  2. Dimensions of Civil Society • Civil Society I • Economic dynamic • Non-critical realm • Stability/support • Civil Society II • Political dynamic • Critical realm • Opposition/threat • No evidence that China’s capitalists support regime change

  3. Corporatism • State Corporatism • Authoritarian context • Societal Corporatism • Democratic context • Corporatist elements in China diminishing

  4. CCP Strategy • Not a passive actor • Promoted expansion of private sector • Close integration of CCP and private sector • “red capitalists” • Appointments to political posts • Business associations • Cooperation and support consistent with civil society I perspective

  5. Charity • Controlled by CCP • Local charity groups • Mobilization of CCP members • Few incentives • “charity begins at home”

  6. Questions • If CCP’s pro-business, pro-reform priorities change, will private entrepreneurs’ support also decline? • Do large firms share same interests and goals as small and medium size firms? • How will “Fifth Generation” leaders influence CCP-private sector relationship?
