This book offers a groundbreaking comparative analysis of the emergence of NGOs across China in three different issue areas: environmental protection, HIV/AIDS prevention, and gay and lesbian rights. It demonstrates how organizations must constantly adapt activities to match the changing interests of local governments and shows how these organizations can paradoxically strengthen, rather than weaken, the authoritarian regime.
