Partners in Public
Service: Government-Nonprofit Relations in the Modern Welfare State
Lester
M. Salamon
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995)A collection of 15 essays written during the debate
of the past few decades about the relative role of public and private institutions
in dealing with society's problems, a period during which private non-profits
became the primary vehicle for delivering social services and governments
became the primary source of income for the non-profits. They examine the
theoretical basis of ties between governments and non-profits, the realities
of non-profit size and government support, the consequences on service delivery
for the non-profits and recipients, how the politics of the 1980s impacted
the arrangement, and prospects for its future both in the US and elsewhere.Softcover, 310 pages, $18.95 |
