Summary/Abstract |
The capacity of the Chinese government to provide adequate public services is constrained. Social service organizations have been founded to fill the gap. The chinese government reformed its policies in 2007 to more effectively use social organizations to meet people's needs and stengthen its management to avoid social disorder. The decentralized governance system assigned local government units to develop specific policies to fulfill this goal. To provide updated information on social service organizations and their relationship with the government in this new context, this study investigates four disability service organizations with a focus on Beijing. It is found that grassroots service organizations exhibit fairly strong autonomy and viability in the development process. However, these organizations have an ambivalent potential to contribute to the development of civil societyin the future. Both facilitating and constraining factors are identified in this study. Moreover, policy changes alter the relationship between the government and social service organizations. This study argues that a state-led partnership has emerged between the state and the grassroots service organizations in China. The future development of this embryonic partnership depends on the degreeto which the government relies on grassroots

Summary/Abstract |
This paper explores the reasons behind the relative success of the CCP's direct control over the news media in the early 1950s. Despite its importance in understanding the rise of depotism during the Mao era, the nationalization of the newspapers has not been fully studied. Building upon the recent studies emphasizing the adaptive nature of the CCP, this study analyzes the ownership transformation of the Shanghai newspapers from the 1930s to the early 1950s by going beyond the 1949 divide. I argue that the CCP's relative success in.

Summary/Abstract |
Policy entrepreneurship has been a key concept to explain policy dynamics and policy changes. Despite considerable debate on the role of policy entrepreneurs in the policy making process, insufficient effort has been put forth on motivations of policy entrepreneurs and interactions between policy entrepreneurs and other key players in different settings. This article explores the role of policy entrepreneurship in local policy process in a transitional society, China, with special reference to housing reform experience in Guizhou Province. It argues that value, knowledge, and tactics such as framing are crucial for policy

Summary/Abstract |
The rise of China is a major theme in international relations for both scholars and statesmen. Based on existing theories, namely the power transition theory and the balance of power theory, China's rise is forecasted to be violent, either by challenging the existing hegemon or by inviting counterbalancing efforts. Nonetheless, these arguments are highly controversial and lead to a neglect of theorization about rising great powers. Therefore, this article attempts to revisit and revive the theoretical discussions and present a refined theory of rising great powers that can explain the past and illuminate the future. to provide a clear picture of capabilities, the refined theory exclusively focuses on material variables. The theory demonstrates that the different material contexts in which great powers rise explain the differences in their external behaviors and how they are treated by existing great powers.
