Voluntary Sector Organizations and the State
商品資訊
商品簡介
In the early 1990s, voluntary organizations garnered little
attention in Canadian policy circles, even though the federal
government was simultaneously offloading its responsibility for
essential services to the sector and cutting back their funding. Two
decades later, the voluntary sector is a key public policy player in
federal, provincial, and municipal politics.
Rachel Laforest tells the story of how and why the federal
government's relationship with voluntary organizations changed at
the end of the twentieth century. Drawing on interviews and insights
from governance theory, social movement theory, and urban studies, she
shows why the turnaround represented a significant shift in the way
citizens and policy makers view the place of voluntary organizations in
public policy. Members of voluntary organizations have struggled for a
stronger voice in policy making and redefined their relationship to the
federal government through key collaborations such as the Voluntary
Sector Initiative and the National Children's Initiative.
This deft account of how a loose coalition of voluntary
organizations was transformed into a distinct sector offers a new
conceptual framework for explaining dynamic state-voluntary sector
relations at all levels of government.
Rachel Laforest is an associate professor and head of
the Public Policy and Third Sector Initiative in the School of Policy
Studies at Queen's University.
