政治特性、效率误区与发展空间——非政府组织的现实主义理性审视

NGO’s Political Trait, Imperfect Efficiency, and Its Bounds of Progress ——In a Realistic Perspective

非政府组织的乐观主义者在强调该类组织对政府失灵和市场失灵的有益补充时,也或多或少地陷入了两个误区:即忽视了其组织具有的政治性特性,并对其组织效率给予了过高的期望。试图从现实主义的视角,来阐述非政府组织作为一种相对独立并拥有一定社会基础的民间组织所具有的政治功能和作用,以及在组织效率方面可能存在的缺失。并认为,非政府组织对双重失灵的补充性,以及其政治特性和效率缺失,共同构成了其组织与政府之间存在的复杂关系,这种复杂关系在相当程度上决定了非政府组织发展空间的限度。

Optimists on NGO run into two misconceptions while they emphasize that NGO is conduced to solve the problems of both failure of government and market. One misconception is neglect of NGO’s political trait, and anther is the over-evaluation of its efficiency. This thesis attends to explain, in a realistic perspective, that NGO as a relative autonomous organization has political functions and influence on politics, and that it is not that perfect in its organizational efficiency which optimists believed. Its remediation to the failures of government and market, its political uncertainty, and its imperfect efficiency make the relationship between NGO and government complicated. The NGO in China has to find its way to development in this paradoxical relation.
