Dr. Timothy Hildebrandt (Associate Professor of Social Policy at the LSE), an internationally-recognised expert in the study of NGOs in China, is offering his course on Chinese social organisations this coming August at the LSE-PKU Summer School in Beijing. This course explores the unique context within which NGOs and other social organisations have emerged in China, revealing how they have been able to often coexist with the government. It draws attention to the strategic adaptations that leaders of these organisations make in order to operate in a more narrow political environment such as China's, and examines how this might change the nature of their activities and ultimately the effect they can have on society. 

Application Deadline: 15 June 2018
