Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy interest in the not-for-profit (NFP) sector has grown in step with government's interest in leveraging the capacity of non-state players to perform service delivery functions. Once consigned to the periphery of policy-making, the NFP sector is now widely accepted as an essential player in a mixed economy of service provision. Increasingly, the achievement of public policy objectives requires working collaboratively across sector boundaries. Government's engagement with NFP service providers has, on many occasions, been found wanting. The use of competitive tendering and contracting for the purpose of leveraging greater economic and technical efficiency, choice, responsiveness and innovation in the delivery of selected statutory public services has introduced a range of tensions, contradictions and externalities including failures to fund the full cost of service delivery, the uncertainty of year-to-year contracts, burdensome reporting and compliance requirements, and the substitution of competitive behaviours for collegiality among NFP providers. In the process, the role of NFP organisations as sources of policy advice and legitimacy were devalued. Governments around the world have attempted to regularise relations with the NFP sector through the adoption of formal cross-sector policy frameworks - or 'compacts'. Compacts serve a number of purposes, some explicit, others implicit. Explicit purposes include the regularisation of relations between the public and third sectors by establishing agreed rules of engagement; creating pathways for investment in sector capacity and capability; and enunciating the values and behaviours required for effective cross-sector working. Implicit purposes include a desire by governments to better manage the politics of their relationships with the third sector, and a desire by the sector to re-weight its policy influence within a strongly asymmetric relationship with government. This research takes the form of a comparative multi-case study and relies upon a rich primary and secondary literature, supplemented by interviews with elite policy actors in Australia and New Zealand. It aims for a deep contextual understanding of the range of factors contributing to the spread of compacts amongst Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions. Employing Kingdon's (1995) process streams analysis as a heuristic framework for analysis, this thesis seeks to understand why cross-sector policy frameworks have entered onto the public policy agenda in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Kingdon's schema, 'policy windows' open when three 'process streams' converge: the problem stream, the policy stream and the politics stream. The prospect of any solution attaining high 'agenda status' can be enhanced by the efforts of 'policy entrepreneurs' capable of recognising and exploiting those 'policy windows'. This study finds that in each of the jurisdictions examined, formal proposals for compacts or similar frameworks have: (a) been preceded by a broad recognition that aspects of the relationship between government and the NFP sector have become problematic; (b) been promoted within various policy communities as a feasible solution to acknowledged problems; and (c) entered onto the public policy agenda at politically propitious moments. The study found that the implementation and impact of cross-sector policy frameworks is highly variable. Nevertheless, political and policy attachment to compacts and similar frameworks appears to be on-going.
Book Synopsis Rebalancing Public Partnership by : John Brothers
Download or read book Rebalancing Public Partnership written by John Brothers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the US, as in many other Western economies, federal and state government is working to become more involved with the nonprofit sector; a sector in which many of the organizations are singularly ill-prepared and strategically unaligned to fulfill the new role that is being asked of them. Based on his original research, John Brothers brings together leading thought leaders from the United States and around the world by exploring the prevailing attitudes and perceptions of the nonprofit sector towards government and vice versa and provides advice and direction to help both sides of the equation towards effective collaborative working. The main themes cover the nature and implications of regulatory reform on the sector and how non-government organizations should reengineer their practices. There are also chapters on some of the hot button areas of government contracting and political advocacy. The text includes best-practice examples, case studies as well as tools and templates from across the sectors. Both sides of this emerging partnership need fast-track education on each other’s capabilities, constraints and working practice. Dr Brothers’ contributors provide some very valuable perspectives and insights that should inform and direct this process.
Book Synopsis Nonprofits as Policy Solutions to the Burden of Government by : Herrington J. Bryce
Download or read book Nonprofits as Policy Solutions to the Burden of Government written by Herrington J. Bryce and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses a specific subset of nonprofits that are chartered with a single mission: decrease the burden of government. Designing and engaging nonprofits to lessen the burden of government requires a specific description and acknowledgement of the burden to be lessened, and these may include the provision of infrastructure, the relief of debt, or the provision of general public services that are not motivated by charity. It also requires the assignment of specific operating powers to the nonprofit including the power of eminent domain. This book explores these and other related topics including the avoidance of resource dependence on government when attempting to reduce its burden. The book is addressed to the policy makers and rule makers who design policies that affect the ability of the nonprofit to effectively lessen the burden of government. It is also addressed to public administrators in search of innovative ways of implementing these policies consistent with the laws, and to the creative nonprofit managers who are charged with carrying out the mission often in collaboration with the government or other entities. To the advanced student in all related fields, the author offers not only material for discussion, but enables discovery of what is possible by giving key examples of organizations meeting the terms and objective of lessening a significant burden of government.

Book Synopsis Private Action and the Public Good by : Walter W. Powell
Download or read book Private Action and the Public Good written by Walter W. Powell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1998-03-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments around the world are turning over more of their services to private or charitable organizations, as politicians and pundits celebrate participation in civic activities. But can nonprofits provide more and higher-quality services than governments or for-profit businesses? Will nonprofits really increase social connectedness and civic engagement? This book, a sequel to Walter W. Powell’s widely acclaimed The Nonprofit Sector: A Research Handbook, brings together an original collection of writings that explores the nature of the "public good" and how private nonprofit organizations relate to it. The contributors to this book—eminent sociologists, political scientists, management scholars, historians, and economists—examine the nonprofit sector through a variety of theoretical and methodological lenses. They consider the tensions between the provision of public goods and the interests of members and donors in nonprofit organizations. They contrast religious and secular nonprofits, as well as private and nonprofit provision of child care, mental health services, and health care. And they explore the growing role of nonprofits in the United States, France, Germany, and Eastern Europe, the contribution of nonprofits to economic development, and the forms and strategies of private action.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring how cross-sector collaboration can solve seemingly intractable societal problems Many people tend to think of the public, non-profit and private sectors as being distinctive components of the economy and broader society—each with its own missions and problems to address. This book describes how the three sectors can work together toward common purposes, accomplishing much more than if they work alone. With the nation reeling from multiple challenges, more than ever the United States needs these sectors to collaborate to address what might seem to be intractable problems. Cross-sector collaborations and partnerships are more crucial than in the past as the country tries to recover from the economic, health, and broad social dislocations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At a time when trust in institutions, both public and private, is at an all-time low, cooperation among the sectors can be a confidence-inspiring approach to addressing public problems. This book reviews the state of cross-sector collaborations, identifies emerging practices, and offers a range of perspectives from experts in the field. Practitioners show how cooperation among sectors is relevant to their core missions. Scholars from a wide range of disciplines discuss both the broad and specific concepts that advance understanding of cross-sector collaboration. At a time when the United States must recover from and address new challenges, the book shows how cross-sector collaborations can help ensure a brighter future. Its core conclusions should be of particular interest to leaders in each of the broad sectors, as well as educators and students at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

Book Synopsis The Boundary Between the Not-for-Profit and Business Sectors by : Benjamin M. Leff
Download or read book The Boundary Between the Not-for-Profit and Business Sectors written by Benjamin M. Leff and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is conventional to think of not-for-profit organizations as inhabiting a sector distinct from the private business sector on one side and the government sector on the other. One of the traditional goals of law in the nonprofit sector has been to distinguish entities in the nonprofit sector from those in the business sector - to define and police the boundary, both so governmental benefits can be provided to not-for-profit entities and so stakeholders can understand which organizations are bound by the nondistribution constraint. Therefore, when there are legal reforms that complicate or alter the boundary, these reforms should be evaluated not only with respect to whether they adequately protect the government's interest in providing benefits to worthy enterprises, but also whether the new reforms promote or detract from the sector's ability to communicate clearly with stakeholders.This chapter (i) introduces the two primary ways that the law of nonprofit organizations attempts to regulate the boundary between the nonprofit and business sectors, (ii) roots commercial activity by nonprofits in the long history of fee-for-service nonprofit organizations that operate very much like for-profit businesses, and (iii) introduces and evaluates a number of new legal forms created for for-profit social enterprises.
Book Synopsis The Three Sector Solution by : John Butcher
Download or read book The Three Sector Solution written by John Butcher and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays had its origins in a one-day workshop held in August 2015 at The Australian National University. Jointly convened by Dr John Butcher (ANZSOG) and Professor David Gilchrist (Curtin Not-for-profit Initiative) the purpose of the workshop was to bring together academic researchers, policy practitioners and thought leaders to address a variety of emerging issues facing policymakers, public sector commissioners, not-for-profit providers of publicly funded services, and businesses interested in opportunities for social investment. The workshop itself generated a great deal of interest and a ‘baker’s dozen’ of contributors challenged and engaged a full house. The level of enthusiasm shown by the audience for the subject matter was such that the decision to curate the presentations in the form of a book was never in doubt. The editors trust that this volume will vindicate that decision. At one time the state exercised a near monopoly in the delivery of social programs. Today, almost every important public problem is a three sector problem and yet we have little idea of what a high-performing three sector production system looks like. It is the editors’ hope that this volume will provide a foundation for some answers to these important public policy questions.

Book excerpt: Relying upon the traditional virtues of innovation and commitment, these organisations are redefining their relationship with governments, forging new intrasectoral alliances, learning new virtual realities, and altering their behaviour to suit shifting funding and policy imperatives. In The Nonprofit Sector in Interesting Times the authors capture this changing environment and evaluate its effects on voluntary organisations as they strive to serve Canadians better, whether at the federal level, across the provinces, or in rural communities. The cases explored here include internet regulation and privacy legislation, conservation efforts and biodiversity, the savings behaviour of NPOs, the breast cancer policy community, and voluntary sector-government compacts. Contributors include Kathy Brock, Philippe Barla (Universit Laval), Malcolm Grieve (Acadia), Femida Handy (York University), Alison Li (York University), Agnes Meinhard and Mary Foster (Ryerson University), and Susan Phillips (Carleton University).
