Civil society organizations, nonprofits, national and international
nongovernmental organizations, and a variety of formal and informal
associations have coalesced into a world political force. Though
the components of this so-called third sector vary by country,
their cumulative effects play an ever-greater role in global
affairs. Looking at relief and welfare organizations, innovation
organizations, social networks, and many other kinds of groups,
Meghan Elizabeth Kallman and Terry Nichols Clark explore the
functions, impacts, and composition of the nonprofit sector in six
key countries. Chinese organizations, for example, follow the
predominantly Asian model of government funding that links their
mission to national political goals. Western groups, by contrast,
often explicitly challenge government objectives, and even gain
relevance and cache by doing so. In addition, Kallman and Clark
examine groups in real-world contexts, providing a wealth of
political-historical background, in-depth consideration of
interactions with state institutions, region-by-region comparisons,
and suggestions for how groups can borrow policy options across
systems. Insightful and forward-seeing, The Third Sector provides a
rare international view of organizations and agendas driving change
in today's international affairs.
