The bounded welfare pluralism: public–private partnerships under social management in China

Shih-Jiunn Shi

Public Management Review, 2017, vol. 19, issue 4, 463-478

Abstract: This article discusses a new public–private partnership promoted by an emerging social management agenda in China. Based on an analysis of recent developments in social policy, the present study suggests that the inherent logic and local practice of social management has crowded out the space for societal sectors despite the proclaimed recognition of their social contribution. The collaboration of public and private entities in welfare provision by social management may end up merely co-opting civic organizations into taking responsibility for meeting welfare targets over which they have scant influence, while providing little support for them to thrive and prosper.
