    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (1363KB) ( 4908 )
    The development of localized social work is urgently needed for solving practical problems of the Chinese society. Currently, the institutional construction of Chinese social work is confronted with a series of challenges such as the difference and opposition between practical forms and implementation approaches, the gap and separation between social understanding and public recognition, and the conflict and isolation between service ideas and management objectives. The fundamental idea for localizing Chinese social work is to speed up the specialization, professionalization and institutionalization of social work, promote the transition from domination by government alone to domination by multiple participants and the change from government taking all responsibilities to government purchasing service, form  the institutional system, working procedure, service experience and practical method with local characteristics, enlarge the coverage of social work gradually, realize indepth combination between professional ideas and Chinese culture, and enhance the internal force that push the development of social work.

    SOCIAL WORK AND MANAGEMENT, 2012, 12 (4): 17-23. 
    Abstract    HTML ( ) PDF (1151KB) ( 3213 )
    Chinas policies on public participation in volunteer service have evolved through four stages of development——allowing exploration in nongovernmental circles, organization commissioned by departments, encouraging diversification and promoting social integration. These policies include laws and rules, documents of the Party and government, leaders speeches, charters and resolutions, public regulations, etc. with the characteristics of multilevels and multitypes. They function effectively to create community culture of volunteer service, advocate public participation, encourage the growth of community service organizations, form a supportive network of resources, and to protect the rights and interests of volunteers. In the future, the states policies concerning volunteer service should focus on creating an environment in which policies could be shared nationally, forming a sound system, and establishing a mechanism for coordinative development.
