Qian Wei, "The Governance of Philanthropic Foundations in Authoritarian China" (Routledge, 2022)
Chinese philanthropic foundations navigate a uniquely challenging terrain shaped by authoritarian governance.\xa0The Governance of Philanthropic Foundations in Authoritarian China: A Power Perspective\xa0(Routledge, 2022) examines these complexities, delivering a novel multilevel analysis of the power dynamics that underpin the governance of nonprofit organizations within an authoritarian context.\nChinese philanthropic foundations, with their distinct democratic culture, grapple with a unique set of challenges. The government\u2019s evolving methods of control often lead to stringent regulations that limit the foundations\u2019 autonomy. Foundations that heavily rely on individual donations are particularly vulnerable to these pressures, potentially transforming into conduits of authoritarianism rather than champions of democratic values.\nThis book offers a comprehensive and, at times, bleak picture of the conditions under which Chinese foundations operate, offering critical insights into the future trajectory of the nonprofit sector in China.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
