Nonprofits and Government: Collaboration and Conflict

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 policymakers alike will benefit from the authors' 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.
