Sinopsis

Wang offers an empirically based exploration into work-integration social enterprises as a means for delivering social services in China. Focusing on the political economy of social enterprise development in China, Wang examines the nature of the relationship between the state and social enterprises and the implications of such relationships for their institutional effectiveness. She adopts a bottom-up approach that investigates indigenous practices embedded within the local political context. Common ground has been established internationally that the social enterprise model provides new ways of social service delivery that could potentially change and restructure the social welfare economy. However, the development path differs across social contexts, especially in an authoritarian country like China. This study provides insights into ChinaâÇÖs efforts to develop its social welfare sector and reinvigorate customary ideas about how public services could be better offered given the countryâÇÖs political economy.This book will be of great interest toáboth scholars of ChinaâÇÖs political economy and those with an interest in the development of the social enterprise sector looking to see how this works in a Chinese context.
