Along with the continuous deepening of reform and opening up, China's socialist market economic system is gradually perfecting itself. The functions of our government continue to be adjusted and optimized. At the same time, public management and service concepts and models have been transformed correspondingly. The governance philosophy originally proposed by Western scholars is playing an increasingly important role in China. The rise of governance philosophy derived from the academic circles of western world that saw the market failure and the government's failure in the allocation of social resources. The scholars hoped that they could find another way from outside the market and government to address the issues of optimal allocation of resources by studying the governance philosophy. The governance philosophy emphasizes the multi-governance, limited governance, flexible governance and harmonious governance. It essentially breaks the traditional dichotomy thinking mode between market and economy, public sphere and private sphere, political state and civil society, taking the effective management as a cooperative interaction between the two and trying to establish a new paradigm for public administration.Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are the civil society organizations arisen in late twentieth century. As an institutional innovation, NGOs provide a new possibility to address market failure and government failure. As an important part and the governance subject of civil society, NGOs are playing an increasingly important role in social services, economic development, promoting political reform and social integration.Since 1980s, China's non-governmental organizations have accessed to a larger development. Growing up in the reality of socialist market ?economic system with Chinese characteristics, NGOs have distinctive Chinese characteristics. The author conducted a study taking Shanghai Sunshine Community Youth Affairs Center as an example summarizing that the current NGOs in China have significant features: 1. The formation and development of NGOs are led by the government. 2. NGOs have a structural model of"duality of the government and the people".With reviewing the development history and the current situation of the relationship between NGOs and governments at home and abroad, the relationship between government and NGOs can be divided into three types; they are oppositional"zero-sum", mutual noninterference, cooperation and complement. According to the current situation of our government and NGOs, the author believes that it has a solid theoretical and practical foundation to build partnerships with favorably interactive effects between our government and NGOs at present. With the continuous deepening of the transformation of government functions, the functions released by the government need to be shouldered by relevant governance subjects. However, China's non-governmental organizations are lack of development, and the government takes an absolutely dominant position in the occupancy and allocation of social resources. In addition, NGOs and the government have the same purpose, complementary functions and a good history of cooperation.This paper discusses how to build cooperative partnership relations between our government and NGOs from two dimensions: Government and NGOs. Government should provide institutional support, create a good environment for development, including improving laws and policies, improving financial support system, and strengthening competitions. NGOs should enhance the organization construction, strengthen their capabilities and focus on clarifying the organizational mission, improving the self-regulatory mechanism and strengthening the financing capacity.
