Policy Initiatives Towards the Third Sector in International Perspective

Over the past decade, the third sector has had tremendous growth worldwide in both size and importance. As many countries struggle to address this changing reality, many have adopted policy initiatives aimed at changing the ways the third sector is addressed. It is a complex process, involving different fields of practice, different levels of government, and different types of third sector organizations. The contributions to this timely volume detail the process as carried out in eight diverse countries: US UK, Canada, Hungary, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, all of whom have recently enacted policy initiatives towards the third sector. The studies are comprehensive: from reviewing the curr...

The Nonprofit Sector in Canada

Governments see not-for-profit agencies as an alternative mechanism for delivering public services. Activists see voluntary organizations as instruments of change. Analysts see community organizations as sources of trust and social cohesion. Despite these heady expectations, we know remarkably little about the not-for-profit sector in Canada. In this book a group of scholars respond to the need for basic research in this field, exploring the scope of the not-for-profit sector, the diverse roles that such organizations play, and their relationships with other sectors.

The Nonprofit Sector in Interesting Times

Relying upon the traditional virtues of innovation and commitment, these organisations are redefining their relationship with governments, forging new intrasectoral alliances, learning new virtual realities, and altering their behaviour to suit shifting funding and policy imperatives. In The Nonprofit Sector in Interesting Times the authors capture this changing environment and evaluate its effects on voluntary organisations as they strive to serve Canadians better, whether at the federal level, across the provinces, or in rural communities. The cases explored here include internet regulation and privacy legislation, conservation efforts and biodiversity, the savings behaviour of NPOs, the breast cancer policy community, and voluntary sector-government compacts. Contributors include Kathy Brock, Philippe Barla (Universit Laval), Malcolm Grieve (Acadia), Femida Handy (York University), Alison Li (York University), Agnes Meinhard and Mary Foster (Ryerson University), and Susan Phillips (Carleton University).

Delicate Dances

The authors of this book look at the relationships in different provincial settings, focusing on Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan, examining the defining influence of government welfare programmes on the lives of two local religious orders in Atlantic Canada. The authors argue that both the public and the nonprofit sectors are changing. In the public sector, the traditional dominance of central governments has given way to a governance system that interweaves action at the global, national, regional and local levels. In the nonprofit sector, groups are assuming new organizational forms and engaging in public policy more centrally, both as advocates and service providers. Not surprisingly, relations between these two sectors involve a complex series of delicate dances, in which mis-steps by either partner can produce tangled confusion.
