This informative bibliographic study provides the most thorough
survey available of the literature on voluntary associations. The
authors first sketch major theories on the origin, growth, and
functions of voluntary associations and discuss the place of
associations in political theory, viewing especially the unproven
assumption that voluntary associations are beneficial to a
democratic society. They then survey the findings on the role of
voluntary associations in the political and social structure
(abroad as well as in the United States). The specific
organizations themselves are covered and the final chapter views a
recent development in the field-volunteers in government service,
such as the Peace Corps. The final section of each chapter is an
annotated bibliography of works cited in the text or related to its
subject; over 600 items are listed.
