Abstract:

Based on the theories of corporatism, this study did an in-depth examination and a comprehensive analysis of the interaction between governmental and non-governmental organizations of various types in Shanghai using the qualitative case study method with the concepts of authorization, control and monopoly as the targets of analysis. From the perspective of state corporatism, two new concepts are proposed: protective state corporatism and stratified corporatism. Using the same theoretical perspective to observe the relationship between the state and society, the researchers have found that the original “column-shaped” relationship is now being transformed into a “funnelshaped” one, which indicates the initial blurred boundary between the state and society.
