Abstract

In recent years, China has been faced with more and more severe public crises such as earthquakes and large-scale rainstorms in many cities and it becomes a more challenging issue for Chinese government to cope with these high-frequency public crises. With the rise and development concept of "civil society" in many countries, China now has a growing number of non-government organizations (NGOs) which emerge to participate in social affairs including public crisis and the cooperation and coordination between these NGOs and the government is a new topic for the public administration in China's political system. In this paper I explore the contexts and practical plights of interaction and coordination between NGOs and government in China through relevant theories on public administration and via the Sichuan Earthquake case in 2008 and after that analysis I propose some countermeasures and possible ways of enhancing and promoting the "NGO-government" cooperation in China's public crisis management under current social environment in China.
