From Self-Reliance to Collaborative Partnerships:Pathways for the Development of Civil Volunteer Organizations
Civil volunteer organizations,as important actors in this system,are increasingly significant in social governance,yet they face challenges related to legitimacy and resource scarcity. Focusing on the developmental trajectory of civil volunteer organization Z in City G,we observe that mobilizing stakeholders provides emotional incentives for the organization and builds the foundation for it to gain public attention and supports. We also find that social organizational mobilization fosters hub-like volunteer entities that supply essential resources to the or-ganization. Furthermore,we notice that administrative mobilization leverages the political attributes of the Com-munist Youth League to expand operational space for these organizations,enabling them to engage in innovative governance practices. This developmental process is encapsulated in a framework of"stakeholder mobilization—social organization absorption—administrative empowerment."This approach facilitates a bidirectional interac-tion between the hub-like civil volunteer entities and the Communist Youth League,offering valuable insights into the evolution of such volunteer organizations and the cultivation of a diverse,collaborative force in social gover-nance.
