What is it about?
This article uses Vietnam as a case study to examine the linkage between a rising number of non-profit institutions and the improvement of good governance practice by analysing impacts of non-profit institutions’ development on government’s transparency at the provincial level from 2011 to 2014.

Why is it important?
Non-profit institutions have long been believed to significantly contribute to good governance practice, particularly in transitional or authoritarian countries. Nevertheless, there has been a lack of sufficient empirical evidence to support that claim.
Perspectives
This article does not attempt to take part in the debate around the definition of civil society. Rather, it seeks to examine possible correlation between growth in NPIs’ number and good governance, at least in the aspect of governance transparency. The choice of NPIs as the main independent variable for the article is due to its quantifiability, but does not necessarily represent our own perception of civil society.
