In the course of China’s transition from a planned to a market economy, social governance has begun to experience a transformation from a system of regulation solely by the government to joint governance by government agencies, businesses and nonprofit organizations. As China’s social system is being redefined, Chinese nonprofits have become an important and complex force of social development and progress, comprising not only the governmental not-for-profit organizations of the old system, but also a wide array of newly-emerging social, political and civil groups.

This peer-reviewed, semiannual journal, published in Chinese by Social Sciences Academic Press (Beijing) and in English by Brill, will serve as a forum for researchers specializing in the undertakings and organization of Chinese nonprofits. The English version of the journal endeavors to make the latest scholarship on Chinese nonprofits available to a worldwide audience. Drawing on an editorial board of international scholars and researchers specializing in studies of nonprofit organizations, the journal will provide a truly independent and authoritative source of observation, analysis, theoretical thinking and policy-making advice during a time of social transition and innovation in China.
