Examines the shifting role of the state and social organizations (eg NGOs) in providing social services in contemporary China. This title provides a series of case studies that identifies a dynamic whereby the state increasingly withdraws from social service provision with social organizations taking up the slack.

This book examines the impact of changing state-society relations that shape contemporary conflicts over Chinese social service provision and looks at how the ongoing negotiation of political space between the state and society impacted the quality and nature of social service provison in transitioning states.
