Modernizing Democracy brings together scholars focusing the role of
associations and associating in contemporary societies.
Organizations and associations have been identified as the "meso
level of society" and as the "basic elements of democracy". They
are important providers of welfare services and play an important
role between the individual and political spheres. In recent years
the environment of associations and associating has changed
dramatically. Individualization, commercialization and
globalization are challenging both democracy and the capability of
associations to fulfill the functions attributed to them by social
sciences. This change provides the central question of the volume:
Is being part of an organization or association becoming an
outdated model? And do associations still have the capacity of
modernizing societies or are they just outdated remnants of
post-democracy? The contributions to Modernizing Democracy will be
organized into: Studying Association and Associating in the 21st
Century, Associating in Times of Post-Democracy and Associations
and the Challenge of Capitalist Development. The book will be
attractive to third sector researchers as well as a broader
academic community of political scientists, sociologists,
economists, legal scientists and related disciplines.

Gemeinnutzige oder Nonprofit-Organisationen (NPO) stehen aktuell
vor vielfaltigen Herausforderungen. Diese problematisiert der
Sammelband, indem er die Perspektive der Fallstudie wahlt. So wird
anhand einer Vielzahl von Beispielen aufgezeigt, wie NPOs in
unterschiedlichen Konstellationen auf veranderte Rahmenbedingungen
reagieren koennen. Sie illustrieren, wie Probleme in der Praxis
angegangen werden, welche Schwierigkeiten dabei auftreten und wie
diese erfolgreich zu bewaltigen sind. Dabei wird ein breites
Spektrum an Tatigkeitsfeldern, Problematiken und Loesungsansatzen
abgedeckt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt weniger auf den
Grossorganisationen des NPO-Sektors in Deutschland, sondern
vielmehr auf den kleineren Organisationen und ihren Bedarfen,
innovativen Ansatzen und Problemloesungsstrategien.
In dem Band werden anhand umfangreicher empirischer Befunde die
arbeitsmarktrelevanten Funktionen des Dritten Sektors aus der Sicht
gemeinnutziger Organisationen untersucht.
"
Rund 600.000 Vereine sind gegenwartig als gemeinnutzige
Organisationen des Dritten Sektors in den Vereinsregistern
eingetragen; jahrlich kommen ca. 15.000 neu hinzu. Vereine sind
Ausdruck von Selbstorganisation und Gemeinsinn. Dieser Band
vermittelt ein facettenreiches Bild der Vereine als politische,
soziale und auch wirtschaftliche Akteure.
