民间社团在澳门不但历史悠久,而且功能独特。回归以来,随着澳门政治经济社会环境的巨变,民间社团的发展进入了变革与分化的新阶段。社团数量与密度持续大幅跃升,而增势却渐显疲态;在社团结构与类型上,现代性社团不断扩张,新型社团日渐兴起;在社团成员与社团关系方面,“委托—庇护”关系面临解体;而社团相互关系则出现了合作关系的弱化与竞争关系的形成新局面,由新兴社团发起的体制外抗争与冲突性社会运动呈现出街头化倾向;在社团与政府关系方面,社团的“拟政府化”功能遭到削弱,紧密型依赖关系正在调整之中。

In the meantime,the quasi-governmental function of organizations has become weaker.
