Still a Century of Corporatism? Models of State-Society Cooperation in China and Germany

Abstract

Taking a public policy perspective, this book explores how local governments and societal organisations in Germany and China work together in order to solve the social problems they face. Against the backdrop of the migration movement to Europe in 2015/16 and the longer history of rural-to-urban migration since the 1980s in China, this comparative study explores the challenges which migration poses to local governments. Despite the fundamental differences in the political systems of the democratic, federal state of Germany and the authoritarian, socialist People's Republic of China, the authors found that governments and societal actors turn to similar solutions to problems related to the integration of migrants and that collaborative governance plays an important role in it.
