title = "Contracting Out Social Services and the Development of Non-governmental Organizations in China",
abstract = "Contracting out social services has become China{\textquoteright}s main approach to deliver social services. This chapter critically analyses the advantages and disadvantages of China{\textquoteright}s contracting practices on its non-governmental organisations. As a result of China{\textquoteright}s contracting policy, more NGOs have established and are providing more services. On the other hand, NGOs have to do extra work not listed in the service contracts because local governments are treating them as official agents. Moreover, NGOs trend to focus on providing services instead of engaging in human rights issues for fearing of reducing chances in securing government contracts. Under the contracting social services policy, the Chinese government is able to enhance the welfare contributions of NGOs but limits their political activities.",
