Nonprofits and Government: Collaboration and Conflict

The collaboration between government and nonprofit organizations is vital to developing and maintaining civil society. Nonprofits & Government challenges simplistic assumptions about what nonprofit organizations can do and how they affect society, as well as how government affects them, and offers tools to guide the development of public policies that affect the nonprofit sector. Practitioners, researchers, and policymakers alike will benefit from the authors' wide-ranging discussion of major policy issues, including a comparison of nonprofit and government resources, regulatory and tax policy, advocacy, devolution, value-based clashes in religion and the arts, non-profits and for-profits, and international perspectives.
