Description

The Third Sector: A Global Force in Civil Society Organizations Civil society organizations, nonprofits, and national and international nongovernmental organizations have coalesced into a significant world political force. Their cumulative effects play an increasingly important role in global affairs. This book explores the functions, impacts, and composition of the nonprofit sector in six key countries. The authors examine Chinese organizations, which often follow the predominantly Asian model of government funding that links their mission to national political goals. In contrast, Western groups frequently challenge government objectives, gaining relevance by doing so. The book also considers groups in real-world contexts, providing a wealth of background information on interactions with state institutions and suggestions for borrowing policy options across systems. With an insightful and forward-looking perspective, this international view of organizations driving change in today's global affairs offers valuable insights into the agendas shaping civil society organizations worldwide.
