This volume is a collection of original essays prepared by
colleagues, collaborators, and former students on the occasion of
Helmut K. Anheier’s 65th birthday and retirement from the
University of Heidelberg. An internationally recognized pioneer of
nonprofit and civil society studies, Anheier focused his work on
providing clarity around (1) civil society, local and global,
observing its origins and trajectory and developing theories to
explain it; (2) the nonprofit sector and institutions within and
extending from it, including nonprofit organizations, philanthropy
and social investment; and (3) culture as it relates to democracy
and back to civil society. The essays in this volume refer to these
concepts and position them in the context of developments over the
last two to three decades. The volume is arranged in three
sections. The first section comprises essays that elucidate
concepts and probe theories in the field. The second section
presents chapters discussing current global challenges and trends
in the focal areas. The third and final section then comprises
country and regional case studies illustrating important aspects of
the global challenges or theoretical issues of the two preceding
sections. A fascinating and up-to-date overview of key issues and
trends in civil society and nonprofit research by an international
collection of eminent scholars in these fields, this book will be
attractive to civil society and nonprofit sector researchers as
well as a broader academic community of political scientists,
sociologists, economists, and cultural experts.
