商品簡介
Finding that the scholarship on philanthropic organizations has not kept up with the growing reliance on them as sources of funds in the nonprofit sector, economists, sociologists, and law scholars analyze then on a global level. They assess the capabilities of many foundations in various countries, examine the contexts in which they function, and analyze comparatively the factors that have shaped their development. The collection begins the series of monographs on the relationship between the nonprofit sector and civil society for scholars and policymakers. Annotation c.
