Burgeoning Transnationalism of Taiwan's Social Movement NGOs

So far as Taiwan's foreign relations are concerned, in parallel to the state's diplomacy and state-blessed Track-II maneuvering, there has emerged a more natural and meaningful phenomenon: i.e. grassroots solidarity between Taiwanese activist NGOs and their foreign counterparts, as a result of the joint pursuit of common social justice goals. It is high time that voluntary transnational activism was studied for a more comprehensive understanding of Taiwan's foreign relations in the era of democratization and surging activism of transnational social movement campaigns. This paper discusses the internationalization of Taiwan's social movement NGOs: their background, motivations, activities, and roles in transnational politics. Special attention is paid to the fact that while Taiwanese NGO activities in the transnational NGO community by nature ignore and disregard the state's diplomatic interests, both the quality and quantity of such activities have been severely restricted by Taiwan's poor diplomatic status in the inter-state community. This is a unique paradox not studied in the mainstream discourse on transnational civil society.     

NGO在公共卫生服务中的角色分析

公共卫生服务是公共服务的内容之一。虽然公共卫生服务主要是政府的职责,但也是可以通过多种组织形态来提供的。本文分析了国家级NGO参与公共卫生项目的数量、比例和领域,提出了公共卫生服务中NGO的补充角色及其具体体现,包括在人力资源、资金、特殊领域和内容、特殊地区和人群以及服务模式探索等方面的补充作用,并从筹资和服务两个方面总结了NGO参与的方式。基于此,作者提出NGO和政府在公共卫生领域良性互动的模式。     

关于开展和加强非政府组织统战工作的探讨

目前,我国的非政府组织正处于继续发展壮大的有利环境中,作为党和政府密切联系社会各界人士、全面了解社情民意的桥梁和纽带,其作用越来越突出。非政府组织的发展为统战工作拓展了新领域,增加了新内容,提出了新要求,所以,从统一战线的角度关注非政府组织,并以非政府组织为载体创新和发展统战工作,是统一战线适应统战成员社会化和开拓统战工作新局面的必然要求。     

夯实社会基础是发展民间组织的关键

民间组织并非是一个全新的话题,由于种种原因,在很长一段时间内,我们对民间组织的思考与研究是停滞的、空白的。随着改革开放的深入,民间组织作为一个难以回避的话题,逐渐引起专家学者们的关注,并随着社会向现代化的不断转型、国家与社会的分野、政府职能的转变等而愈来愈凸现其重要性,而成为当下的热门话题。可以说,从它的概念、内涵到具体的组织形态、社会职能以及发展方向等方面,研究探讨者众多,洋洋大观,众说纷纭,有共识,也有争论,更有来自不同层面的反馈意见与建议。日前,上海市社会科学界联合会就这一话题展开了深度探讨。我刊在此基础上,于本期编发这组笔谈以及李友梅教授等的文章,并将继续关注这一话题,目的就是希望能从纷纭的众家之说中找寻更多的共识。

NGOs in Hong Kong: The present and the future

This study analyzes NGOs’ influence in Hong Kong's political, social, and economic life. It addresses three questions. Firstly, what are their major roles and how effectively can they play them in society? Secondly, how active are these organizations? Finally, how confident are the NGO leaders about their organizations’ future? Based on a telephone survey conducted in August 1996, it finds that NGOs in Hong Kong are characterized not only by common functions but also some unique ones created by the territory's special status. In general, Hong Kong's NGOs are fairly active, which has little to do with the specialization, financial resources, and geographical foci of the organizations. Despite Beijing's explicit guarantee of the freedom of NGO activities, this study reveals that a clear majority of the NGO leaders expressed doubts about their organizations’ future.     

农村非政府组织与和谐社会的构建

改革开放以来,农村非政府组织获得了长足的发展,已经成为乡村社会重要的建设力量,也是和谐社会构建的一支生力军。总的来看,农村非政府组织作为一种制度化的形式在一定条件下能够控制冲突、化解矛盾、平衡各方的利益,通过协商对话达成一致,从而推动社会主义和谐社会的发展。不过,由于乡村社会环境的复杂性、农村非政府组织尚不成熟以及农村非政府组织与正式组织之间关系仍未理顺等原因,农村非政府组织对和谐社会的构建还会产生一些负面影响,应该引起我们特别的关注。

民间组织参与农村公共服务的模式与限度

民间组织参与农村公共服务供给对于满足农村公共需求、实现城乡协调发展和完善农村社会管理具有重要价值.为此,必须要创新民间组织参与农村公共服务供给的模式,着力构建政策参与、资源动员、项目合作、志愿服务、社区自助等多种模式.民间组织在农村公共服务供给方面具有独特优势,但由于受多种因素约束和自身特点所限,民间组织应该主要为农村提供较低层次的公共服务、准公共服务、个性化公共服务和社会性公共服务,这是民间组织参与农村公共服务供给的边界和限度.
