反思“第三部门”理论:扶贫中的政府与公益组织

Rethinking the"Third Sector"Theory:Roles of the Government and Non-Governmental Organizations in Poverty Alleviation Activities

“第三部门”理论是关于公益组织的一种代表性理论。该理论认为,政府和市场这两个部门可能出现失灵,社会需要政府和私营企业之外的其他组织作为“第三部门”[1],来维护公共利益,承担政府和市场未能承担的功能。

In the practice of Chinese poverty alleviation activities, the government departments had been closely interacting with nongovernmental organizations. They collaborate and communicate with each other and created many productive patterns. In this sense, the "third sector" theory brings unnecessary obstacles due to its over emphasizing on sectors’ distinguishing.
