Abstract
The First Decade of <i>Nonprofit Policy Forum</i>
Highlights
In 2010, citizens and scholars worldwide were concerned with a somewhat different set of policy-related issues than they are
As this is my last issue as Editor-in-Chief of Nonprofit Policy Forum (NPF), I want to take this opportunity to look back, and to gauge the progress this journal has made compared to our aspirations in 2010
The United States was coping with high unemployment, Europe with internal tensions associated with austerity policies and sovereign debt of Southern European members, the Middle East and Russia with the declining price of oil, less developed countries with chronic poverty, and China and India with the challenges of modernization and growth, etc
Summary
In 2010, citizens and scholars worldwide were concerned with a somewhat different set of policy-related issues than they are now. Democratic aspirations have been suppressed in much of the Middle East as well as Hong Kong, and autocracy is on the rise in countries in Eastern Europe including Hungary and Poland, in Turkey and India, and it has tightened its grip in Russia and China. The latter poses great challenges for nonprofit policy research. Civil society is integrally involved in the pandemic in a variety of ways across the globe but we are yet to fully understand how its role and efficacy affect, and are influenced by, developments in public policy
