Nonprofits and government: collaboration and conflict

Abstract

The dynamic relationship between government and nonprofits changes in response to shifts in society, politics, and policy. Sometimes complementary, sometimes adversarial?and sometimes both?the collaboration is vital to developing and maintaining civil society. 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, nonprofits and for-profits, and international perspectives.
