Government-Nonprofit Collaboration in Social Welfare Service Provision: An Analysis of the Social Welfare Subvention System in Hong Kong

Research output: Conference PapersAbstractpeer-review

Abstract

Government-nonprofit collaboration in welfare provision is not a novel concept. Yet, studies on their collaborative relations seldom address the nuances of state structures and power reconfiguration in the welfare policy-making and service implementation system, which relentlessly influence the government-nonprofit relations in social welfare service provision. Utilizing the social welfare subvention system (“SWSS”) reform in Hong Kong as an example, this research developed an analytical framework, by adopting the new institutionalist approach, to systematically scrutinize the changes in government-nonprofit relations during different periods of time, against the backdrop of altering political structure, welfare policy-making system and implementation mechanisms of the SWSS.
