To what extent do Chinese nonprofit organisations, through advocacy activities, engage
citizens in influencing public policies and contribute to the development of a participatory
policy process in China? Based on data collected through a mail survey of 203 registered
nonprofit organisations, this study examines the advocacy activities of Chinese nonprofits
and their contributions to a responsive government. We find that the intensity of advocacy
activities by Chinese nonprofits is relatively low and varies by organizational type, by degree
of professionalisation, and by dependence on government funding. We find no association
between advocacy intensity and the extent to which Chinese nonprofits engage citizens
at the organisational level prior to their advocacy efforts. The ineffective marshalling and
integration of citizens’ interests within Chinese nonprofit organisations might be attributable
to the corporatist structure of the institutional and resource environments in which Chinese
nonprofit organisations operate. |
