不同的学科、理论和经验视角造就了民间社会组织治理的万花筒图景。在大多数情况下，民间社会组织的治理与企业组织的公司治理形成对比；很少考虑到民间社会组织的广泛多样性。为了拓宽这一视角，我们建立了一种基于经验的类型学，包括五种民间组织话语：管理主义、家庭主义、专业主义、草根和公民话语。我们认为，这些论述都具体回答了治理的三个核心问题：CSO对谁负责，即谁是需要受到治理机制保护的关键行为者？CSO对什么样的业绩负责？哪些结构和程序适合确保问责制？不同的话语回答这些问题的方式使我们能够更深入地理解民间社会组织中各种治理概念背后的原因。
Different disciplinary, theoretical, and empirical lenses have contributed to a kaleidoscopic picture of the governance of civil society organizations (CSOs). Most of the time, CSO governance is contrasted with corporate governance in business organizations; only rarely is the broad variety of CSOs taken into account. To widen this perspective, we develop an empirically grounded typology of five discourses of organization in CSOs: managerialist, domestic, professionalist, grassroots, and civic discourse. We argue that each of these discourses gives specific answers to the three core questions of governance: To whom is the CSO accountable, i.e., who are the key actors who need to be protected by governance mechanisms? For what kind of performance is the CSO accountable? And which structures and processes are appropriate to ensure accountability? The way in which different discourses answer these questions provides us with a deeper understanding of the reasons behind the manifold notions of governance in CSOs.
