{"product_id":"the-nonprofit-sector-9781503608047","title":"The Nonprofit Sector","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe nonprofit sector has changed in fundamental ways in recent decades. As the sector has grown in scope and size, both domestically and internationally, the boundaries between for-profit, governmental, and charitable organizations have become intertwined. Nonprofits are increasingly challenged on their roles in mitigating or exacerbating inequality. And debates flare over the role of voluntary organizations in democratic and autocratic societies alike. \u003ci\u003eThe Nonprofit Sector\u003c\/i\u003e takes up these concerns and offers a cutting-edge empirical and theoretical assessment of the state of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book, now in its third edition, brings together leading researchers—economists, historians, philosophers, political scientists, and sociologists along with scholars from communication, education, law, management, and policy schools—to investigate the impact of associational life. Chapters consider the history of the nonprofit sector and of philanthropy; the politics of the public sphere; governance, mission, and engagement; access and inclusion; and global perspectives on nonprofit organizations. Across this comprehensive range of topics, \u003ci\u003eThe Nonprofit Sector\u003c\/i\u003e makes an essential contribution to the study of civil society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walter W.
