Nonprofits and Government: Collaboration
and Conflict
Elizabeth
T. Boris and C. Eugene Steuerle, eds. (Urban Institute Press, 1999)
The dynamic relationship between government and nonprofits
changes in response to shifts in society, politics, and policy. Sometimes
complementary, sometimes adversarial—and sometimes both—the collaboration
is vital to developing and maintaining civil society. Practitioners, researchers,
and policy makers alike will benefit from the wide-ranging discussion
of major policy issues, including a comparison of nonprofit and government
resources, regulatory and tax policy, advocacy, devolution, value-based
clashes in religion and the arts, nonprofits and for-profits, and international
perspectives. Contributors from many disciplines analyze the nature and
extent of the relationship between government and nonprofit organizations.
Following an overview, sections cover the flow of money between government
and nonprofits; nonprofits and the development of public policy; and international
dimensions. Subjects include the nonprofit sector and the federal budget,
tax treatment of nonprofit organizations, nonprofit advocacy and political
participation, and government–nonprofit relations in international perspective.
