A Study Focusing on the Government-Nonprofit Relations
Abstract
Since the 1950s, the non-profit sector’s development in Taiwan can be described as ‘dynamic’. Its evolution has been affected mostly by the legal environment, politics, and social context. However, some of these factors were explicit and other implicit. From the viewpoints of history, we observe that there are four driving forces contributing to the growth and dynamics of the nonprofit sector in Taiwan: (1) the contribution offered by the very traditional and grass-rooted charities; (2) the influence of international aid and development NPOs/NGOs; (3) the liberalization of social forces starting since the mid-1980s when the KMT regime claimed the lift of the Martial Law; and (4) the impact of the privatization enforced by the Taiwanese government concerning the provision of social welfare services. The above four driving forces have sketched out the important history and events which in turn affected the development of the non-profit sector in Taiwan.
