Abstract

The inherent defects of the government and market make the governance of social public affairs calling for the participation of the third sector, especially in the field of charity affairs. The research of collaborative governance among charity organization, government department and economic entities plays an important role to promote the development of charity affairs. With the application of polycentric theoretical framework, the paper analyzed the structural and functional location of charity organization participating in the social governance, and preliminarily drew the outline of polycentric governance framework. Moreover, through the analysis of existing collaborative model, the polycentric governance framework was added in SFIC collaborative model, thus forming the polycentric collaborative governance model, and the explanation on the topic that some charity organizations participated in the social governance was proposed.
