AB - This thesis examines the potential for the development of Chinese civil society through an analysis of conceptual discussions about civil society and the role, nature and characteristics of the middle class. Civil society in China can be understood in the context of the supervision and social control imposed by government. First, civil society provides a communication channel between government agencies and the communities' members. Second, government can control unorganized economic participants because civic groups bring them together. Third, social and economic communities are going to carry out some functions which government agencies normally take charge of. As a result, government can expect a cost-saving effect. Fourth, for their members, the communities can take a role of government agencies that seem not to be related to them. That is to say that civil society in China is evolving. However it justifies and supports the policies of political parties and government ideology. These two functions are emphasized. Following the Reform and Opening Up of China, one of the important changes was the growth of the middle class. This growth has brought differentiation as well as expansion of the middle class. Liquidity growth and differentiation of social strata operate as positive factors for development of civil society because they promote the pluralization and diversity of society. In today's China, the middle class is steadily increasing, intervention by government is declining, and the space in which this emerging middle class can be both active and effective is still evolving.. The development of Chinese civil society depends on how well this space is defined and used.
