| Summary/Abstract |
Recent data and policy analysis show that a positive policy and political culture towards non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) have been developed in China which will lay the foundation for the internationalisation
of Chinese NGOs. The changes in global governance, both in terms of a power shift from
Western countries to emerging powers and in terms of the Chinese government’s more assertive role in
global governance, require that Chinese NGOs play a more active role in global affairs. In responding to
the changes, the Chinese government has developed a new strategy on public diplomacy that is expected to
create some political and policy support for Chinese NGOs, especially for grass-roots NGOs’ (G-R NGOs)
internationalisation. However, at this initial stage, the Chinese government and G-R NGOs might not
share the same understanding of the purpose and method of achieving a global role for Chinese NGOs.
Meanwhile, the United Nations (UN) has made many notable efforts to pave the way for engaging with
NGOs. The article argues that the UN platform would be a good starting place for Chinese G-R NGOs’
experimentation with global participation. However, their strategy will determine how far they can go.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article suggests that Chinese NGOs do not have the conviction that they are part of an epistemic community in mainland China. Interviews conducted in four cities, Chongqing, Kunming, Nanjing and Shanghai, suggest that this can be attributed to a lack of set standards and professionalization governing their sector of operation. Further, the study finds that Chinese NGOs do not see knowledge production as their primary role within their organizational development life cycle. This may indicate a varying path towards the maturation of civil society in China, whereby Chinese NGOs do not conform to the organizational development process as outlined in extant NGO literature.
