. I am grateful to Yuzhou Jiang, my research assistant, for all of the work in the summer of 2009. All my friends know that I can barely write an email without typos, so many thanks to everyone who helped me with the tedious work of making sure this manuscript was readable, clear, consistent, and presentable, especially Mary Charest, Chelly Crouch, and Karen Austin.
To turn closer to home, I am grateful to Lara Scott, not just for the excellent illustrations and map, but also for being my best friend. Thank you for the analytical discussions about everything, and the constant reminder that God is good. I am thankful to my brilliant and beautiful daughter, Lin, both for helping me format the bibliography and for putting up with my whining about this book. Im sorry Im not a better example. To my husband, Christopher Henke, thank you for letting me exploit your sociological, research, and writing expertise at home. You love me far more than I deserve. My father, J. Carl Hsu, always believed that I could become a scholar. Im sorry you didnt get to see the book, Daddy, but this one is dedicated to you.
