China’s Legal Environment for Domestic NGOs: Standardized Policies for Greater Party-State Control over Civil Society

Abstract Details

2021, Master of Arts (MA), Wright State University, International and Comparative Politics.
This thesis examines one angle of state-society relations in authoritarian states through the lens of Chinese nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and their legal environment. While grassroots organizations have not prompted political liberalization in China, they have not been entirely co-opted by the party-state either. Through an examination of policy changes, a study of 120 organizations, and a case study of a non-profit incubator, this thesis explores whether the political environment for China’s domestic NGOs varies by geographic region and issue area. The findings suggest there is not significant variation as the party-state has implemented standardized policies for increased control over civil society.
