Collaboration and partnership are well-known characteristics of the
nonprofit sector, as well as important tools of public policy and
for creating public value. But how do nonprofits form successful
partnerships? From the perspective of nonprofit practice, the
conditions leading to collaboration and partnership are seldom
ideal. Nonprofit executives contemplating interorganizational
cooperation, collaboration, networks, partnership, and merger face
a bewildering array of challenges. In Partnerships the Nonprofit
Way: What Matters, What Doesn't, the authors share the success and
failures of 52 nonprofit leaders. By depicting and contextualizing
nonprofit organization characteristics and practices that make
collaboration successful, the authors propose new theory and
partnership principles that challenge conventional concepts
centered on contractual fulfillment and accountability, and provide
practical advice that can assist nonprofit leaders and others in
creating and sustaining strategic, mutually beneficial partnerships
of their own.

Policymakers, civic leaders, and scholars have increasingly focused
their attention over the last decade-and-a-half on the importance
of voluntary participation in civil society. From George H. W.
Bush's Thousand Points of Light to Bill Clinton's AmeriCorps to
George W. Bush's faith-based initiatives, it is undeniable that
communities are looking to increase their levels of charity and
voluntarism in the provision of public goods and services. What
mobilizes giving and volunteering? What are the characteristics of
communities that are engaged, and those that are not? What can
policymakers and nonprofit managers do to change the current
landscape in places with low levels of participation? These are the
questions this edited collection addresses. It is the first book
specifically dedicated to community giving and volunteering efforts
with a best practices element. Published in cooperation with the
Alan K. Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University.
Public management involves leading, coordinating, and stimulating
public agencies and programs to deliver excellent performance.
Research and practice of public management have developed rapidly
in recent years, drawing on the fields of public policy, public
administration, and business management. In carrying out their
crucial roles in shaping what government delivers, public managers
today must confront daunting challenges imposed by shifting policy
agendas, constrained financial resources combined with constant
public demands for a rich array of public services, and increasing
interdependence among public, private, and third-sector
institutions and actors. At the same time, these challenges and
other developments offer exciting opportunities for improving
knowledge and practice in public management, for the benefit of
everyone. In this volume, leading scholars contribute advances in
the theory, methods, and practice in this burgeoning field. The
selections address four key topics: the nature and impact of public
management; creative new methods for public management research;
reform, reinvention, innovation, and change; and, new models and
frameworks for understanding and improving public management.
