In this book, the authors outline how policymakers in advanced
countries have moved away from exclusive reliance on the public
sector in social service delivery, towards a more multi-faceted
approach that seeks to combine the strengths of public agencies,
private firms and voluntary organizations. This development raises
interesting and complex questions concerning the comparative
advantages of these respective groups in the delivery of goods and
services. The Political Economy of the Voluntary Sector adopts a
comparative institutions approach to assess the strengths and
weaknesses of the government, market and voluntary sectors as
alternative instruments for implementing social and economic
policies. The authors examine existing market failure, government
failure and supply-side models of non-profit organizations before
proposing a new leadership theory of the voluntary sector. They
then explore the interface between the voluntary sector and the
development of social capital. The book culminates in an
investigation of appropriate public policy approaches towards the
voluntary sector. This book will be warmly welcomed by academics,
students, and researchers working on alternative methods of public
policy program delivery, primarily from the disciplines of
economics, political science and public administration.
Practitioners drawn from the public and voluntary sectors, as well
as public policymakers in governments from around the world, will
also find this accessible book of great interest.
