ABSTRACT

In the process of modernization of social governance, the functional orientation and mechanism of group organizations in public affairs governance have attracted increasing attention from academic circles. As a core group organization embedded in the national governance system, China Disabled Persons’ Federation is not only representative, coordinated, but also executive-oriented, demonstrating the unique attributes of a compound governance entity. This study is based on social governance theory and adopts a governance process analysis framework to systematically sort out the functional structure and operating mechanism of the Disabled Persons' Federation across the three stages of governance input, process, and output. Research points out that the Disabled Persons' Federation effectively promotes the demands of disabled people into the public agenda through its needs expression and interest representation functions; promotes diversified collaborative governance between the government, social organizations and disabled people through overall coordination and intermediary mechanisms; and adopts policy implementation and feedback mechanism to improve the achievement of governance goals. Further analysis shows that the social governance function of the Disabled Persons' Federation is affected by multiple factors such as institutional authorization and functional boundaries, organizational governance capabilities and external collaborative environment, and there are certain structural difficulties. To this end, this paper proposes that functional positioning should be clarified, organizational capabilities should be improved, and collaborative networks and feedback mechanisms should be improved to optimize the functional effectiveness of the Disabled Persons' Federation in the governance of disability affairs. The research in this paper will help deepen the theoretical understanding of the functions of complex governance entities of mass organizations, and provide reference for improving the governance system for persons with disabilities and promoting the modernization of social governance.
